Pohištvo - Shranjevalne enote za domačo uporabo in kuhinje ter kuhinjske delovne plošče - Varnostne zahteve in preskusne metode

Ta evropski standard podaja varnostne zahteve za vse vrste shranjevalnih enot za kuhinje in kopalnice ter shranjevalnega pohištva za domačo uporabo, ki so povsem sestavljeni in pripravljeni za uporabo, vključno s kuhinjskimi delovnimi površinami, nepremičnimi sestavnimi deli in steklenimi sestavnimi deli.
V dodatku A (normativni) določa dodatne preskusne metode.
Ne uporablja se za shranjevalno pohištvo za javno rabo, shranjevalno pohištvo za pisarne, industrijsko shranjevalno pohištvo, opremo za pripravo in dostavo hrane, opremo trgovskih prostorov ter za omarice na zaklep.
Ne uporablja se za enote, ki jih obravnavata standarda EN 71-1, Varnost igrač – 1. del: Mehanske in fizikalne lastnosti, ter EN 60065, Avdio, video in podobni elektronski aparati – Varnostne zahteve.
Ne vključuje zahtev za električno varnost.
Če ima pohištvo dodatne funkcije, je pomembno, da izpolnjuje varnostne zahteve ustreznega evropskega varnostnega standarda za vsebovano funkcijo.
Varnost, odvisna od konstrukcije stavbe, ni vključena, npr. trdnost visečih enot na steni vključuje samo omarice in njene sestavne dele. Stene in stenski pritrditveni elementi niso vključeni.
