What does BIFMA certification mean for a drafting chair?

BIFMA (Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association) certification means the drafting chair has been tested to industry standards for commercial use, including static load, durability cycling, stability, and impact resistance. Chairs that pass BIFMA X5.1 (seating standard) have been verified safe for commercial multi-user environments. Non-BIFMA chairs may be cheaper but often fail prematurely in office settings with multiple daily users.
