This European Standard shall be given the stat

13、us of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by April 2013. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject

14、 of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 1957:2000. The main change with respect to the previous edition is the correcting of the dimensions of the roller (Figure 3) to enable the roller to be manuf

15、actured. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Fr

EN 1957:2012 (E) 41 Scope This European Standard specifies test methods for th

17、e determination of the durability and hardness of mattresses and all types of fully erected beds with mattresses (and mattress pads when they form a unit with the mattress). It does not apply to water beds, air beds and children cots. It includes a method for the determination of the firmness rating

18、 of a mattress or a bed correlating to the subjective assessment made by people (see Annex A). It needs to be emphasized that the firmness rating cannot be used to demonstrate comfort and/or quality of a mattress or a complete bed. Ageing and degradation caused by air, light, humidity and temperatur

19、e is not included. The test results are only valid for the article tested. When test results are intended to be applied to other similar articles, the test specimen shall be representative of them. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in thi

20、s document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 1334, Domestic furniture Beds and mattresses Methods of measurement and recommended

21、 tolerancesEN 1725:1998, Domestic furniture Beds and mattresses Safety requirements and test methods3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 test unit mattress or mattress/bed combination 3.2 durability test test simulating the repeate

22、d application of loads and/or movement of components occurring during long-term use and assessing the strength of the article under such conditions and is a test is a procedure mainly intended to evaluate the change of the properties of the test unit caused by repeated loadings 3.3 load/deflection c

25、onditioned for at least one week in a standardised climate of (23 2) C and (50 5) % RH immediately prior to testing. Subsequent conditioning shall also take place in this climate. The tests shall be carried out at indoor ambient conditions but if during a test the temperature is outside the range 15

26、 C to 25 C the maximum and/or minimum temperature shall be recorded in the test report. During conditioning and handling, mattresses shall be kept flat and unloaded. If a test cannot be carried out as specified in this European Standard, e.g. because a loading pad cannot be used for the application

27、of a force due to the design of a product, the test shall be carried out as far as possible as specified. Complete beds shall be tested as delivered. Knock-down type beds shall be assembled according to the instruction supplied with the test unit. If the test unit can be assembled or combined in dif

28、ferent ways, the most adverse combination shall be used for the test. Knock-down fittings shall be tightened before testing. If necessary, mattress pads shall be prevented from moving during testing by a suitable means, e.g. adhesive tape or pins. In cases where bed bases are adjustable in hardness,

29、 the setting during the test shall be recorded in the test report. If the production information states that the mattress has a soft side and a firm side, both sides shall be tested using separate mattresses. 4.2 Tolerances Unless otherwise stated the following tolerances are applicable to the test

30、equipment: a) all forces shall have an accuracy of 5 % of the nominal force; b) all masses an accuracy of 0,5 % of the nominal mass; c) all dimensions an accuracy of 1 mm of the nominal dimension; d) the tolerance for position of loading pads shall be 5 mm. NOTE For the purposes of uncertainty measu

31、rement, test results are not considered to be adversely affected when the above tolerances are met. 4.3 Sequence of testing All tests shall be carried out on the same test unit and in the following sequence: a) conditioning, at least one week (according to 4.1); b) durability pre-conditioning: 100 c

32、ycles (according to 7.2); EN 1957:2012 (E) 6c) conditioning, at least 5 h (according to 4.1); d) measurement of unit height (according to 8.1) at 100 cycles and hardness measurement (according to 7.3 and 8.2) beginning within 5 min from moving the mattress from the standardised climate (according to

33、 4.1); e) durability test : 29 900 cycles (according to 7.2); f) conditioning, at least 5 h (according to 4.1)1);g) determination of hardness (according to 8.2) and height loss between 100 cycles and after the test (according to 8.1); h) bed edge test: 1) durability test at 100 cycles (according to

34、Clause 9); 2) measurement of unit height at 100 cycles (according to 8.1); 3) durability test on bed edge: 4 900 cycles (according to Clause 9); 4) measurement of unit height and height loss (according to 8.1). 5 Test apparatus 5.1 Floor surface Rigid, horizontal and flat. 5.2 Stops Stops shall be u

35、sed to prevent a complete bed or bed frame from sliding but not tilting and shall be no higher than 12 mm except in cases where the design of the bed necessitates the use of higher stops, in which case the lowest that will prevent the bed from moving, shall be used. 5.3 Standard test bed base for ma

36、ttresses (durability test) Rigid, horizontal, flat and smooth. 5.4 Side support profile If the mattress is not prevented from moving during the durability test by the bed structure, it shall be prevented from moving by two side support profiles as illustrated in Figure 1. The internal distance betwe

37、en the supports (Ws) shall be equal to the width of the mattress measured according to EN 1334, 2 mm. The height of the support profiles (h) shall not exceed one third of the mattress thickness (H), measured according to EN 1334. The length of the support profiles shall be at least equal to the leng

38、th of the test unit. If necessary, mattress pads shall be fixed during the tests by a suitable manner. 1) Intermediate measurements may be carried out under these conditions.
