1 page 1/6 and Verification Center Article: requested by: Neolite, armrests sledge Jan Jismyr Material AB Tranås Sweden s are carried out according to standard: Discrepancies: Result and observations: EN 16139:2013, test severity level 1 None The sample submitted for test fulfils the requirements in above mentioned standards. Tolerance: Measurement: Report: Where t especially specified, the stated test result has a tolerance value within directions for each standard. All measurements are in mm unless stated otherwise. Where t especially specified, the measurement uncertainty is from a general point of view within the above tolerance values. For example: Mass <+/- 0,5 %, Force <+/- 5%, Linear measure, unloaded furniture +/- 1mm, Linear measure, loaded seating furniture +/- 2 mm. This report relates to sample submitted for test and other. The report may t be reproduced other than in full, except with the prior written approval of the issuing laboratory.

Example of end-use: All kind of applications in office buildings, showrooms, public halls, function rooms, cafés, restaurants, canteens, banks, bars. Areas in which seating is occasionally or repeatedly subject to extremely high loads due to their specific types of use or doe to improper use. Examples of end-use: Night -clubs, police stations, transport terminals, sport changing rooms, prisons, barracks (n-controlled areas). It should be ted that some end uses may be covered by more than one requirement depending on the severity of the expected use. This applies particularly to furniture in nursing homes and public areas in hospitals. These types of furniture are subject to test severity L1. But for seating fulfilling the requirements Seating which may be moved when occupied, the test Vertical upwards static load on arm rests in accordance with Table 1 ( 7) should be carried out with test severity L2.
