The mainstream safety certifications for gaming chair gas lifts fall into the following categories:
Certifications from authoritative international bodies
- SGS Certification: Issued by SGS (Société Générale de Surveillance), this is a key benchmark for gas lift safety, verifying that performance metrics-such as lifting and rotation durability-meet required standards.
- TÜV Certification: A top-tier safety certification from TÜV (Technischer Überwachungsverein/Technical Inspection Association) in Germany; gas lifts with this certification can withstand 120,000 trouble-free lift cycles, demonstrating an exceptionally high safety margin.
- BIFMA Certification: A globally recognized furniture safety standard established by the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association (USA); it serves as a fundamental compliance certification for gas lift performance.
Regional compliance certifications
- EN1335 Certification: An EU safety standard for office furniture; compliance is mandatory for gaming chair gas lifts exported to the European market.
- Safety grade classifications
- Gas lifts are categorized into four quality grades, ranging from Class 1 to Class 4. Classes 3 and 4 are the mainstream choices for safety; higher grades feature thicker cylinder walls and superior safety performance. Legitimate products will display the grade and certification marks stamped directly onto the gas lift cylinder.
