Test Procedures
BIFMA X5.1 Clause 17 (Front Load Test/Side Load Test)
Functional Load Test/Proof Load Test: A force of 334 N (75 lbf.) shall be applied once to each front leg individually for one (1) minute. Remove the force.
Proof Load Test: Similar with functional load test, but the force is 503 N (113 lbf)
BIFMA X5.1 Clause 12 (Arm Strength Test - Vertical - Static)
Functional Load: A force of 750 N (169 lbf.) shall be applied for one (1) minute. Remove the force.
Proof Load: A force of 1125 N (253 lbf.) shall be applied for one (1) minute. Remove the force.
BIFMA X5.1 Clause 13 (Arm Strength Test - Horizontal - Static)
Functional Load: A force of 445 N (100 lbf.) shall be applied for one (1) minute in the outward direction. Remove the force.
Proof Load: A force of 667 N (150 lbf.) shall be applied for one (1) minute in the outward direction. Remove the force.
BIFMA X5.1 Clause 20 (Arm Durability Test - Cyclic)
Test Procedure: Simultaneously apply a force of 400 N (90 lbf.) to each arm initially at a 10 degrees ± 1 degree angle as shown in Figure 20b. The arm loading device must follow the arm (allow fore and aft, side-to-side and rotational movement) as it deflects or pivots. If using a test device similar to that shown in Figure 20b, the load application distance must initially be the length specified in the figure. Other methods of applying the load are acceptable if the force and angle applications are equivalent. The force shall be applied and removed for 60,000 cycles at a rate between 10 and 30 cycles per minute.
