BIFMA - Result: Certified for the professional office
The BIFMA X5.1 test is an important benchmark for the quality and safety of office furniture and is carried out by the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturer's Association (BIFMA). The aim of the test is to check the strength, stability, safety and durability of office furniture and to ensure that it meets the high demands of professional office use.
To ensure that the ofinto Active is also the ideal office chair for continuous use in the office, we subjected it to the BIFMA X5.1 test. Among other things, the seat of the ofinto Active was subjected to a load of 130 kg 260,000 times. The backrest had to withstand a tensile weight of 32 kg 20,000 times. The abrasion resistance of the fabric cover and the stability of the armrests were also tested.
