Die Norm EN 1022:2018 bietet eine umfassende Grundlage für die Bestimmung der Stabilität von Sitzmöbeln. Dieser Standard umfasst Testmethoden und Anforderungen, die für alle Arten von Sitzmöbeln für Erwachsene bis zu einem Gewicht von 110 kg anwendbar sind. Die Vielseitigkeit des Standards ist eine seiner größten Stärken, da er unabhängig von Einsatz, Materialien, Design oder Herstellungsprozess ist. Die Norm legt klare und präzise Testmethoden fest, die auch auf Sitzgelegenheiten für Kinder und schwerere Erwachsene anwendbar sind, indem Testlasten und -punkte modifiziert werden. Dies zeigt die Anpassungsfähigkeit des Standards und seine Relevanz für unterschiedliche Zielgruppen und Nutzungsszenarien. Es ist wichtig zu beachten, dass die EN 1022:2018 nicht für Hochstühle für Kinder, tischmontierte Stühle und Badewannensitze gilt, da diese Produkte durch andere europäische Normen geregelt sind. Diese Klarstellung hilft dabei, die Gültigkeit und den Anwendungsbereich der Norm zu definieren, was für Hersteller und Verbraucher gleichermaßen von Bedeutung ist. Die Norm SIST EN 1022:2019 sichert die Qualität und Sicherheit von Sitzmöbeln, indem sie eine einheitliche Test- und Bewertungsmethodik bereitstellt. Dies fördert nicht nur das Vertrauen der Verbraucher in die Stabilität der Produkte, sondern unterstütz auch die Hersteller bei der Einhaltung von Sicherheitsstandards. Insgesamt ist die EN 1022:2018 ein relevanter und leistungsfähiger Standard für die Industrie, der die Stabilität von Sitzmöbeln auf effektive Weise gewährleistet.
La norme EN 1022:2018, intitulée "Mobilier - Sièges - Détermination de la stabilité", représente un document fondamental dans le domaine de l'ergonomie et de la sécurité des meubles. Son champ d'application est vaste, puisqu'elle spécifie des méthodes d'essai et des exigences pour évaluer la stabilité de tous types de sièges destinés aux adultes pesant jusqu'à 110 kg. Ce qui est particulièrement notable dans cette norme, c'est son approche universelle qui ne se limite pas à un type particulier d'utilisation, de matériau ou de processus de fabrication. Cela la rend adaptée à un large éventail d'applications dans le secteur du mobilier. Parmi les points forts de la norme EN 1022:2018, on trouve sa flexibilité. Les méthodes d'essai décrites peuvent être adaptées pour évaluer non seulement les sièges destinés aux adultes, mais aussi ceux pour les enfants et les adultes plus lourds en modifiant les charges et les points de charge. Cette capacité d'adaptation garantit que les fabricants peuvent appliquer les principes de cette norme à une variété de produits tout en maintenant des standards de sécurité élevés. En plus de sa portée et de sa flexibilité, la pertinence de cette norme réside dans son exclusion délibérée des chaises hautes pour enfants, des chaises montées sur table et des sièges de bain, qui sont régis par d'autres normes européennes. Cette précision permet d'éviter toute confusion et assure que les utilisateurs et les fabricants soient bien informés sur les exigences spécifiques qui leur sont applicables. Dans l'ensemble, la norme SIST EN 1022:2019 se distingue par sa rigueur et son applicabilité dans le domaine de la sécurité des sièges, établissant un cadre essentiel pour garantir la stabilité et la sécurité des produits tout en prenant en compte la diversité des usages et des utilisateurs.
SIST EN 1022:2019は、成人用座席の安定性を評価するための試験方法と要件を明確に規定した重要な標準です。この標準の範囲は、体重110 kgまでの成人の座席に適用され、用途、材料、設計/構造、製造プロセスに関係なく、全ての種類の座席の安定性を確認するための基準を提供します。このように、幅広い種類の座席に対応することから、様々な市場ニーズに応えることができる点は大きな強みです。 また、試験方法に関しては、子供用のイスやより重い成人用の座席についても試験荷重や荷重ポイントを変更することで適用可能である点が際立っています。この柔軟性により、製造者は多様な製品ラインに対して一貫性のある安定性評価を行うことができ、製品の安全性を確保する際に非常に重要です。 一方で、SIST EN 1022:2019は、子供用ハイチェアやテーブル取付け椅子、浴槽用イスなどに関しては、他の欧州標準に従っているため、対象外であることも明確にされています。この適用範囲の明確さは、標準の有効性と専門性をさらに強調しています。 全体として、SIST EN 1022:2019は、全ての座席の安定性を確実に評価するための信頼性の高い指針を提供しており、業界全体における安全性向上に寄与しています。座席の設計や製造に関与するプロフェッショナルにとって、非常に価値のある標準と言えるでしょう。
The standard EN 1022:2018 focuses on the critical aspect of stability in seating furniture, providing a comprehensive framework for ensuring that various types of seating meet safety and performance criteria. This standard encompasses test methods and requirements specifically designed for seating intended for adults weighing up to 110 kg. By addressing stability regardless of design, materials, or manufacturing processes, this document exhibits remarkable inclusivity and flexibility, making it applicable to a broad spectrum of seating solutions. One of the notable strengths of EN 1022:2018 is its adaptability for different user demographics. While primarily aimed at adult seating, the standard also allows for the modification of test loads and loading points, enabling manufacturers to assess stability for seating intended for children or heavier adults effectively. This adaptability ensures that a wide range of seating products can be evaluated appropriately under relevant conditions, enhancing consumer safety. Moreover, the standard's well-defined scope explicitly states its limitations, notably the exclusion of children's highchairs, table-mounted chairs, and bath seats. These exclusions are significant as they direct users towards other European Standards tailored for those specific categories, promoting a clear and efficient navigation of safety compliance in furniture design. In terms of relevance, EN 1022:2018 is essential in today’s market, where consumer awareness of safety standards is heightened. By adhering to this standard, manufacturers can demonstrate their commitment to producing stable, safe seating solutions, thereby enhancing brand credibility and consumer trust. The presence of clear testing requirements empowers manufacturers to implement rigorous quality controls, ultimately leading to better-designed products that can withstand real-world use. Overall, EN 1022:2018 stands as a vital document in the realm of furniture safety, particularly concerning the stability of seating. Its broad applicability, clear guidelines, and focus on safety underscore its importance in evolving furniture standards, making it a crucial reference for manufacturers and safety inspectors alike.
SIST EN 1022:2019 표준은 가구의 안정성을 평가하기 위한 주요 문서로, 모든 성인의 안정성 측정을 위한 테스트 방법 및 요건을 명시하고 있습니다. 이 표준은 최대 110kg의 체중을 가진 성인을 대상으로 하며, 사용 목적, 재료, 디자인 및 제작 과정에 관계없이 적용됩니다. 표준의 가장 큰 강점 중 하나는 모든 유형의 좌석에 적용 가능하다는 점입니다. 이는 다양한 제품군에서 안정성 테스트를 수행할 수 있게 하여, 제조업체와 사용자가 동일한 기준을 통해 제품의 신뢰성을 평가할 수 있도록 합니다. 또한, 테스트 방법은 어린이 좌석이나 더 무거운 성인 좌석에 대해서도 테스트 하중이나 하중 지점을 조정하여 적용할 수 있어, 매우 유연한 범위를 지니고 있습니다. 이 표준은 어린이용 하이체어, 테이블 장착 의자 및 욕조 좌석에는 적용되지 않으며, 이는 다른 유럽 표준에 의해 커버됩니다. 이러한 명확한 범위 설정은 제품 안전성에서의 혼란을 줄이고, 각 제품군에 맞는 최적의 안전 기준을 마련하는 데 기여합니다. EN 1022:2018은 현대 가구 산업에서 필수적인 안전 기준으로써의 중요성을 지니며, 고객 및 제조업체 모두에게 신뢰할 수 있는 안정성을 보장합니다.
