Shanghai Office Chair Testing

Admin October 19, 2026

There are several institutions in Shanghai that can conduct office chair testing. Here are the specific introductions:

National Furniture Quality Inspection and Testing Center: This center is affiliated with the Shanghai Institute of Quality Inspection and Technical Research and holds authority and professionalism in the field of furniture testing. It can conduct comprehensive inspections of furniture and raw and auxiliary materials, with a wide range of authorized testing scopes covering various furniture products, including office furniture. The testing indicators are diverse, including appearance testing, which can check whether the surface of the office chair is flat, free of defects, and uniformly colored; physical and chemical testing, which can analyze the physical and chemical properties of the materials used in the office chair, such as the moisture content of wood and the corrosion resistance of metals; mechanical testing, which can test the load-bearing capacity and structural stability of the office chair; and testing for harmful substances, which can detect whether the office chair contains harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene, ensuring the health and safety of users. It involves nearly 300 testing standards, providing a comprehensive and rigorous evaluation basis for the quality of office chairs.

Shanghai Kesheng Technology Co., Ltd.: Specializes in one-stop testing for the stability of office chairs and the durability of casters. In terms of stability testing, it simulates the critical point of imbalance during real-world use, divided into static stability and dynamic stability testing. Static stability testing mainly examines the anti-tipping ability of the office chair in a stationary state, while dynamic stability testing simulates the stability of the office chair during shaking and movement during use. Caster durability testing simulates the rolling friction and impact loads during long-term pushing, with clear judgment criteria and corresponding requirements for the testing environment and sample pre-treatment to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results.

Shanghai Biaojian Product Testing Co., Ltd.: Can conduct EN 1022 & EN 581 seat testing, including the determination of the stability of home furniture - seats, and offers more testing items for customers to choose from. This company is a product testing institution invested in and established by the Hong Kong Standards and Testing Centre. Its service scope covers the testing and certification of furniture and household items, as well as consulting on product testing technologies. With its professional testing techniques and rich experience, it can provide office chairs with testing services that comply with international standards.
