In general, the acquisition of a furniture is made mainly in function of the visual appearance and of the durability of the product. However, a furniture that seems aesthetic pleasant, can present inadequacies to its function, that happens for not being projected in agreement with the due ergonomic patterns. To the furniture present ergonomic quality, should have norms that regulate its minimum characteristics, seeking to adapt the product to the users needs. And to evaluate if this product is in agreement with the established norms, an evaluation of the conformity is accomplished, seeking to the best quality of furniture and consequently it turns them more competitive in the market. This work had a general objective to accomplish an ergonomic evaluation of residential furniture to subsidize the definition of conformity criteria for the furniture industry of Ubá-MG. For that has been used some material originated from 50 industries of furniture associated to INTERSIND. To the whole work were appraised 107 mounted furnitures, being 31 wardrobes, 21 beds, 15 chairs, 14 dining tables and 26 sofas. The criteria of ergonomic conformity were appraised for each line of manufactured furniture, according to the ergonomic anthropometrical principles and based on aspects of safety for the user. Were also made interviews with owners of stores that sell furniture of the factories associated to INTERSIND with the objective of take the advantages and disadvantages that the furniture presents. It was still accomplished by research with people responsible to projects furniture with the objective of identify the criteria adopted by them in the determination of the dimensions of the furniture that they project. The main results of this work pointed out that the bed is the main furniture manufactured by the associated of INTERSIND. The pattern mahogany and ivory prevail in this furniture industry. The agglomerate followed by MDF is the material more used in the furniture s production in the furniture industry of Ubá. The use of woven clear to cover sofas and chairs was also shown predominant. The analyzed sofas were presented in conformity with the recommendations of NBR 15164/2004 in relation to the prop height, the width and the useful depth of seat. However, in relation to the seat s height, all the sofas were not in conformity with this norm, once they presented superior values to the maxim recommended. Although most of the beds didn't assist to the recommendation of ABIMÓVEL (2003) in relation to the height of the superior face of the bed frame to the floor, in a general way they were in conformity with the recommendations of this entity in relation to the internal dimensions and thickness of the lateral bars. Most of the analyzed wardrobes didn't assist the recommendations of ABIMÓVEL (2003) in relation to the depth interns, empty spaces free from the place to put shirts, pants and as the internal dimensions of drawers. All the seats of the chairs presented superior heights to the maxims recommended by authors and the ones related with anthropometrical values that had been given, could cause matter waste and problems of ergonomic order in the users. Most of the tables analyzed also presented superior heights to the recommended by authors. In this way the results demonstrated that in general, ergonomic aspects, as comfort, anthropometric adaptation, functionality and safety are not being prioritized in furniture projects manufactured in the furniture industry of Ubá and area.
