In the CPSD-HL-01019-MTHD standard, developed within the scope of consumer protection and safety by Bureau Veritas, a global organization working in the fields of independent surveillance, inspection, certification and risk prevention of French origin, the requirements for determining the seating impact resistance of a seating group are explained and a test method is used. is defined. At the end of the test, no structural deterioration or deformation is expected in the seating group under a test load of approximately 90 kg in free condition. The maximum possible deformation should be around 6 mm.
Dimensional measurements taken before starting the test are taken. After testing, the dimensional measurement that exceeds the allowable deformation tolerance is determined. Dimensional measurements need to be recorded and reported before and after testing. In some cases it is recommended to take a digital image.
If a mattress cannot be provided by the manufacturer for testing according to this standard, a standard plywood can be used. In this case, a blow is applied to the center of the seat (on a piece of plywood measuring 15 cm x 48 cm x 48 cm) from a distance of approximately 2 cm.
With this test, the seating effect and seating strength of a seating group such as a sofa or chair are determined. The purpose of this test is to make the following evaluations for the sofa or chair:
In endurance tests, certain loads are applied cyclically to the seat and backrest. In these tests, loads are applied to simulate people sitting and standing thousands of times. Loads are not as large as those specified in static tests. In this context, the front edge of the seat or chair is also tested for durability. In this case, alternating loads are applied to both sides of the front edge of the seat or chair. The exact locations at which loads are applied will vary with the particular type of endurance test. For the structural components of the seat, including the armrests, tolerances are calculated in durability tests that do not occur in simpler static tests.
Among the numerous tests, measurements, analyses, and evaluations our organization provides for businesses in various sectors, we also offer seating impact resistance testing services under the CPSD-HL-01019-MTHD standard, utilizing a trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment.
