spindle and fastening elements (see 5.2), a half set of lock or latch furniture shall be fitted to atest block as defined in 6.2.1.1 and shall meet the requirements for test 7.3.2.A set of lock or latch furniture, including the half set already submitted to 7.3.2, shall be fitted to a test block asdefined in 6.2.1.2. The half set already tested shall be submitted to tests 7.3.3 to 7.3.12, as appropriate to the typeof furniture, in the sequence specified in Table 1.Corrosion resistance specified in 5.14 and 7.4, shall be carried out on samples that have not been subjected to anyof the preceding tests, in order to verify compliance with the requirements of EN 1670:1998.6.2 Test apparatus6.2.1 Fixing to a test block (see Figures B.1 and B.2)6.2.1.1 After checking that the
spindle and fastening elements meet the requirements of 5.2, a half-set of lockor latch furniture shall be mounted on a test block of laminated wood (bonding type 1F 20, quality 11/11, 19laminates, see DIN 68705) as shown in Figure B.1.The dimensions of the test block shall be 300 mm ± 5 mm
150 mm ± 5 mm
20 mm ± 1 mm finished thickness.Fastening elements supplied or specified by the manufacturer shall be used.NOTEIf fastening elements are unsuitable for the 20 mm block thickness, any other suitable means can be used.The spindle shall be engaged with the lever handle or knob to the minimum recommended by the manufacturer orotherwise to the minimum permitted by the design. It shall pass through a clearance hole in the test block toengage in a fixed reaction plate for a distance of 8 mm 01 mm.

30° ± 3°. When the knob is in the "at-rest" position or at 55° ± 5°, thetorque shall not vary by more than 0,03 Nm from the torque at the 30° position. A counterbalanced bar or othersuitable device may be attached to the knob or levers, if less than 85 mm, to apply the rotary movement and triggerthe return movement.The initial point of contact of the driving peg with the lever handle or counterbalanced bar shall be 50 mm ± 1 mmfrom the axis of rotation of the furniture.A rigid steel stop of 10 mm diameter attached to the frame of the test apparatus and positioned 80 mm ± 1 mmfrom the axis of rotation of the furniture shall be provided to arrest unsprung levers or knobs at the "at-rest" position± 1°.The "at-rest" position is when the spindle hole in the lever or knob is square to the horizontal/vertical. This positionmay be set by reference to the "cord" hole in the pulley
(see Figure B.4).6.2.3.3 Application of test loadsA force ‘P’ shall be applied to one of the lever handles or knobs by a cord which passes over a pulley whose axis is500 mm ± 10 mm from the face of the test block, the cord carrying a suitable load. The position of the pulley shallbe such that when the lever handle or knob is in its "at-rest" position, the cord is perpendicular ± 2° to the plane ofthe test block (see Figure B.6).For lever handles, the force shall be applied
without shock and in a controlled manner, at a point 50 mm ± 1 mmfrom the axis of rotation of the spindle.For knobs, the force shall be applied without shock and in a controlled manner coaxially with the axis of rotation ± 1mm.A downward force L shall be applied to the pulley as indicated in Figure B.6.A suitable bottom pulley is shown in Figure B.7.Means of repeating the required test cycle for the specified numbers of operations, as required in 7.3.7, shall beprovided.

the procedures for each of these tests are shown in annex D.It is important to check requirements before performance tests are commenced.7.2 Acceptance conditions7.2.1If each test set complies with the appropriate requirements of clause 5, the whole stock from which thesamples were taken shall be deemed to comply with this European Standard.7.2.2If any one set fails to comply with all the appropriate requirements of clause 5, a second test sample ofthree sets shall be taken at random from the same stock, and shall be tested in accordance with clauses 6 and 7.7.2.3If more than one set of lock or latch furniture fails to comply with the appropriate requirements of clause 5,the stock shall be deemed not to comply with this European Standard and no further testing shall be allowed.7.3 Performance tests7.3.1 Check of spindle and fastening elements (Test 1)Before fitting the set of lock or latch furniture to a test block it shall be verified that the spindle and fasteningelements supplied comply with requirements of 5.2 and 6.1.7.3.2 Rotational strength
(Test 2)The requirements of 5.3 shall be satisfied.The sample half set of lock or latch furniture shall be mounted on the test block specified in 6.2.1.1 and shown inFigure B.1.A dial gauge shall be mounted in contact with the lever handle or knob bar, at a point 50 mm ± 2 mm from the axisof rotation of the spindle. A pre-torque of 1 Nm ± 0,1 Nm shall be applied without shock in a plane parallel to theblock surface ± 2° and the reading of the dial gauge shall be recorded.A torque in accordance with Table 1 shall be applied without shock, in a plane parallel to the block surface ± 2°.The torque shall be maintained for 60 s 010s and then removed without shock.After removal of the torque except for the pre-torque, the reading of the dial gauge shall be recorded.

set of
lock or latch furniture shall be mounted on the test block as required by 6.2.1.2 and shown inFigure B.3The sample shall be subjected to a pre-load of 15 N ± 1 N, followed by a test force applied without shock in adirection away from the test block surface and perpendicular to it ± 2°. The forces shall be applied at a distance of50 mm ± 1 mm from the axis of rotation.Apply the pre-load, measure and record the distance from the face of the test block to the underside of the leverhandle or knob bar, at a reference point 75 mm ± 2 mm from the axis of rotation.Apply the test force in accordance with Table 1 and maintain the test force for 60 s 010s and then slowly reduce itback to the pre-load value of 15 N ± 1 N. Re-measure and record the distance from the face of the test block to thereference point on the lever handle or knob bar.7.3.4 Free play and safety (Test 4)The requirements of 5.5.1 and 5.5.2 shall be satisfied.With the lever handle or knob in its "at-rest" position, apply a force of 15 N ±1 N to the lever handle or knob bar at apoint 50 mm ± 1 mm from the axis of rotation, alternately towards and away from the test block, in a directionperpendicular to the face of the test block ± 5°, as shown in Figure B.8.Measure and record the maximum total movement between the extreme positions of a reference point 75 mm ± 2mm from the axis of rotation, while the forces are applied.Repeat and record the measurements with the lever handle or knob rotated to a position 60° ± 5° from the "at-rest"position as shown in Figure B.8, or at the maximum angle of rotation permitted by the design.7.3.5 Free angular movement or misalignment (Test 5)The requirements of 5.6 shall be satisfied.With one lever handle or knob held against rotation, the other lever handle or knob shall be rotated by applying aforce of 15 ± 1 N at a point 50 mm ± 1 mm from the axis of rotation in a parallel plane ± 2° to the face of the testblock as indicated in Figure B.9.The displacement of the lever handle or knob bar at a point 75 mm ± 2 mm from the axis of rotation shall bemeasured and recorded, for comparison with the position of the corresponding point on the fixed lever handle orbar.7.3.6 Torque of return mechanism (Test 6)7.3.6.1 Unsprung lever handles and spring-assisted lever handlesThe requirements of 5.7.2 shall be satisfied.Verify that the lever handle rotates through the required minimum operating angle of 60° for unsprung leverhandles or 40° for spring-assisted lever handles.A torque shall be applied to return the lever handle to its "at-rest" position, at 5° and 10° intervals, up to 60° or 40°as appropriate.
Measure and record the value of the torqueFor spring assisted lever handles only, a torque shall be applied to rotate the lever handle to a minimum of 40°from its "at-rest" position.
Measure and record the value of the torque.
