EN 17869:2023 - Hardware for furniture - Test methods for strength and overload tests of connectors for furniture constructed from panel material

Overview

EN 17869:2023 - published by CEN - defines standardized test methods for strength and overload tests of connectors for furniture constructed from panel material. It is primarily intended to assess cabinet connectors for carcases made of wood‑based panel materials, but the methods can also be used to compare other connector types (for example some bed connectors). The standard specifies test setups, specimen geometry, force application, evaluation procedures and reporting requirements. Note: aging, temperature and humidity influences are not included in the scope.

Key Topics and Requirements

  • Test focus: Strength and overload tests apply to the connector, its components and the mounting in the cabinet carcase - not to non‑structural functions such as covers.
  • Test specimens: Two main specimen types are defined:
    • Test specimen 1 - perpendicular force (single connector).
    • Test specimen 2 - lateral force and torque (two connectors).
  • Test equipment & setup:
    • Loading device must be rotatable, steel, with limited transverse deflection (max 0.1 mm) and steel mandrel (≥12 mm diameter).
    • Clamping devices must support full depth/length of specimens.
    • Forces applied slowly (negligible dynamic effects); masses may be used (10 N = 1 kg).
  • Material defaults: If not specified by the manufacturer, particleboard defaults to type P2 (EN 312) with reference properties (axial withdrawal of screws ~1 100 ± 100 N; density ~650 ± 50 kg/m3).
  • Pre‑test conditions:
    • Mount connectors per manufacturer instructions; if unspecified use the most adverse configuration and record it.
    • Tighten connectors to the manufacturer’s torque, or to 80% of maximum torque if unspecified; record torque in the test report.
    • Indoor ambient test temperature 15 °C to 25 °C; condition hygroscopic plastic parts at (23 ± 5) °C / (50 ± 5) % RH for ≥7 days.
  • Tolerances: Forces ±5%; masses ±1%; dimensions ±0.5 mm; velocities ±5%.
  • Evaluation & annexes:
    • Annex A - reference connector (glued dowel).
    • Annex B - ratio generation methodology.
    • Annex C - stiffness calculation for overload evaluation.
    • Annex D - evaluation using the 5 % percentile characteristic value.

Applications and Who Uses It

  • Furniture manufacturers - validate connector performance for cabinet carcases and ensure representative production models meet strength requirements.
  • Hardware designers & R&D - compare connector designs, optimize geometry and stiffness.
  • Test laboratories & QA teams - execute standardized strength/overload tests and produce compliant test reports.
  • Certification bodies & specifiers - use the results for product verification, procurement and conformity assessments.
  • Value: Enables objective comparison of connector performance, supports product development, quality control and market surveillance.

The article discusses the test methods and procedures outlined in the SIST EN 17869:2023 standard for evaluating the strength and overload tests of connectors used in furniture made from panel materials. The document specifically focuses on assessing cabinet connectors for wooden furniture, but the methods can be applied to other types of connectors as well. The tests only apply to the connectors and their components, not additional functions such as covering. The test results are only valid for the specific connector tested and can represent the performance of production models if the tested model is representative. The standard includes informative annexes that provide additional methodologies for evaluating the results and comparing the tested connector with a reference connector. The standard does not cover aging, temperature, and humidity influences.
