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 a poser ou accrochés a une cloison ou un mur ainsi que la stabilité statique des meubles a poser.
La présente Norme européenne s'applique aux meubles mobiles a 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 systemes mécanisés d'archivage, aux systemes de classement rotatifs et aux meubles de rangement pour plans.
Les essais sont destinés a 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 a 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 etre trouvées dans la Partie 2 de cette Norme européenne.
L'évaluation du vieillissement n'est pas incluse.
