Are executive desks rated to any furniture safety standards?

Yes — commercial executive desks from reputable manufacturers are tested to ANSI/BIFMA X5.5 (desk products) and sometimes ANSI/BIFMA X5.1 (general office seating, for chair height compatibility). These tests verify structural integrity under specified loads, tip-over resistance for open drawers, and drawer slide durability over thousands of cycles. Look for BIFMA certification documentation when evaluating executive desks, particularly if they'll be used in commercial applications subject to liability concerns.
