20、g those with glass in their construction. It does not apply to office tables or desks, tables for educational institutions and outdoor tables for which EN standards or drafts exist. With exception of the stability tests, this standard does not provide assessment of the suitability of any storage fea
21、tures included in non-domestic tables. It does not include requirements for the durability of castors and height adjustment mechanisms. It does not include requirements for electrical safety. It does not include requirements for the resistance to ageing, degradation. 2 Normative references The follo

25、intentional user contact is high 3.2 parts accessible during setting up and folding parts to which access can only be gained when setting up and folding the table 3.3 shear and squeeze point shear and squeeze points exist if the distance between two accessible parts moving relative to each other is

27、all be carried out in the order in which they are listed in this Standard. 5 Safety requirements 5.1 General The table shall be designed so as to minimise the risk of injury to the user. All parts of the table with which the user comes into contact during intended use, shall be designed so that phys
28、ical injury and damage are avoided. This requirement is met when: 1) edges of table tops which are directly in contact with the user are rounded or chamfered, and all other edges accessible during intended use are free from burrs and/or sharp edges, 2) ends of hollow components are closed or capped.
29、 Movable and adjustable parts shall be designed so that injuries and inadvertent operation are avoided. It shall not be possible for any load bearing part of the table to come loose unintentionally. All parts which are lubricated to assist sliding shall be designed to protect users from lubricant st
30、ains when in normal use. 5.2 Shear and squeeze points 5.2.1 Shear and squeeze points when setting up and folding Unless 5.2.2 or 5.2.3 are applicable, shear and squeeze points that are created only during setting up and folding are acceptable, because the user can be assumed to be in control of his/
31、her movements and to be able to cease applying the force immediately upon experiencing pain. The edges of parts moving relative to each other and creating shear and squeeze points shall be as specified in 5.1. 5.2.2 Shear and squeeze points under influence of powered mechanisms There shall be no she
32、ar and squeeze points created by parts of the table operated by powered mechanisms, i.e. springs, gas lifts and motorised systems. 5.2.3 Shear and squeeze points during use There shall be no shear and squeeze points created by forces applied during normal use, see Table 2. There shall be no shear an
33、d squeeze points if a hazard is created by the user during normal movements and actions, e.g. attempting to move the table.

35、et to the height most likely to overturn the table, but not more than 950 mm. The table shall not overturn when tested according to Clause 6.7 of EN 1730:2000 using the forces specified within Table 2. 5.3.1.3 Test for tables that are or can be set to a height greater than 950 mm The table shall be
36、set to the height most likely to cause overturning, but not less than 950 mm. The table shall not overturn when tested according to Clause 6.7 of EN 1730:2000 using 50 % of the forces specified within Table 2. 5.3.2 Stability for tables with extension elements Load each extension element with the lo
37、ad specified in Table 1. For tables with extension elements not fitted with interlocks, open all extension elements in the least favourable combination. For tables with extension elements fitted with interlocks, open the two extension elements with the largest loads without overriding the interlock.
38、 If an interlock device prevents any two of the extension elements from being opened simultaneously, open the extension element with the largest load. The table shall not overturn when the vertical force specified in Table 2 is applied to the centre of the front of the table, through a loading pad (
39、EN 1730:2000, 5.6), 50 mm from the edge. Table 1 Loads in extension elements Component Load Extension elements designed for suspended filing only 4,0 kg/dm Other extension elements 0,5 kg/dm36 Strength and durability 6.1 General Tables shall be tested for strength and durability according to Table 2
40、 and following the order listed in Table 2. When choosing the loads and cycles for each test, this shall be done with due respect to the end use of the product. It shall be noted that some end uses may be covered by more than one requirement, depending on the severity of the expected use, e.g. resta
41、urants, cafes, cinemas, concert halls. See also Annex C (informative).
