Office furniture - Work tables and desks - Part 3: Methods of test for the determination of the stability and the mechanical strength of the structure

This part of the European standard EN 527 specifies the mechanical strength requirements and test methods of the structure of tables and desks. The tests are designed to be applied to an article of furniture that is fully assembled and ready for use.

Büromöbel - Büro-Arbeitstische - Teil 3: Prüfverfahren für die Bestimmung der Standsicherheit und der mechanischen Festigkeit der Konstruktion

Dieser Teil der Europäischen Norm EN 527 legt Prüfverfahren für die Bestimmung der Standsicherheit und der mechanischen Festigkeit der Konstruktion von Büro Arbeitstischen fest.
ANMERKUNG   In der englischen Fassung der Norm haben die Benennungen "table" und "desk" die gleiche Bedeutung und zur Vereinfachung wird dort im weiteren Verlauf der Norm nur noch die Benennung "table" verwendet.
Die Prüfungen sind zur Anwendung am vollständig zusammengebauten und gebrauchsfertigen Möbel ausgelegt.

Mobilier de bureau - Tables de travail de bureau - Partie 3: Méthodes d'essai pour la détermination de la stabilité et de la résistance mécanique de la structure

La présente partie de l'EN 527 spécifie un ensemble de méthodes d'essai méca- niques de résistance de la structure des tables et bureaux ainsi que les spécifications correspondantes. Les essais sont conçus pour être appliqués à un meuble entièrement assemblé et prêt à l'usage.

all forces shall have an accuracy of ± 5 % of the nominal force ;¾
all dimensions an accuracy of ± 1 mm of the nominal dimension ;¾
all masses an accuracy of ± 0,5 % of the nominal mass.The tolerance for the position of loading pads shall be ± 5 mm.4 Test apparatusUnless otherwise stated, the tests may be applied by any suitable device because results are dependent only uponcorrectly applied forces and loads and not upon the apparatus.4.1 Floor surfaceHorizontal, flat and rigid with a smooth surface. For the drop test (5.6), a rubber mat (2 ± 0,5) mm thick, withhardness of 85 IRHD ±
10 IRHD according to ISO 48 on top of a concrete floor.4.2 StopsTo prevent the article from sliding but not tilting, no higher than 12 mm except in cases where the design of theitem necessitates the use of higher stops, in which case the lowest that will prevent the item from moving shall beused.4.3 Loading pad for the application of vertical forcesA rigid object with a flat surface, 100 mm in diameter, with a 12 mm front edge radius.4.4 Horizontal force application deviceA device, capable of applying a gradually increasing horizontal force. The device shall be capable of applying theforce at the required angle of inclination of the horizontal and shall not hinder the free movement of the article.4.5 MassesMasses designed so that they do not reinforce the structure or redistribute the load.5 Test methods5.1 Stability5.1.1 Purpose of the testTo check the ability of tables to resist forces which can cause overturning under the following conditions :¾ Stability under vertical load : to demonstrate adequate resistance to being overturned by people using thetable.¾ Stability with drawers open : to demonstrate adequate resistance to overturning with drawers fully loadedand fully open.SIST EN 527-3:2003
