Hardware for furniture - Strength and durability of locking mechanism

This European standard specifies test methods and requirements for the strength and durability of all types of locking mechanism for furniture and their components for all fields of application. This European standard does not apply to latching mechanisms.  The tests consist of the application of loads, forces simulating normal functional use, as well as misuse, that might reasonably be expected to occur. With the exception of the corrosion test in 6.4, the tests are designed to evaluate properties without regard to materials, design/construction or manufacturing processes. The strength and durability tests only relate to the locking mechanisms and their components and the parts used for the attachment, e.g. screws. The strength and durability tests are carried out in particle board with specified properties. The test results can only be used as a guide to the performance of a piece of furniture. The test results are only valid for the locking mechanisms and their components tested. These results may be used to represent the performance of production models provided that the tested model is representative of the production model. With the exception of corrosion, ageing and influences of heat and humidity is not included.

Möbelbeschläge - Festigkeit und Dauerhaltbarkeit von Verschlussmechanismen

Dieses Dokument legt Prüfverfahren und Anforderungen für die Festigkeit und Dauerhaltbarkeit aller Arten von Verschlussmechanismen für Möbel und ihre Bauteile in allen Anwendungsbereichen fest. ANMERKUNG Beispiele für typische Verschlussmechanismen sind in CEN/TC 207 WI 00207214 angegeben. Diese Norm gilt nicht für Verriegelungsmechanismen. Die Prüfungen bestehen aus der Anwendung von Belastungen bzw. Kräften, die den bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch simulieren sowie den Missbrauch, der begründeterweise und erwartungsgemäß eintreten kann. Mit Ausnahme der Korrosionsprüfung in 6.4 sind die Prüfungen dazu angelegt, Eigenschaften ohne Berück-sichtigung der Werkstoffe und Ausführungs-/Konstruktions- oder Herstellungsprozesse zu beurteilen. Die Prüfungen der Festigkeit und Dauerhaltbarkeit beziehen sich nur auf die Verschlussmechanismen und ihre Bauteile und die Teile für die Befestigung, z. B. Schrauben. Die Prüfungen der Festigkeit und Dauerhaltbarkeit werden an Spanplatten mit festgelegten Eigenschaften ausgeführt. Die Prüfergebnisse können lediglich als Orientierungshilfe bezüglich der Leistungsmerkmale eines Möbelstücks verwendet werden. Die Prüfergebnisse gelten ausschließlich für die geprüften Verschlussmechanismen und deren Bauteile. Diese Ergebnisse können verwendet werden, um die Leistung von Serienmodellen wiederzugeben, voraus-gesetzt, das geprüfte Modell ist für das Serienmodell repräsentativ. Mit Ausnahme der Korrosion sind die Alterung sowie Einflüsse von Temperatur und Luftfeuchte nicht enthalten. Anhang A (informativ): Produktinformationssystem; Anhang B (normativ): Prüfparameter.

Quincaillerie d'ameublement - Résistance mécanique et endurance des mécanismes de verrouillage

Le présent document spécifie des méthodes d’essai et des exigences relatives à la résistance mécanique et à l’endurance de tous les types de mécanismes de verrouillage pour meuble et de leurs composants prévus pour tous les champs d’application.
NOTE   Des exemples de mécanismes de verrouillage typiques sont donnés dans le CEN/TC 207 TR 00207214.
La présente norme ne s’applique pas aux mécanismes de fermeture.
Les essais consistent à appliquer des charges, des forces simulant un usage fonctionnel normal et un mauvais usage auquel on peut raisonnablement s’attendre.
À l’exception de l’essai de corrosion décrit en 6.4, les essais sont conçus pour évaluer les propriétés quels que soient les matériaux, la conception/construction ou les procédés de fabrication.
Les essais de résistance mécanique et d’endurance concernent uniquement les mécanismes de verrouillage et leurs composants ainsi que les éléments utilisés pour leur fixation, par exemple, des vis.
Les essais de résistance mécanique et d’endurance sont effectués sur des panneaux de particules ayant des propriétés spécifiées. Les résultats d’essai peuvent uniquement servir de guide en matière de performances d’un meuble.
Les résultats d’essai sont valables uniquement pour les mécanismes de verrouillage et leurs composants soumis à l’essai. Ces résultats peuvent être utilisés pour indiquer les performances des modèles fabriqués à condition que le modèle essayé soit représentatif du modèle fabriqué.
À l’exception de la corrosion, le vieillissement et les effets de la chaleur et de l’humidité ne sont pas traités.

Pohištveno okovje - Trdnost in trajnost mehanizmov za zaklepanje

Ta evropski standard opredeljuje preskusne metode in zahteve za trdnost in trajnost vseh vrst mehanizmov za zaklepanje za pohištvo in njihovih sestavnih delov za vsa področja uporabe. Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za zapahe. Preskus zajema obremenjevanje z bremeni in silami, ki nastanejo ob običajni funkcionalni uporabi ter tudi ob pričakovani nepravilni uporabi. Razen korozijskega preskusa iz točke 6.4 so preskusi so namenjeni vrednotenju lastnosti ne glede na materiale, obliko/sestavo ali postopke izdelave. Preskusi trdnosti in trajnosti veljajo le za mehanizme za zaklepanje in njihove sestavne dele ter dele, ki se uporabljajo za pritrditev, npr. vijake.
Preskusi trdnosti in trajnosti se izvajajo na iverni plošči s predpisanimi lastnostmi. Rezultati preskusa so zgolj smernice v zvezi z lastnostmi kosa pohištva.
Rezultati preskusa veljajo le za mehanizme za zaklepanje in njihove preskušene sestavne dele. Rezultati se lahko uporabijo za predstavitev lastnosti proizvodnih modelov, če preskusni model ustreza proizvodnemu modelu. Staranje ter vplivi vročine in vlage niso vključeni, razen pri koroziji.

NOTE It requires a key or a combination in order to activate it or to make it possible to activate it. [ISO 7170:2005 and EN 14074:2004] SIST EN 16014:2012



EN 16014:2011 (E) 5 3.2 latch mechanism which retains an extension element or a door in the closed position NOTE It requires a second action in order to release it. 3.3 stop part of hardware in the cabinet which works together with the locking hook [CEN/TR 16015:2010, 2.5.1] 4 General test conditions 4.1 Preliminary preparation The locking mechanism shall be assembled/mounted according to the instructions supplied with it. If mounting or assembly instructions are not supplied, the most adverse configuration shall be used and the mounting or assembly method shall be recorded in the test report. Fittings shall be tightened before testing and shall not be re-tightened unless specifically required in the manufacturer’s instructions. If the configuration must be changed to produce the worst-case conditions, this shall be recorded in the test report. For testing a range of related locks, only worst case(s) need to be tested. The tests shall be carried out in indoor ambient conditions at a temperature between 15 °C and 25 °C. If during a test the temperature is outside of the range of 15 °C to 25 °C, the maximum and/or minimum temperature shall be recorded in the test report. Locking mechanisms which include structural hardware parts made of hygroscopic plastic materials, e.g. polyamide shall be conditioned at (23 ± 5) °C and a relative humidity of (50 ± 5) % for at least 7 days before testing. If a test cannot be carried out as specified in this standard
