Are monitor arms tested to BIFMA or other commercial standards?

Commercial monitor arms are tested to ANSI/BIFMA X5.5 (Desk Products Standard) and related standards covering: structural integrity under load cycling (simulating years of daily adjustment), mount attachment pull-out strength, arm joint durability, and finish performance. Some manufacturers also test to EN 527-2 (European standard equivalent) for global product certifications. When purchasing for commercial environments, verify that the arm has been BIFMA tested — consumer-grade arms from consumer electronics retailers may not be tested to commercial durability standards.
