2 Requirements common to all types of furniture
2.1
Electrical safety
Normative references:



UTE C15-801
NF EN 60335
NF EN 60598-1 / 2.1 / 2.2 / 2.6
The electrical safety compliance of furniture is established according to 3 types of equipment:
Case no. 1: Electrifiable furniture (furniture capable of receiving electrical equipment put in place by the user).





A piece of electrifiable furniture is a product designed to receive electrical equipment of the user's free
choice. The instructions provided with the product need to give all information necessary for proper
installation, in particular on the location of the product and on its method of connection to the fixed
installation.
The certificate only covers the compliance of the non-electrified model type, as it has been certified.
The technical product identification sheets and technical catalogues referring to the NF Mobilier
Professionnel mark must also bear the wording "certified without electrification".
Protection against indirect electric shocks: The cable channels and all edges that may come into contact with
the cables are softened so as not to harm the cables. The flexible cables must be removed from any traction
power exerted by a stop device provided at the point of entry of the flexible cable into the furniture and
near the connections. An earth connecting plug is provided for the metal parts of the furniture coming into
contact with the cables. This earth connecting plug is indicated by a pictogram on the furniture and specified
in the assembly instructions. The earth connection is carried out under the responsibility of the installer.
Protection against direct penetration by liquids: The cable trays and cable channels must prevent any
accidental direct penetration by liquids (knocking of a cup of drink onto a work surface etc.), assessed
according to the IPxx classification
Case no. 2: Furniture equipped with electrical components assembled by the manufacturer.
First request appraisal:
‒
‒
‒
‒
‒
The company has a test carried out (by one of the specified laboratories recognised by the NF Mobilier
Professionnel mark) to establish compliance with the standards of the furniture or equipped part of the
furniture.
The company has its electrical equipment compliance control system audited by an accredited body
(such as the LCIE) (a CENELEC plant inspection report is drafted)
In the event of non-compliance, the company submits to the FCBA a retrofit plan whose implementation
shall be inspected by the FCBA auditor during his appraisal visits.
The certification is issued in view of the test and inspection reports stating compliance.
Marking: An information plate indicating the following: insulation class, level of protection, maximum
permissible power, supply voltage, number of light points, sockets and switches, precautions for use (if
required)
For maintenance of NF Mobilier Professionnel certification, the company demands that an inspection be carried
out at least once every three years by an accredited body (such as the LCIE). In case of any doubts as to system
compliance, FCBA may require additional inspections to be carried out.
10/40
DQ-CERT 16-302
Case no. 3: Furniture equipped with components that have been certified beforehand.
The NF Mobilier Professionnel mark auditor checks the following points:

That the equipment does not require any works other than for general affixing to the furniture and the
connection of the mains leads to the mains power supply.
 If two or more pieces of certified equipment are assembled within a single piece of furniture, they are not
interconnected in any way other than at the point of mains power supply.
 Protection against direct electric shocks: casing to render the live parts inaccessible
 Protection against indirect electric shocks: The cable channels and all edges that may come into contact with
the cables are softened so as not to harm the cables. The flexible cables must be removed from any traction
power exerted by a stop device provided at the point of entry of the flexible cable into the furniture and
near the connections. An earth connecting plug is provided for the metal parts of the furniture coming into
contact with the cables. This earth connecting plug is indicated by a pictogram on the furniture and specified
in the assembly instructions. The earth connection is carried out under the responsibility of the installer.
 Protection against penetration by liquids: The cable trays and cable channels must prevent any accidental
penetration by liquids (knocking of a cup of drink onto a work surface etc.), assessed according to the IP xxx
classification
 Protection against thermal effects: no part of the wiring, luminaires or support surfaces must reach a
temperature that is detrimental to personal safety (burns), insulation safety (electric shocks) and
environmental safety (fire).
 Interconnecting wiring must be permanently connected to its component or fitted with failsafe system
connectors. Beyond a low voltage transformer, these connectors can be replaced by coupling systems for
the power supply of spotlights.
 The power cable(s) must be connected to its/their component
 The casing(s) providing moisture protection must be easy to put in place and must be able to fulfil its role
effectively.
 After assembly, the furniture or element electrically equipped must be able to meet the same performance
and safety requirements as items supplied fully assembled
‒ The regulatory marking must be present on the support intended for the attachment of electrical
components.
‒ Marking: An information plate indicating the following: insulation class, level of protection, maximum
permissible power, supply voltage, number of light points, sockets and switches, precautions for use (if
required)
‒
2.2
Furniture & Chairs: Safe distances
If the grippers have an opening of between 8 and 25mm, there is a need to provide a configuration to prevent
fingers passing through. In the case of a shaped handle (e.g. circular arc), the largest distance will be taken into
account.
2.3
Wood-based panels
The wood-based panels forming part of the composition of furniture subject to certification must be defined.
All modifications must be submitted for approval by FCBA.


Particle boards, fibre boards, multi-pli, moulded chipboard etc. must have limited formaldehyde content (E1
rating as defined by standard NF EN 13986 or proven equivalent by an accredited laboratory)
2.4
Hygiene rules for restoration furniture


NF EN 71-3+A1
The published brochure of Official Journal 1227
Zones 1-2-3-4 are defined as a function of their accessibility or use by the user.
ZONE 1 - GENERAL CASE: Surrounding space other than zones 2 (proximity), zones 3 (contact) and zones 4
(power supply).


Resistance to the characteristics of NF HEALTH regulations (Requirements on finishes – all furniture types).
Particle boards, fibre boards etc. must have limited formaldehyde content (E1 rating or proven equivalent)
ZONE 2 - PROXIMITY: Space accessible to the user from its installation position. As a complement to the
regulations with regard to zone 1:


The furniture must be easy to clean and must not include any elements that retain dust or liquids
All furniture components must be immune to oxidisation
ZONE 3 - CONTACT: Any surface that enters into contact with the user under normal usage conditions.
As a complement to the regulations with regard to zones 1 and 2 and when there is a possibility of contact with
the user, the following shall be studied:

The migration of certain elements according to standard NF EN 71-3+A1
ZONE 4 - POWER SUPPLY: Any surfaces of restoration tables with which foodstuffs have come into contact, so
as to avoid any risk of microbial contamination.
As a complement to the regulations with regard to zones 1, 2 and 3:





The materials must be inert vis-à-vis foodstuffs (use of wood is limited to the list of authorised wood types
published in the brochure of Official Journal 1227)
All surfaces and their connection must be smooth and must not present any roughness or cavities that may
host organic matter
The assemblies must be designed so as to reduce protrusions, edges and recesses
Exposed screws, screw heads and rivets are forbidden, except in case of constructive necessity (in this case,

2.5.4 Process control: Periodicity of tests
Extract from quality assurance standard § Production control:
"Processes whose results cannot be checked by means of a systematic product check or for which deficiencies
only appear once the product is in use must be validated at predefined periods and on each new modification of
the process, and the influencing factors must be controlled.
The parameters for control of these processes must be defined and controlled, and the staff must be qualified"
Regulations:
1. The finish process performances (paint, varnish, adhesion etc.) concerned by this requirement are regularly
assessed using tests in the FCBA laboratory (or by an equivalent and certified laboratory):
‒ On each new modification of the finish process
‒ Regularly at least every three years.
2. If during these validation tests a compliance defect is uncovered, the holding manufacturer will have to submit
an action plan to the FCBA within a period of 15 days, for a return to compliance within a maximum period of 6
months
3. The parameters for control and recordings are regularly validated by the inspector during technical inspections
of the production site.

The fire behaviour class of chairs in 3 categories CF, C, EC originates from a recommendation by GPEM/CPD2/2000 of the Central Procurement Board. It is intended to determine the chair's capacity to catch fire. It is
intended to be applied to the entire public sector.
The tests concern upholstered chairs in their normal use presentation. Fire behaviour is characterised for a chair
in its entirety, or for a sample in accordance with the replicability rules established by the guide GPEM/CPD2/2000.
The cigarette test is carried out as a priority. The small flame test is carried out with 3 applications of 15
seconds.

Wheelchair for persons with reduced mobility
‒
‒
‒
Definition & scope
Leisure wheelchair, provided by the authorities and used by persons with reduced mobility and reserved for
parkway use making it possible to access an aquatic environment (seaside and equipped swimming pool).
General safety rules
The chair must be manufactured in such a way to avoid people being injured during use, as the manufacture
must take account of the behaviour of users, the people who take care of them and any other people.
The following requirements must in particular be abided by:
‒
‒
‒
All edges and corners must be smooth and free of burrs and sharp edges (radius ≥ 2 mm) for the directly
accessible parts.
If movement may generate a danger, the spaces between the moving parts within normal reach of fingers
must either be less than 8 mm or more than 25 mm.
The open ends of tubular elements must be fitted with a covering or be sealed off in any other way.
Determination of stability
‒
4.3.1.3.1
NF EN 13759
Rearward stability
The chair is positioned on a rigid plane with 15° slope compared to the horizontal, with rear wheels turned
towards the bottom of the sloped plane. Supports are positioned at the rear of each wheel so as to prevent the
chair from moving.
The seat is loaded by the 100kg dummy according to the following proportions taken from: NF EN 13759
Head
5%
Torso
54%
Thigh
15°
24%
34/40
DQ-CERT 16-302
Leg
17%
Requirements: The chair must not tip over.
4.3.1.3.2
Sideway stability
The chair is positioned on a sloped plane at 15° with the chair's axis perpendicular to the slope. The supports - as
small as possible - are positioned in such a way as to prevent the chair from sliding.
The seat is loaded by the 100kg dummy according to the following proportions taken from NF EN 13759
Head
5%
Torso
54%
Thigh
24%
Leg

Requirements: The chair must not tip over.
Cyclical fall test on the seat.
‒
NF EN 1728
The chair is in the normal use position.
The surface of the falling body is of diameter 300 mm and bend radius 400 mm.
The total mass of the falling body is 75 kg.
An agglo foam plate of thickness 25 mm is placed between the striking surface and chair seat.
The fall height of 60 mm is determined based on the loaded seat.
The fall point should be determined by the positioning pattern as described in NF EN 1728 §5.1.
We carry out 40,000 falls at a frequency of 15 to 20 cycles per minute
Requirements: At the end of the test, no deterioration should be observed that is susceptible to adversely affect
safety and all functions must be maintained.
35/40
DQ-CERT 16-302
Cyclic push test on the footrest.
The chair is in the normal use position.
We carry out 20,000 pushes on the footrest with a force of 750 N using a block of diameter 200 mm whose
contact surface has a bend radius of 300 mm. A foam plate of thickness 25 mm is placed between the footrest
and the contact surface of the load block.
With each cycle, the force is maintained for 2 s.
Cyclic push test on the seat back
‒
NF EN 1728
The chair is in the normal use position. The seat is placed under a load of 75 kg.
40,000 pushes are carried out at 500 N perpendicularly to the surface of the seat back at the point determined
by the positioning pattern as described in NF EN 1728 §5.1.
The load block is a rectangular object of height 200 mm and width 250 mm and whose contact surface has a
horizontal bend radius of 450 mm.
A foam plate of thickness 25 mm is placed between the footrest and the contact surface of the load block.
With each cycle, the force is maintained for 2 s.
Requirements: At the end of the test, no deterioration should be observed that is susceptible to adversely
affect safety and all functions must be maintained.
Maximum push test on the seat back
‒
NF EN 1728
The chair is in the normal use position. The seat is placed under a load of 135 kg.
We carry out a push at 750 N perpendicularly to the surface of the seat back at the point determined by the
positioning pattern as described in NF EN 1728 §5.1.
The load block is a rectangular object of height 200 mm and width 250 mm and whose contact surface has a
horizontal bend radius of 450 mm
A foam plate of thickness 25 mm is placed between the footrest and the contact surface of the load block.
The force is maintained for 30 s.
36/40
DQ-CERT 16-302
Impact test on the seat back
The chair is in normal use position on level and horizontal ground and kept on supports to avoid any movement.
The seat is placed under a load of 135 kg.
Using a PVC fender of diameter 400 mm, filled with water and of mass 30 kg, we produce an impact from a
height of 135 mm at the top of the seat back towards the rear.
Static load test on the push bar
The seat is placed under a load of 135 kg.
We carry out 10 pushes at 400 N on the end of the push bar.
The force is maintained for 10 s in each cycle.
Static load test on the structural tubes
The seat has no load.
We carry out 10 pushes at 950 N on one of the structural bars at the point considered to be the least favourable.
The force is maintained for 10 s in each cycle.
Rolling test
4.3.1.11.1
Rolling test under load
The chair is in the normal use position on a test floor that is hard, smooth and horizontal. It is loaded with the
articulated dummy of mass 95 kg used for the stability tests.
The test floor is equipped with obstacles of width 80 mm and thickness 20 mm including a radius of 20 mm.
The obstacles are positioned perpendicularly to the moving of the chair on the course of each wheel.
37/40
DQ-CERT 16-302
To avoid the rear wheels going over an obstacle together, an interval of
300 mm is respected between each of the obstacles that have to be cleared by the rear wheels.
In each cycle, the wheels have to clear 2 obstacles.
We produce 10,000 cycles at a frequency of 10 cycles a minute.
At 5,000 cycles, with the chair in its start position, we carry out a 180° rotation of each wheel.
4.3.1.11.2
Rolling test with overload
The chair is in the normal use position on a test floor that is hard, smooth and horizontal. It is loaded with the
articulated dummy of mass 135 kg used for the stability tests.
The test floor is equipped with obstacles of width 80 mm and thickness 20 mm including a radius of 20 mm.
The obstacles are positioned perpendicularly to the moving of the chair on the course of each wheel.
To avoid the rear wheels going over an obstacle together, an interval of
300 mm is respected between each of the obstacles that have to be cleared by the rear wheels.
In each cycle, the wheels have to clear 2 obstacles.
We produce 10 cycles.
