A particularly important criterion for the quality of stadium seats is their stability. The manufacturer insitual, a trademark of Daplast, informs below about its developments and test procedures in this statement:
Vandal proof stadium seats are a must to ensure spectators safety in the grandstands of any kind of sports venue. Sport brings out emotions, both good and not so good. It is essential that the sports equipment withstands any situation that happens in the sports venue.European Standards establish the requirements for safety, strength, and durability (UNE-EN 13200-4) that seats must fulfil in order to be certified suitable for severe public use (vandalism). Vandal proof stadium seats are tested during various stages, from product development to final production, before being installed in sports venues, fulfilling different phases:
We carry out multitude of tests to ensure that our seats meet the European standards required by UNE-EN 12727 (static load, durability, and impact tests), through the precise application of large forces during certain cycles of time.
In the video you can see part of our laboratory, carrying out durability and strength tests on the Sittem seat, and applying impacts to CR6 backrest. In this way, the seats for sports facilities continue to fulfill their function even under extreme use. We thus ensure the durability of the seat, regardless of the material used and the manufacturing process.

These tests are not contemplated in the regulations, but we have made them as a visual example of the impacts and forces that our stadium seats can withstand, thanks to the fact that they have been designed in accordance with the Standards and have passed the tests of resistance to vandalism. All our seats are certified in resistance and durability by accredited external laboratories in accordance with current regulations. (STADIAWORLD, 06.04.2022)
