BIFMA/SOHO S 6.5:2008 (R2013)

This standard is intended to provide a common basis of mechanical tests for evaluating the safety, durability, and structural adequacy of storage and desk-type furniture intended for use in the small office and/or home office. The styling, marketing and chain of distribution for these products are intended to address usage in a residential, home office or small office environment. These products may be completely assembled, partly assembled or totally unassembled (often known as RTA or 'ready to assemble'), when they leave the control of the manufacturer. These partly assembled and RTA products are designed to be assembled by the end user.
