The objective of this Standard is to provide educational authorities, purchasers, specifiers, users, manufacturers and consumers with requirements for school and educational chairs that specify sizing, safety, strength, durability and stability requirements to assist in selection and evaluation.

This Standard specifies sizing, safety, strength, durability and stability requirements for eight sizes of chairs for educational institutions.
Chairs may be —
(a) fixed height;
(b) height adjustable;
(c) with arms;
(d) without arms;
(e) have fixed seats; or
(f) swivel seats.
Chairs may have —
(i) fixed or inclinable backrests of not more than 30° from vertical;
(ii) fixed or inclinable single slope seats;
(iii) a writing tablet; or

Where a chair includes a storage component, this Standard will not make any strength or durability assessment of that component.

(D) pedestal types.
Bases may be fitted with —
(1) wheels;
