Overview
EN 14749:2016/FprA1 is a European (CEN) standard specifying safety requirements and test methods for domestic and kitchen storage units and kitchen worktops. The document covers all types of kitchen and bathroom storage units and domestic storage furniture and their components, and the draft amendment A1 explicitly extends scope to include TV-furniture. It defines required tests for stability, loading and overturning and sets out product information that must be supplied with furniture.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope & exclusions
- Applies to domestic/kitchen/bathroom storage units and kitchen worktops; excludes non‑domestic, office, industrial, catering, retail storage and lockers.
- Does not include requirements for ageing, degradation, flammability or electrical safety, nor the strength of the building structure (wall itself).
- Furniture covered by toy safety standard EN 71‑1 is excluded.
- Stability and tipping tests
- Free‑standing units with top height ≥ 600 mm and potential energy > 60 Nm are subject to stability requirements.
- Amendment A1 introduces specific TV‑furniture stability tests regardless of unit height; different procedures for TV support surfaces ≤ 600 mm and > 600 mm above floor.
- Test loads: vertical downwards forces of 150 N (≤600 mm) and 250 N (>600 mm) on a loaded TV template; overturning moment of 60 Nm for doors/closed storage tests (see Table 4).
- TV template and test method
- Two TV templates defined (template dimensions and unloaded mass): Template 1 and Template 2 with lengths ~710 mm and 1 110 mm; heights 400 and 620 mm; unloaded template weight (10 ± 0.2) kg.
- Template selection is based on manufacturer’s declared maximum TV size or on length of TV support surface (≤ 812.8 mm = 32 in uses Template 1).
- Product information and labelling
- Installation instructions and warnings (e.g., use wall attachment devices where required).
- For TV‑furniture, the maximum size and weight of supported TV must be specified.
- Additional self‑assembly information: parts list, required tools, and bolt/fastening diagrams.
Applications and users
- Furniture manufacturers and designers (kitchen, bathroom, domestic storage, TV‑furniture)
- Product safety engineers and compliance teams preparing test evidence
- Test laboratories performing stability, loading and overturning tests
- Retailers and installers who must supply/adhere to product information and installation warnings
- Certification bodies and regulators verifying market conformity

The article discusses the European Standard EN 14749:2016/FprA1, which sets out safety requirements and test methods for various types of kitchen and bathroom storage units, domestic storage furniture, and their components. The standard does not apply to non-domestic storage, office storage, industrial storage, catering equipment, retail storage, and industrial storage lockers. It also does not cover units that are already regulated by EN 71 1 (Safety of toys - Part 1: Mechanical and physical properties) and EN 60065 (Audio, video, and similar electronic apparatus - Safety requirements). The standard does not include requirements for resistance to ageing, degradation, flammability, and electrical safety. Safety measures dependent on the building's structure, such as the strength of wall hanging units, only consider the cabinet and its components, not the wall or wall attachments. The article also mentions that annexes A, B, C, and D provide additional information and guidance on testing methods, unit and component testing, loading of wall hanging units, and calculation of vertical and horizontal forces.
