TITAN

2

For many years the children in our schools have been seated on a variety of polypropylene or wooden chairs,which are manu-factured in different styles and sizes. Provided these chairs are strong and safe, they have been welcomed into our classrooms.

Each chair manufacturer has their own agenda for their chairs,some are manufactured to a price, some to a style and others to a best value com-promise.

The Titan chair was designed & man-ufactured to comply with the new EN1729 European standards (Parts 1 and 2) for school furniture, for which it holds current certification.

EN1729 is the standard being adopted in a growing number of Countries and although it does not replace any existing Australia/NZ standards, it is perceived as a more complete and updated standard.

Part 1This European Standard is based on the principle that chairs and tables,intended for use in educational institutions for general-purpose edu-cation, should be designed to encour-age good posture.

While EN1729 is not the current standard in Australia it does represent the latest and best thinking by educa-tors and professional ergonomists throughout the world. Based on over ten years collection of anthropomet-ric data; i.e. measuring the changing sizes of school students. EN1729 for the first time combines both physi-cal measurements with ergonomic recommendations. For instance it is the only standard which insists on a lumbar support being designed into the chair at a given posit ion. It also defines a set of colour codes for size ranges which al lows students to understand which size ( coloured Titan logo) is the best

f it for them. It does not specify design,but only those dimensions which promote good posture for either f ixed height or adjustable furniture.

The need for ergonomic design in the office has been well established for many years and has been well justified on the basis of improved productivity. Thus it is surprising that only now are the same concepts being embraced for students. In many ways the needs in schools and colleges are much greater than in the typical office envi-ronment. Students have a wide vari-ability of body sizes, the need to adopt fixed postures for prolonged times and yet have growing and developing musculo-skeletal frames which need the best of ergonomics.

Part 2Specifies safety requirements and test methods.
