Has anyone come across this. Do you purchase your office furniture to this standard?
A company doing an office refurbishment with our company has told us all office furniture we purchase has to meet the S Rating.
I had never come across this before. In my studying nothing. 5 legged chairs, lumbar support, adjustable height yes.
Anyone give us a clue on this one? Should I be chucking out all my furniture?

Frighten them to death and ask them for their safety policy, risk assessments and the like!

The 'S' rating refers to severe use in the testing of office chairs to BS 5459-2: 2000. For further details visit FIRA (Furniture Industry Research Association) on their web site at www.fira.co.uk and search the BS number.
Don't panic and throw out your existing chairs but be mindful, as part of any fire risk assessment, of replacing any chairs that have exposed foam due to worn covers
Regards
