What is NPR 1813?
To make ergonomics a high priority in a work environment, guidelines have been drawn up that office furniture, and particularly office chairs, must meet. The guidelines are designed to optimally support all employees during work. NPR-1813 office chairs therefore meet strict ergonomic requirements so that they can offer comfortable and healthy support for everyone.
What requirements must an NPR-1813 office chair meet?
NPR-1813 office chairs must meet strict specifications before they can be certified. A first important requirement is that the chair is adjustable to different heights, both the backrest and the seat. The lumbar support and armrests must also be adjustable to the employee's wishes. A second requirement for NPR-1813 office chairs is that they must have a synchronized mechanism that contributes to an active sitting posture. Through this mechanism, the seat and backrest move in a fixed ratio. Another requirement for these office chairs is that they are made of durable material and thus have a long lifespan. Materials such as cold foam and wear-resistant fabrics are therefore often used for NPR-1813 office chairs. A final requirement is that the chair has an anti-rebound mechanism and the possibility to block the seat in different positions as a safety requirement.

Frequently asked questions

Which of the two standards is more suitable for Dutch people and why?
The European standards are tailored to the average European, while NPR-1813 is tailored to 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 match Dutch sizes.

What is the average cost of an NPR-1813 office chair?
NPR-1813 chairs cost between €500 and €1000 on average. Depending on the model and brand you choose, the price varies. Furthermore, material and the number of extra features also play a role in the price.
Does BNR Kantoor also have budget office chairs in its assortment?
There are also budget-friendly office chairs at BNR Kantoor. These chairs do not meet the NPR requirements but are a good balance between ergonomics and price.
When is it better to choose mesh backrests?
It is better to choose a mesh backrest if you work in an environment where ventilation is important. Mesh backrests provide good air circulation to reduce perspiration.
