This European Standard specifies test methods for the verification of the loading capacity of all types of wall attachment devices for storage furniture and their components.
It does not apply to devices intended to prevent the overturning of storage furniture.
The tests consist of the application of loads and forces simulating normal functional use, as well as misuse that might reasonably be expected to occur.
With the exception of the corrosion test in 6.3, the tests are designed to evaluat...view more

To develop a standard or technical report describing a method to assess the surface damage after carrying out tests intended for furniture surfaces. This visual assessment will be used to evaluate the results from these tests and will be introduced in the appropriate standards by a reference to the new technical report or standard.

This document defines visual assessment procedures for the appearance of furniture surfaces with regard to surface defects and colour and gloss variations.
It is not applicable to constructive features or geometric dimensions, e.g. parallelism of edges.
This standard is applicable to all furniture surfaces except textile and leather surfaces.
It applies to the incoming and outgoing goods inspections, as well as local assessments.

This European Standard specifies safety requirements for children's cots for domestic use with an
internal length greater than 900 mm but not more than 1 400 mm.
The requirements apply to a cot that is fully assembled and ready for use.
For cots that can be converted into other items e.g. changing units, playpens additional requirements
can apply.
This European Standard does not apply to carry cots, cribs and cradles for which a separate European
standard exists.

This European Standard specifies safety, strength and durability requirements for office work chairs.
It does not apply to other seating in the office area for which other EN standards exist (EN 16139).
The requirements are based upon use for 8 h a day by persons weighing up to 110 kg. For more severe conditions of use, increased requirements will be necessary.
Annex A (informative) contains additional functional tests.
