La norme EN 15939:2019 est un document essentiel pour la sécurité et la fiabilité des dispositifs de fixation murale destinés aux meubles de rangement. Son champ d'application est clairement défini, se concentrant sur les méthodes d'essai pour vérifier la capacité de charge de tous les types de dispositifs de fixation murale, sans inclure ceux spécifiquement conçus pour prévenir le renversement de tels meubles. Cette approche cible permet aux fabricants et aux designers d'évaluer adéquatement les performances de leurs produits dans des conditions d'utilisation normales et abusives. Parmi les points forts de cette norme, on note l'accent mis sur la réalisation d'essais basés sur des charges et des forces qui reproduisent des scénarios d'utilisation réels. Cela garantit que les résultats obtenus sont réellement représentatifs de la performance des dispositifs dans la pratique. La norme évalue la résistance sans tenir compte des matériaux ou des processus de fabrication, ce qui la rend largement applicable et pertinente pour divers types de dispositifs de fixation. La présence d'annexes, comme l'Annexe A qui précise les exigences pour l'information sur les produits, ainsi que l'Annexe B et l'Annexe C qui offrent des méthodes pour déterminer la capacité de charge et calculer les forces verticales et horizontales, enrichit considérablement le contenu du document. Ces annexes offrent des orientations pratiques qui aident les utilisateurs à appliquer les spécifications de manière efficace. Il est également crucial de noter que, bien que la norme ne prenne pas en compte les effets de vieillissement ni les influences de température et d'humidité, le test de corrosion inclus dans la section 6.3 garantit que la durabilité du dispositif fixe est également examinée, renforçant ainsi la validité des résultats. Les résultats des essais sont limités aux dispositifs testés, mais peuvent être extrapolés à d'autres modèles de production, tant que ces derniers sont représentatifs des modèles testés. Dans l'ensemble, la norme EN 15939:2019 est une ressource précieuse pour optimiser la qualité et la sécurité des dispositifs de fixation murale dans le secteur du meuble, en fournissant des méthodes d'évaluation claires et des informations essentielles aux fabricants et concepteurs.
EN 15939:2019の標準は、家具のためのハードウェアに関する非常に重要な文書であり、特に壁取り付け装置の強度と荷重能力の検証に焦点を当てています。この文書は、ストレージ家具およびその構成要素に使用されるすべての種類の壁取り付け装置の荷重能力を確認するための試験方法を明確に規定しています。 この標準の強みの一つは、通常の使用及び予想される不適切な使用に基づいた荷重と力を適用するテストを含んでいる点です。これにより、現実に即した使用条件下での装置の性能を評価することが可能となります。また、試験は、材料、設計・構造、製造プロセスに関係なく特性を評価するように設計されているため、多様な製品に適用できる柔軟性があります。 さらに、試験は家具に取り付けられた部分について個別に行うことができ、壁に取り付けられた部分との組み合わせに対しても適用可能です。これにより、さまざまな取り付け方法における力の配分を考慮することができ、実際の家具使用時の安全性向上に寄与します。 試験結果は、試験を受けたデバイスにのみ有効であり、試験されたモデルが生産モデルを代表するものであれば、そのパフォーマンスを示すために使用できます。この点については、製造元にとって特に重要な情報となります。 付録Aでは製品情報に関する要求事項が規定されており、製品の透明性と安全性を確保するための基準として機能します。付録BおよびCは、それぞれ荷重能力の決定方法と垂直及び水平方向の力の概算計算を提供しており、実務に役立つ情報が含まれています。 総じて、EN 15939:2019は、家具の安全な使用を促進し、製品の品質を確保するための有用な指針を提供するものであり、業界内での重要な基準となっています。
Die Norm EN 15939:2019 bietet eine umfassende Grundlage zur Prüfung von Wandbefestigungsgeräten für Aufbewahrungsmöbel, indem sie spezifische Testmethoden zur Überprüfung der Belastbarkeit definiert. Der Geltungsbereich dieser Norm ist klar umrissen und fokussiert sich auf alle Arten von Wandbefestigungen, jedoch nicht auf Geräte, die das Umkippen von Aufbewahrungsmöbeln verhindern sollen. Dies ist ein wichtiger Aspekt, da es darauf hinweist, dass die Norm hauptsächlich auf die funktionalen Aspekte der Wandbefestigung abzielt. Stärken der Norm liegen in der klaren Struktur der Tests, die sowohl normale Nutzung als auch voraussehbare Missbrauchsszenarien simulieren. Die Tests sind darauf ausgelegt, die Eigenschaften von Wandbefestigungsgeräten unabhängig von Materialien oder Konstruktionsmethoden zu bewerten, was eine breite Anwendbarkeit und Flexibilität gewährleistet. Die Durchführung der Stärkeprüfungen in einem festgelegten Prüfrahmen erhöht die Konsistenz und Reproduzierbarkeit der Ergebnisse, was besonders wichtig für Hersteller der betroffenen Produkte ist. Die Ergebnisse der Tests sind nur für die getesteten Geräte gültig, können jedoch auch zur Darstellung der Leistung von Produktionsmodellen verwendet werden, sofern das getestete Modell repräsentativ ist. Dies fördert ein hohes Maß an Verlässlichkeit und Qualitätssicherung in der industriellen Praxis. Zudem wird im Anhang A (normativ) detaillierte Produktinformation festgelegt, während die Anhänge B und C informative Methoden zur Bestimmung der Tragfähigkeit und zur groben Berechnung von vertikalen und horizontalen Kräften bieten. Dies unterstreicht die Relevanz der Norm für Hersteller und Anwender, die eine fundierte Basis für ihre Produktentwicklung und -bewertung benötigen. Insgesamt stellt die Norm EN 15939:2019 einen entscheidenden Schritt zur Standardisierung der Prüfmethoden für Wandbefestigungsgeräte dar, wodurch nicht nur die Sicherheit von Aufbewahrungsmöbeln erhöht, sondern auch das Vertrauen der Verbraucher gestärkt wird.

One of its primary strengths lies in the detailed specification of test methods that simulate both normal functional use and potential misuse scenarios, ensuring that the evaluations conducted are relevant and practical for real-world applications. The scope of the standard is well-defined; it focuses on the verification of all types of wall attachment devices without venturing into those designed solely to prevent furniture from overturning. This targeted approach allows for precise testing and evaluation relevant to the specific functionalities of wall attachment devices. Importantly, the tests assess the performance based on loads and forces without being influenced by material properties, design nuances, or manufacturing processes. This reinforces the credibility of the results, as they can be applied to various contexts, independent of the specifics of the attachment mechanism's material. Furthermore, the structure of the testing, wherein strength tests are performed in a test frame with defined properties, enhances the standard's reliability. The emphasis on obtaining results that are valid exclusively for the tested devices while allowing for representation in production models if they are properly matched, adds to the standard's practical utility for manufacturers and designers in the furniture industry. Annex A's normative requirements for product information and the informative guidance found in Annex B, which details a method for determining loading capacity, provide additional depth to the standard. Annex C's inclusion of calculations for vertical and horizontal forces further aids in understanding how these devices will perform under different loading conditions. Overall, EN 15939:2019 stands as a significant and relevant document, promoting safety and reliability in the use of wall attachment devices for storage furniture and offering valuable insights for designers and consumers alike.
