Scope
This document specifies requirements and test methods for the determination of the strength, durability and stiffness of star bases for use for seating with three or more legs.
It is applicable without regard to materials, design/construction or manufacturing processes.
The requirements are based upon star bases fitted with castors whose wheels are up to 65 mm diameter and for use by persons weighing up to 150 kg.
Purpose
The standard offers seating manufacturers a set of requirements that will assist them in getting the right quality of bases from suppliers. Moreover, this standard can contribute to the health and safety of users (prevention of accidents form breaking bases) and to save materials (reduction of breakage, thus reduced need to replace them).
