Safety requirements can be found in EN 14073-2,. Office furniture - Storage furniture - Part 2: Safety requirements
Assessment of ageing is not included.

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.

This document specifies safety requirements for office storage furniture.

This European Standard specifies mechanical test methods for determining the stability, strength and durability of office work chairs.
This European Standard does not specify type approval tests for chair components.
The tests are designed to be applied to an article of furniture that is fully assembled and ready for use.
The tests consist of the application, to various parts of the item, of forces simulating normal functional use, as well as misuse that might reasonably be expected to occur.
The tests are designed to evaluate properties without regard to materials, design/construction or manufacturing processes.
The test results are only valid for the article tested. When the test results are intended to be applied to other similar articles, it is important that the test specimen be representative of the production model.
Tests carried out according to this standard are intended to demonstrate the ability of the item to give satisfactory service in its intended environment. The safety requirements are specified in EN 1335-2 and additional loads, masses and cycles for functional tests can be found in Annex C (informative).
The tests have been developed for units/components that have not been in use. However, when properly justified, they may be used for fault investigation.
Assessment of ageing and degradation is not included. The tests are not intended to assess the durability of upholstery, i.e. filling materials and covers.
Data are given for the design of seat-loading pads in Annex A (normative) and for the design of stability-loading pad in Annex B (normative).

This part of EN 1335 specifies the mechanical safety requirements for office work chairs.
The requirements are based upon use for 8 h a day by persons weighing up to 110 kg. For more severe conditions of use, increased requirements will be necessary.
