Office Chair Inspection Record

The office chair inspection record should cover aspects such as appearance, structure, functionality, materials, safety, and packaging and transportation, as detailed below:

Appearance Inspection The surface of the office chair should be flat and smooth, free from scratches, cracks, or fading, with no significant overall deformation. For example, the inspection record explicitly states “surface is flat with no scratches,” which serves as a fundamental indicator for determining whether the chair meets quality standards. If coating peeling or color differences are found, they should be recorded and reported.

Structural Stability Inspection The chair's structure must be stable, without any looseness or tilting. During inspection, focus on checking the connections between the base and legs, as well as the fixing methods of the backrest and seat, to ensure there is no wobbling. For instance, the inspection record mentions “the base is stable,” indicating that the chair can maintain balance under static loads, thereby avoiding the risk of tipping over during use.

Functionality Inspection The functionality should meet design requirements, including smooth rotation of the chair wheels and smooth operation of adjustment mechanisms (such as height and tilt adjustments). For example, the inspection record points out that “the chair wheels rotate flexibly with no abnormal noise,” indicating good performance during dynamic use. If there are issues such as stuck armrest adjustments or jammed chair wheels, specific problems should be recorded.

Material Inspection The materials must comply with national environmental protection standards and be free from inferior or harmful substances. For example, the EN 1335-2 standard requires independent strength testing of core components such as the seat and backrest to ensure material durability. If the chair uses recycled plastics or panels with excessive formaldehyde content, this should be clearly indicated in the inspection.

Safety Inspection It must comply with national safety standards, with a focus on load-bearing capacity and structural safety. For example, the EN 1335-2 test simulates long-term repeated loads to evaluate the chair's durability under extreme conditions. If the chair is rated to bear 100 kg but the base breaks during testing, it is deemed unqualified.

Packaging and Transportation Inspection The packaging should be intact and undamaged, and the chair should be protected from severe vibrations during transportation. For example, although the inspection record may not directly mention packaging, if the chair arrives with scratches or detached parts, the transportation process should be traced to identify issues and ensure improvements for subsequent batches.

Special Inspection References

• Armrest Fatigue Test: Use professional equipment to simulate daily stress and evaluate structural strength and material durability. If the armrest of a particular chair model breaks after 50,000 cycles of testing, the specific model and issue should be recorded.
• European Standard (EN 1335-2): The testing environment should be standardized (e.g., temperature and humidity control), and the chair being tested should be in a “marketable condition” to ensure that the results accurately reflect user scenarios.

Through systematic inspection, the quality of office chairs can be comprehensively evaluated, providing a basis for procurement decisions.
