ISO 7174-2:1992 PDF Download

The stability of rocking chairs and chairs with tilting or reclining mechanisms when fully reclined is the topic of the standard ISO 7174-2:1992. The standard describes how to evaluate the rearward stability of certain kinds of seats. It should be noted that this particular standard does not address the methods for determining forward and sideward stability, which are described in ISO 7174-1.

The standard emphasizes that the test results are only relevant to the specific chair type that is being examined. As a result, the stability findings cannot be extrapolated to other chairs belonging to the same category or having comparable mechanics. The purpose of this standard is to give producers, merchants, and buyers a dependable and consistent way to assess the stability of chairs in particular rocking or reclining postures.
