Overview
EN 12727:2016 - published by CEN - sets European requirements for the safety, structural strength and durability of ranked seating that is permanently fastened to the floor and/or wall (bench or individual-seat installations). The standard covers design safeguards, test regimes and documentation for fixed seating used in public and institutional buildings. It excludes linked seating not fixed to floor/walls, street furniture, and does not address ageing, flammability, ambient temperature effects or upholstery material durability.
Key Topics and Requirements
- Scope and applicability
- Applies to fixed ranked seating; bench or individual seats permanently fastened to floor and/or wall.
- Excludes linked non-fixed seating and street furniture.
- Safety design
- Minimize injury risks: rounded/chamfered accessible edges, no burrs or sharp edges, capped ends of hollow components where required.
- Movable/adjustable parts must prevent inadvertent operation and user injury.
- No unintended loosening of load-bearing parts; lubricated parts must prevent user staining.
- Shear and squeeze point control
- Defines accessible parts and prohibited shear/squeeze gaps (critical ranges) during normal use and when powered mechanisms are present.
- Some shear/squeeze points during setting up/folding are acceptable if user control is assumed.
- Strength and durability testing
- Test methods reference EN 1728:2012 (seating test methods).
- Includes a structured test sequence: static loads (seat, seat front edge, back rest), combined seat/back durability, impact tests (seat, back, armrests), armrest load and durability, tipping seat operation, and auxiliary writing surface tests.
- Test severity is defined in four levels (1–4) with specified loads and cycle counts.

Die Norm SIST EN 12727:2017 legt umfassende Anforderungen für Sitzmöbel mit rangierter Sitzgelegenheit fest, die dauerhaft am Boden und/oder an Wänden befestigt sind. Diese europäische Norm ist von zentraler Bedeutung für Hersteller und Anbieter von Möbeln, da sie sicherstellt, dass diese Produkte sowohl in Bezug auf Sicherheit als auch auf strukturelle Festigkeit und Haltbarkeit den geforderten Standards entsprechen. Die Stärken dieser Norm liegen in ihrer klaren Definition des Anwendungsbereichs, der es ermöglicht, die Anforderungen spezifisch auf die verschiedenen Arten von Sitzgelegenheiten anzuwenden. Insbesondere wird durch die Festlegung von Anforderungen zur Sicherheit und Stabilität sichergestellt, dass Nutzer vor möglichen Gefahren geschützt sind. Die Norm umfasst sowohl Bänke als auch individuelle Sitzmöglichkeiten, was ihren Anwendungsbereich erheblich erweitert und eine Vielzahl von Umgebungen abdeckt, in denen solche Möbelstücke eingesetzt werden können. Die zusätzlichen Testmethoden im Anhang A bieten weiterführende Richtlinien zur Durchführung von Prüfungen, um die Sicherheit und Langlebigkeit dieser Produkte zu gewährleisten. Diese normativen zusätzlichen Testverfahren stärken die Kompetenz der Hersteller, Produkte zu entwickeln und anzubieten, die den europäischen Sicherheitsstandards entsprechen. Anhang B liefert informative Einblicke in die Testschwere in Relation zur Anwendung, was eine praxisnahe Orientierung für die Hersteller bietet. Eine wesentliche Relevanz der Norm ergibt sich aus der Tatsache, dass sie nicht nur für die Herstellung von Sitzmöbeln wichtig ist, sondern auch für deren Zulassung in öffentlichen und gewerblichen Einrichtungen. Dies fördert das Vertrauen der Verbraucher in die Sicherheit und Qualität von Möbeln, die in stark frequentierten Bereichen eingesetzt werden. Es ist jedoch zu beachten, dass die Norm nicht für verbundenes Mobiliar gilt, das nicht fest am Boden oder an den Wänden befestigt ist, noch schließt sie Anforderungen an die Beständigkeit gegen Alterung, Abbau, Entflammbarkeit, temperaturempfindliche Wirkungen oder die Haltbarkeit von Polstermaterialien ein. Diese Einschränkungen sollten in der Designsprache und -umsetzung berücksichtigt werden, um vollständige Transparenz für die Kunden zu gewährleisten. Insgesamt bietet die SIST EN 12727:2017 eine solide Grundlage für die Sicherheit, Festigkeit und Haltbarkeit von Sitzmöbeln und stellt sicher, dass alle relevanten Faktoren berücksichtigt werden, um sowohl Hersteller als auch Verbraucher bestmöglich zu unterstützen.
SIST EN 12727:2017は、家具に関する重要な欧州規格であり、ランク付き座席の安全性、構造的強度、および耐久性に関する要件を明確に定義しています。この標準は、床や壁に永続的に固定されているすべてのタイプの座席に適用されますが、ベンチ形式または個別の座席形式に限りません。具体的に述べると、この標準は、最終ユーザーに対して安全で耐久性のある家具を提供するための必須要件を網羅しています。 本規格の強みは、実際に使用される環境において座席の性能を保証するための具体的な基準を提供している点にあります。特に、構造的強度や耐久性に関する要件は、安全性を最優先に考慮して設計されており、使用者が安心して利用できる家具の設計・製造に寄与します。また、附属書Aにおいて提供される追加試験方法は、基準の信頼性を高め、さまざまな使用条件における製品性能を確認するための有用な手段です。 しかし、この標準は、床や壁に固定されていないリンク式座席や街の家具には適用されないことを明示しています。また、劣化、可燃性、環境温度の影響、裏地材料の耐久性に関する要件は含まれていないため、これらの側面に関しては他の規格や基準を参照する必要があります。この点を理解することが、製品開発において重要です。 全体として、SIST EN 12727:2017は、家具業界にとって価値のある規格であり、特にランク付き座席に関して安全性と耐久性を確保するための優れた基盤を提供しています。この標準は、製品の信頼性を確立するために必要不可欠な要素であり、使用者の期待に応えるための指針として機能します。
The SIST EN 12727:2017 standard is a significant document that provides comprehensive requirements for the safety, strength, and durability of ranked seating. Its scope is explicitly defined, applying to all types of seating that are permanently fastened to the floor and/or wall, whether in bench or individual seat formats. This clear delineation ensures that manufacturers, designers, and builders have a solid framework to follow when creating safe and durable seating solutions for various environments. One of the strengths of this standard lies in its rigorous approach to safety and structural integrity. By outlining specific requirements, the standard helps to mitigate risks associated with seating, ensuring that products can withstand the stresses and strains of daily use. This is especially crucial in public spaces, such as auditoriums, waiting areas, and educational institutions, where the safety of users is paramount. Moreover, the inclusion of two annexes adds depth to the standard. Annex A provides normative additional test methods that can be employed to evaluate the performance of seating, facilitating a more comprehensive assessment of strength and safety. Meanwhile, Annex B offers informative guidance on test severity in relation to application, which aids manufacturers in understanding how to tailor their products to the environments in which they will be used. While the standard does not address certain factors like resistance to ageing, degradation, flammability, the effects of ambient temperature, or the durability of upholstery materials, its focused approach allows for a more in-depth examination of critical concerns surrounding safety and structural resilience. This specialization makes the SIST EN 12727:2017 particularly relevant for stakeholders in the furniture industry who prioritize these aspects. Overall, SIST EN 12727:2017 serves as a valuable benchmark for evaluating ranked seating, making it an indispensable reference for ensuring compliance and enhancing product quality in a competitive marketplace. Its specific focus on safety, structural strength, and durability underscores the importance of these elements in the design and construction of permanent seating solutions.
