BIFMA

BIFMA is the Association for Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturer’s, an American-based organisation running since 1973 to provide standards for commercial furniture.

BIFMA is accredited by, and their standards conforming to, requirements by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The BIFMA Engineering Committee develops the standards and continually drafts and revises new protocols for manufacturers to follow. The BIFMA standards are to provide manufacturer’s and users with a common basis for evaluating safety, durability, stability and structural quality of specified furniture.
