Office furniture - Storage furniture - Part 3: Test methods for the determination of stability and strength of the structure
This document specifies test methods for the determination of strength of the structure of free standing or screen and wall hanging office storage furniture as well as stability of free standing units.
This document is applicable to mobile furniture, with the exception of the test described in 5.2 which is replaced by the test described in 6.7 of prEN 14074:2004.
This document does not apply to high density mechanized filing systems, rotary filing systems, or plan files.
The tests are intended to simulate overbalancing forces and structural loads, which may occur during normal functional use, as well as misuse that might reasonably be expected to occur.
Safety depending on the 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 the wall attachment are not included.
Safety requirements can be found in prEN 14073-2.
Assessment of ageing is not included.
Büromöbel - Büroschränke - Teil 3: Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung der Standsicherheit und der Festigkeit der Konstruktion
Diese Europäische Norm legt Prüfverfahren für die Bestimmung der Festigkeit der Konstruktion freistehender oder an Wänden bzw. Raumgliederungselementen befestigter Büroschränke fest, sowie die Standsicherheit freistehender Büroschränke.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt auch für bewegliche Möbel, mit Ausnahme der Prüfung nach 5.2, die durch die Prüfung nach EN 14074:2004, 6.7 zu ersetzen ist.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für mechanisierte Aktenschränke, Karussellaktenschränke oder Planschränke.
Die Prüfungen sind darauf abgestimmt, Kippkräfte und Belastungen der Konstruktion zu simulieren, die bei bestimmungsgemäßer Verwendung und vorhersehbarer Fehlanwendung auftreten können.
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.
Sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen sind in EN 14073-2 enthalten.
Die Beurteilung der Alterung ist nicht enthalten.
Mobilier de bureau - Meubles de rangement - Partie 3 : Méthodes d'essai pour la détermination de la stabilité et de la résistance de la structure
La présente Norme européenne spécifie des méthodes d'essai pour la détermination de la résistance de la structure des meubles de rangement de bureau à poser ou accrochés à une cloison ou un mur ainsi que la stabilité statique des meubles à poser.
La présente Norme européenne s'applique aux meubles mobiles à l'exception de l'essai décrit en 5.2, remplacé par l'essai décrit en 6.7 du prEN 14074.
La présente norme ne s'applique pas aux systèmes mécanisés d'archivage, aux systèmes de classement rotatifs et aux meubles de rangement pour plans.
Les essais sont destinés à simuler les forces de basculement et les charges structurelles pouvant survenir lors d'une utilisation normale et lors d'une utilisation anormale prévisible.
La sécurité liée à la structure du bâtiment n'est pas incluse, par exemple la résistance des meubles accrochés au mur tient compte uniquement du meuble et de ses éléments. Le mur et la fixation au mur ne sont pas inclus.
Les exigences de sécurité peuvent être trouvées dans la Partie 2 de cette Norme européenne.
L'évaluation du vieillissement n'est pas incluse.

Before any of the tests are commenced, the item shall be old enough to ensure that it has developed its full strength.
The furniture shall be tested as delivered. Ready to Assemble furniture shall be assembled according to the instructions supplied with it. If the furniture can be assembled or combined in different ways, the most adverse combination shall be used for each test. This is also applicable to units that can be combined with other units or components. Wall or screen mounted units shall be installed according to the manufacturer's instructions. The tests shall be carried out in indoor ambient conditions but, if during a test, the atmosphere temperature is outside the range 15 °C to 25 °C the maximum and/or minimum temperature shall be recorded in the test report.
3.3 Tolerances Unless otherwise stated:
all forces shall have an accuracy of ± 5 % of the nominal force;
all dimensions an accuracy of ± 1,0 mm of the nominal dimension;
all masses to an accuracy of ± 0,5 % of the nominal mass; The accuracy for the position of loading pads shall be ± 5 mm. The relationship 10N = 1kg may be used. 3.4 Sequence of testing Unless otherwise specified, all tests shall be carried out on the same unit and in the sequence laid down in this standard. For a multi shelf unit, all shelf tests shall be carried out on the same shelf. 4 Test apparatus 4.1 Floor surface A rigid, horizontal and flat surface. 4.2 Wall surface A rigid, vertical and flat surface. 4.3 Stops Devices to prevent the unit from sliding, no higher than 12 mm except in cases where the design of the unit necessitates the use of higher stops, in which case the lowest that will prevent the item from sliding shall be used. 4.4 Masses Masses shall not reinforce the structure or re-distribute the stresses.
