KM Furniture EN1729

For many years the children in our schools have been seated on a variety of Polypropylene or Wooden chairs, which are manufactured in different styles and sizes. Provided these chairs pass British Standards for strength, stability and safety they are welcomed into our classrooms.

 

Each manufacturer has their own agenda for their chairs. Some are manufactured to a price, some to a style and others to a best value compromise.

 

However, none have been manufactured to a European Standard that first and foremost sets out to encourage good posture for our children.

 

EN 1729 Part 1 is the standard drawn up by the Technical Committee for Europe, CEN/TC207, which now sets chair dimensions, heights, angles and back support contact points for every age group - so as toencourage good posture.

 

Good posture not only means our children will be healthier – it also means that they should be more comfortable – and therefore more attentive in class.

 

EN1729 Part 1 supersedes all other standards for chairs used in our classrooms and is the standard to look for. The KM P7 Chair is the first one piece Polypropylene chair which has attained EN1729 Part 1 & 2 Certification.

 

Unlike the the P7's competitors it is the only EN1729 Part 1 and Part 2 compliant chair which is made in the UK in all six european standard sizemarks, other chairs even though are mainly sold in the UK by British companies are directly imported from far eastern countries, and therefore have a high Carbon Footprint.

 

The benefit of one piece Polypropylene chairs is well documented in terms of their longevity [10 year warranty], comfort and safety in the classroom. With no screws for practical jokers to remove, no sharp edges to cause damage, a super strong steel frame with an epoxy powder coating and full EN1729 Certification.

 

Many chairs will pass EN1729 Part 2 as this only applies to strength and replaces BS4875. The KM P7 Chair conforms to Part 1 which is based on design for posture.

 

The KM P7 Chair is the only chair to offer our children and schools the best of everything.
