gas lift tÜv gas lift TUV Explanation: Look at the second example on the page referenced. The gas lift refers to the way the seat suspension works, gas in the support to the stool means it sinks down slightly when you sit on it and is adjustable. TUV seems to refer to it being tested by the German institute, meaning it's covered by a safety standard. Reference: http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/TUV |
