Office furniture - Storage furniture - Part 2: Safety requirements

This document specifies safety requirements for office storage furniture.
This document does not apply to high density mechanized filing systems, rotary filing systems or plan files.
It should be understood that fulfilling the specified requirements does not ensure that failure will not occur as a result of habitual misuse or after an excessively long period of service.
Safety depending on structure of the building is not included e.g.: the strength of wall hanging cabinets includes only the cabinet and its parts. The wall and wall attachment are not included.
Assessment of ageing is not included.

Büromöbel - Büroschränke - Teil 2: Sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen

Diese Europäische Norm legt sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen an Büroschränke fest.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für mechanisierte Aktenschränke, Karussellaktenschränke oder Planschränke.
Es sollte bewusst sein, dass auch bei Einhaltung der festgelegten Anforderungen ein Versagen durch groben Missbrauch oder eine überlange Nutzungszeit nicht ausgeschlossen ist.
Nicht eingeschlossen sind Sicherheitsaspekte, die von der Konstruktion des Gebäudes abhängig sind, so bezieht sich zum Beispiel die Festigkeit bei wandmontierten Schränken, nur auf den Büroschrank und seine Teile. Die Wand und die Wandbefestigung sind nicht eingeschlossen.
Die Beurteilung der Alterung ist nicht enthalten.

The following safety requirements are based upon the knowledge that office storage furniture and its parts are likely to cause injury only when they are heavy and fall through a significant distance.
This is possible if floor standing units overbalance, wall or screen mounted units become detached, or heavy parts become detached from units. Therefore, the test sequence and the safety requirements specified in clause 3.5 and 3.6 are applicable:  When the height of the centre of gravity of the unit, or any part is > 650mm above the floor and the total mass is > 10kg  When the potential energy is > 65 Nm and the distance from the floor to the lowest edge of the unit or any part is > 300mm The potential energy is the multiplication of the total mass of the unit, or the part, and the height above the floor in meter (m) to the centre of gravity.

3.2 Determination of the centre of gravity The centre of gravity of a part or unit shall be taken as the geometric centre of the useable volume of drawers and units, and as the geome

記事のタイトル:EN 14073-2:2004 - オフィス家具 - 収納家具 - 第2部:安全要件 記事内容:この文書は、オフィスの収納家具に対する安全要件を規定しています。この文書は、高密度の機械化されたファイリングシステム、回転式ファイリングシステム、またはプランファイルには適用されません。指定された要件を満たしても、常習的な誤用や過度に長い使用期間の結果としての故障の発生を完全に防止することは保証されません。建物の構造による安全は含まれません。たとえば、壁掛けキャビネットの強度には、キャビネットとその部品のみが含まれます。壁やその取り付け部分は含まれません。劣化の評価は含まれていません。

The article discusses the safety requirements for office storage furniture specified in EN 14073-2:2004. The document does not apply to certain types of filing systems. It is important to note that meeting these requirements does not guarantee the prevention of failure due to misuse or prolonged use. The safety of the furniture does not encompass the building's structure, such as wall hanging cabinets where only the cabinet and its parts are considered, not the wall or its attachment. Additionally, the assessment of aging is not covered in this document.
