Furniture - Operating mechanisms for seating and sofa-beds - Test methods

This European Standard specifies test methods for the determination of the durability of hand and power operated reclining mechanisms for adult seating.
It also specifies test methods for the determination of the durability of mechanisms for converting sofas and chairs into beds.
The test methods are based on use by a person weighing up to 110 kg.
Requirements for the durability of reclining mechanisms are not included within this standard.
Test methods for strength and durability of the structure are not included.
It does not apply to the safety of electrically driven seating which is covered by the machinery, low voltage and EMC directives.
It does not apply to tilting and reclining mechanisms fitted to work chairs.

Möbel - Funktionsmechaniken für Sitzmöbel und Liegesofas - Prüfverfahren

Diese Europäische Norm legt Prüfverfahren für hand- und motorbetriebene Wipp-Mechaniken an Sitzmöbeln für Erwachsene fest. Diese Europäische Norm legt auch Prüfverfahren für die Bestimmung der Dauerhaltbarkeit der Mechaniken von Liegesofas und -sesseln fest. Die Prüfungen beruhen auf dem Gebrauch durch Personen mit einem Körpergewicht bis zu 110 kg. Anforderungen an die Dauerhaltbarkeit der Wipp-Mechaniken sind in dieser Norm nicht enthalten. Prüfverfahren für die Festigkeit und Dauerhaltbarkeit des Gestelles sind nicht enthalten. Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für die Sicherheit von elektrisch betriebenen Sitzmöbeln, die unter die Maschinenrichtlinie, Niederspannungsrichtlinie und Elektromagnetische Verträglichkeits-Richtlinie (EMV) fallen. Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für Neige- und Wipp-Mechaniken an Arbeitsstühlen.

Meubles - Mécanismes de manoeuvre des sièges et des canapés - Méthodes d'essai

La présente Norme européenne spécifie des méthodes d’essai permettant de déterminer la durabilité des
mécanismes d’inclinaison manuels ou électriques équipant les sièges pour adultes.
Elle prescrit également des méthodes d’essai pour la détermination de la durabilité des mécanismes
permettant de convertir en lits des canapés et des sièges.
Les méthodes d’essai sont basées sur l’utilisation par une personne dont la masse est au plus de 110 kg.
Les exigences de durabilité des mécanismes d’inclinaison ne sont pas incluses dans cette norme.
Les méthodes d’essai de résistance et de durabilité de la structure ne sont pas incluses.
La présente norme ne s’applique pas à la sécurité des sièges électriques qui sont traités dans les Directives
machines, basse tension et CEM.
Elle ne s’applique pas aux mécanismes de basculement et d’inclinaison équipant les sièges de travail.

Pohištvo - Mehanizem za sestavljanje in razstavljanje sedežnega pohištva in zložljivih postelj - Preskusne metode

Ta evropski standard določa preskusne metode, s katerimi se ugotavlja vzdržljivost ročnih in samodejnih mehanizmov za prilagajanje naklona sedežev za odrasle. Določa tudi preskusne metode, s katerimi se ugotavlja vzdržljivost mehanizmov za raztegovanje kavčev in naslonjačev v postelje. Preskusne metode upoštevajo težo oseb do 110 kg. Ta standard ne vključuje zahtev za vzdržljivost mehanizmov za prilagajanje naklona. Preskusne metode za vzdržljivost in trajnost strukture niso vključene. Standard ne velja za varnost električno upravljanih sedežev, ki jih pokrivajo direktive o strojih, nizki napetosti in elektromagnetni združljivosti (EMC).
