What is Occasional-Use Seating?
Occasional-use seating includes a variety of chair types typically used in settings where permanent seating is not feasible. These include folding chairs, stack chairs, stools, and other types of movable seating. The ANSI/BIFMA X6.4 standards provide a framework for evaluating the durability, safety, and performance of these seating products under typical use conditions.
Why ANSI/BIFMA X6.4 Standards?
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturer’s Association (BIFMA) collaborate to set forth the X6.4 standards for occasional-use seating. These standards are critical for manufacturers and distributors aiming to:
Ensure product reliability and user safety.
Mitigate liability through compliance with accredited standards.
Enhance product quality and endurance.
Satisfy both domestic and international market demands.
