What is NEN EN 1335?
A good office chair is crucial for your health and productivity. NEN-EN 1335 office chairs are designed to meet high ergonomic standards, ensuring optimal comfort. These standards were developed to provide a suitable office chair for a wide range of users, offering both comfort and ergonomic benefits. The NEN-EN 1335 standard covers requirements for dimensions and specifications, safety requirements and test methods, and strength and durability.
What requirements must an EN 1335 office chair meet?
An EN 1335 chair must meet several requirements. A key requirement, for example, is that the office chairs must be adjustable in multiple ways. You must be able to adjust the backrest, and the seat angle must be adjustable. This allows you to adapt the chair to your body type. The EN 1335 office chair must also have specific dimensions to guarantee an ergonomic posture. These specific dimensions apply to the seat, backrest, and armrests, for instance. A final important requirement concerns the safety and stability of the office chair. The chair must not easily tip over and must therefore pass stability tests.

Different base materials
The base of an office chair can also vary in material, with the difference lying in the durability and appearance of the base.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between NEN-EN1335 and NPR-1813?
The NPR-1813 Dutch practical guidelines are stricter than the requirements set by NEN-EN1335, the European guidelines. The NPR office chairs are designed to support various body sizes. For this reason, NPR chairs are often more comprehensive and versatile in their adjustability.
Why are office chairs with the EN 1335 standard less suitable for some Dutch people than those with the NPR-1813 standard?
The European standards are based on the average European, while the NPR-1813 is tailored for Dutch people. For example, Dutch people are on average taller than the rest of Europe, which is why these types of office chairs often better suit Dutch measurements. Due to their extensive adjustment options, NPR-1813 chairs also fit almost everyone, regardless of height or build.
When is it better to choose mesh as a material for the backrest?
Mesh backrests are especially recommended for warm office environments because the mesh provides better ventilation and air circulation. This results in less perspiration during long office hours, making a mesh backrest more comfortable in warm conditions.
What is the most luxurious and comfortable EN 1335 office chair in the BNR Kantoor range?
The most luxurious and comfortable EN 1335 model chair offered by BNR Kantoor is the Se7en LX282. This chair is equipped with various adjustment options and is made of high-quality material for maximum comfort.
