(Main)Hardware for furniture - Strength and loading capacity of wall attachment devices
Hardware for furniture - Strength and loading capacity of wall attachment devices
This European Standard specifies test methods for the verification of the loading capacity of all types of wall attachment devices for storage furniture and their components.
It does not apply to devices intended to prevent the overturning of storage furniture.
The tests consist of the application of loads and forces simulating normal functional use, as well as misuse that might reasonably be expected to occur.
With the exception of the corrosion test in 6.3, the tests are designed to evaluate properties without regard to materials, design/construction or manufacturing processes.
The tests can be applied to the part attached to the furniture alone or to the combination of the part attached to the furniture and the part attached to the wall. The attachment into the wall is not included.
The strength tests are carried out in a test frame with specified properties.
The test results are only valid for the devices tested. These results may be used to represent the performance of production models provided that the tested model is representative of the production model.
With the exception of the corrosion test, ageing and influences of temperature and humidity are not included.
Annex A (normative) includes requirements for product information.
Annex B (informative) includes a method for the determination of loading capacity.
Annex C (informative) includes an approximate calculation of vertical and horizontal forces.
Möbelbeschläge - Festigkeit und Tragfähigkeit von Schrankaufhängern
Dieses Dokument legt Prüfverfahren zur Überprüfung der Tragfähigkeit für sämtliche Bauarten von Schrank¬aufhängern für Behältnismöbel und deren Bauteile fest.
Es gilt nicht für Vorrichtungen, die das Umkippen von Behältnismöbeln verhindern sollen.
Die Prüfungen bestehen aus dem Aufbringen von Lasten und Kräften, welche den bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch wie auch vernünftigerweise vorhersehbare Fehlanwendung simulieren.
Mit Ausnahme der Prüfung der Korrosionsbeständigkeit in 6.3 sind die Prüfungen dazu angelegt, Eigenschaften ohne Berücksichtigung der Werkstoffe, Ausführungs /Konstruktions oder Herstellungs-prozesse zu beurteilen.
Die Prüfungen können für das am Möbel befestigte Teil alleine oder die Kombination aus dem am Möbel und dem an der Wand befestigten Teil durchgeführt werden. Die Befestigung in die Wand ist nicht enthalten.
Die Festigkeitsprüfungen erfolgen in einem Prüfrahmen mit vorgegebenen Eigenschaften.
Die Prüfergebnisse gelten nur für die geprüften Vorrichtungen. Diese Ergebnisse können dazu verwendet werden, das Leistungsvermögen des Serienmodells zu repräsentieren, vorausgesetzt das geprüfte Baumuster ist für das Serienmodell repräsentativ.
Mit Ausnahme der Prüfung der Korrosionsbeständigkeit sind Alterung sowie die Einflüsse von Temperatur und Luftfeuchte nicht enthalten.
Anhang A (normativ) enthält Anforderungen an die Produktinformationen.
Anhang B (informativ) enthält ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Tragfähigkeit.
Anhang C (informativ) enthält eine Näherungsrechnung für vertikale und horizontale Kräfte.
Ferrures de meuble - Résistance mécanique et capacité de charge des ferrures de suspension de placard
Le présent document spécifie les méthodes d'essai pour la vérification de la capacité de charge de tous les types de dispositifs de fixation murale pour meubles de rangement et leurs composants.
Elle ne s'applique pas aux dispositifs destinés à empêcher le basculement du meuble de rangement.
Les essais consistent à appliquer des charges et des forces simulant un usage fonctionnel normal et un mauvais usage raisonnablement prévisible.
A l’exception de l’essai de corrosion décrit en 6.3, les essais sont conçus pour évaluer les propriétés quels que soient les matériaux, la conception/construction et les procédés de fabrication.
Les essais peuvent être appliqués à la partie fixée sur le meuble seul ou à la combinaison de la partie fixée sur le meuble avec la partie fixée au mur. La fixation murale n’est pas traitée.
Les essais de résistance mécanique sont effectués sur une structure d’essai ayant des propriétés spécifiées.
Les résultats d’essai ne sont valables que pour les dispositifs soumis à essai. Ces résultats peuvent être utilisés pour indiquer les performances des modèles fabriqués à condition que le modèle soumis à essai soit représentatif du modèle fabriqué.
À l’exception de l’essai de corrosion, le vieillissement et l’influence de la température et de l’humidité ne sont pas traités.
L'Annexe A (normative) comprend les exigences relatives aux informations sur le produit.
L’Annexe B (informative) donne une méthode de détermination de la capacité de charge.
L'Annexe C (informative) contient un calcul approximatif des forces verticales et horizontales.
Pohištveno okovje - Trdnost in nosilnost stenskih omaric
Ta evropski standard določa preskusne metode za preverjanje nosilnosti vseh vrst stenskih omaric za shranjevalno pohištvo in njihove sestavne dele.
Ne uporablja se za omarice, namenjene preprečevanju prevračanja shranjevalnega pohištva.
Preskus zajema obremenjevanje z bremeni in silami, ki nastanejo ob običajni funkcionalni uporabi ter tudi ob pričakovani nepravilni uporabi.
Razen korozijskega preskusa iz točke 6.3 so preskusi namenjeni vrednotenju lastnosti ne glede na materiale, obliko/sestavo ali postopke izdelave.
Preskuse je mogoče uporabiti samo za del, ki je pritrjen na pohištvo, ali pa za del, ki je pritrjen na pohištvo, in del, ki je pritrjen na steno, skupaj. Pritrditev na steno ni zajeta.
Preskusi trdnosti se izvajajo v preskusnem okviru s predpisanimi lastnostmi.
Rezultati preskusa veljajo le za preskušene omarice. Rezultati se lahko uporabijo za predstavitev lastnosti proizvodnih modelov, če preskusni model ustreza proizvodnemu modelu.
Staranje ter vplivi temperature in vlage niso vključeni, razen pri korozijskem preskusu.
Dodatek A (normativni) vključuje zahteve za informacije v zvezi z izdelkom.
Dodatek B (informativni) zajema metodo za ugotavljanje nosilnosti.
Dodatek C (informativni) zajema približen izračun navpičnih in vodoravnih sil.

The strength tests are carried out in a test frame with specified properties.
The test results are only valid for the devices tested. These results can be used to represent the

With the exception of the corrosion test, ageing and influences of temperature and humidity are not
included.
