Durability of wheels and base

Durability of Casters and Base

The NF Office Excellence Certified brand is well-earned: episode 12!

The product before your eyes proudly bears the NF certification mark.

Perfect, but what has it done to earn that distinction? A long journey of qualification filled with successive steps, with the main one being compliance with a technical reference system – a list of rigorous normative tests established by FCBA and validated by users.

Curious to see it in action?

Discover one of the mechanical tests conducted on office chairs: the durability of casters and the chair's base.

Objective of the test:

Simulate a person moving on their chair and measure the impact on the casters and chair base.

Principle of the test:

Chair loading: 110 kg
The chair moves linearly over 1 meter, with 6 cycles (back and forth) per minute
just like in normal use where the wheels pivot freely during movement.
