(Amendment)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 for all fields of application. 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.

Overview
SIST EN 15939:2012/kFprA1:2013 (CEN) specifies standardized test methods to verify the strength and loading capacity of wall attachment devices used with storage furniture. The standard covers tests that simulate normal functional use and reasonably expected misuse, and applies to both the furniture-mounted component and the wall-mounted component as a combined device. Attachment into the wall itself is not included.
Key constraints highlighted in the standard:
- Corrosion testing (Clause 6.3) is treated separately; other tests evaluate performance regardless of material, construction, or manufacturing process.
- Ageing, temperature and humidity influences (except corrosion) are not included.
- Test results are valid only for the devices tested, but can represent production models if the tested sample is representative.
- Annex A contains product information requirements (normative). Annex B provides an informative method for determining loading capacity.
Key Topics
- Scope and applicability: All types of wall attachment devices for storage furniture, excluding devices intended solely to prevent overturning.
- Test methods: Application of loads and forces to simulate normal and foreseeable misuse; tests performed in a specified test frame.
- Test configuration: The tests may be applied to the furniture-attached part alone or to the combined furniture-and-wall parts; the wall substrate and fixing into the wall are outside the standard.
- Material independence: With the corrosion test exception, test procedures are designed to assess performance without being prescriptive about materials, design or manufacturing.
- Reporting and representativeness: Results apply to tested devices and may be used to assess production models when representative samples are chosen.
Applications
This standard is intended for manufacturers, test laboratories, product designers and regulatory bodies involved with:
- Storage furniture safety evaluation and conformity assessment
- Product development and validation of wall attachment hardware (brackets, hooks, rails)
- Creating product documentation and user information per Annex A
- Comparative testing to demonstrate loading capacity and functional resilience under expected misuse
Benefits of complying with EN 15939 include improved product safety, clearer performance claims, and better alignment with European market expectations for furniture hardware.
Related Standards
- Other CEN furniture and hardware standards addressing overturning prevention, fixation into substrates, or environmental aging may be relevant when creating a full safety and conformity dossier.
- See Annex A (normative) for required product information and Annex B (informative) for a method to determine loading capacity.
For procurement, testing or compliance tasks, reference SIST EN 15939:2012/kFprA1:2013 to ensure consistent, repeatable evaluation of wall attachment device strength and loading performance for storage furniture.
