EN 14074:2004 (E) 4 1 Scope This document specifies test methods for the determination of strength and durability of moving

21、parts of desks, tables and storage furniture. This document does not apply to high density mechanized filing systems, rotary filing systems or plan files. The tests are intended to simulate normal functional use, as well as misuse that might reasonably be expected to occur. Safety requirements can b

22、e found in EN 14073-2. Assessment of ageing is not included. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (

23、including any amendments) applies. Not applicable no normative references in this document. 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 catch device device, which keeps or pulls a component in place, but does not require a second action i

24、n order to release it, e.g. a magnetic catch or a self-closing-mechanism 3.2 locking mechanism mechanism that limits access to the interior of a unit or a storage element. It requires a key or a combination in order to operate it or to make it possible to operate it. 4 General test conditions 4.1 Pr

25、eliminary preparation The tests specified in this Standard are designed to be applied to an item of furniture that is fully assembled and ready for use. The tests refer to furniture parts with conventional functions. Combination of tests may be necessary to cover the properties of multi-function par

26、ts, e.g. a shelf that can be pulled out on runners shall be tested for strength of shelf supports as well as for strength as an extension element. Before any of the tests are commenced, the item shall be old enough to ensure that it has developed its full strength. EN 14074:2004 (E) 5 The furniture

27、shall be tested as delivered. Ready to Assemble furniture shall be assembled according to the instructions supplied with it. If the furniture can be assembled or combined in different ways, the most adverse combination shall be used for each test. This is also applicable to units that can be combine

28、d with other units or components. Wall or screen mounted units shall be installed according to the manufacturers instructions. Free standing units shall be placed on the floor surface (5.2) with stops (5.4) around each leg or base. The tests shall be carried out in indoor ambient conditions but, if

29、during a test, the atmosphere temperature is outside the range 15 C to 25 C, the maximum and/or minimum temperature shall be recorded in the test report. Tighten any assembly fittings before testing. Further re-tightening shall not take place unless it is specifically required by the manufacturer. 4

30、.2 Test equipment The forces in the static load tests shall be applied sufficiently slowly to ensure that the influence of dynamic load is negligible. Unless otherwise stated, the static loads shall be maintained for (10 2)s. The forces in durability tests shall be applied sufficiently slowly to ens

31、ure that heating does not occur. Unless otherwise stated, the durability loads shall be maintained for (2 1)s. Unless otherwise specified, the tests may be applied by any suitable device because results are dependent only upon correctly applied loads and not upon the apparatus. The test equipment sh

32、all be capable of following the deformations that may occur during the tests. 4.3 Tolerances Unless otherwise stated: forces shall have an accuracy of 5% of the nominal force; dimensions an accuracy of l,0 mm of the nominal dimension; masses an accuracy of 0,5% of the nominal mass; velocities an acc

33、uracy of 5% of the nominal velocity; angles an accuracy of 2 of the nominal angle. The accuracy for the position of loading pads shall be 5 mm. The relationship 10N = 1 kg may be used. 4.4 Sequence of testing The tests shall be carried out on the same unit. The tests shall be carried out on the same

34、 part and in the specified sequence, but it is not necessary to test the different parts of the item in the sequence of the clauses. For any unit fitted with more than one flap, door or extension element that is identical in every respect excluding the direction of opening, it is only necessary to t

35、est one of the relevant flaps, doors or extension elements. For an item fitted with flaps, doors or extension elements which are not identical, the flap, door or extension element producing the most adverse conditions shall be tested. EN 14074:2004 (E) 6 5 Test apparatus 5.1 Obstacles for rolling te

36、st Steel strips, 50 mm wide and 2 mm high with the edges having a radius of 2 mm, 500 mm apart and parallel on the floor surface and perpendicular to the test direction 5.2 Floor surface A rigid, horizontal and flat surface. For the rolling test, a horizontal smooth steel surface. 5.3 Wall Surface A

37、 rigid, vertical and flat surface. 5.4 Stops Devices to prevent the unit from sliding no higher than 12 mm except in cases where the design of the unit necessitates the use of higher stops, in which case the lowest that will prevent the item from sliding shall be used. 5.5 Masses Masses shall not re

38、inforce the structure or redistribute the stresses. If bags with metal shots etc. are used they shall be divided into small compartments to prevent the contents from moving during the tests. Loads shall be evenly distributed unless otherwise stated. Suspended pocket files shall be loaded with typing

39、 paper or a suitable representation of it and where applicable pocket files shall be oriented in the most adverse direction. 5.6 Glass marbles Glass marbles between 10 mm and 15 mm in diameter shall be used for the slam open test for extension elements described in (6.2.3). They shall be in a flexib

40、le bag large enough to allow them to move freely during the test. 5.7 Loading pad A rigid cylindrical object 100mm in diameter (or 50 mm in diameter to be used in limited space), having a flat face with 12 mm radius on the edge. 5.8 Apparatus for slam open/shut of extension elements Apparatus as wel

41、l as calibration instructions are given in annex A. EN 14074:2004 (E) 7 6 Test methods 6.1 Determination of loading of storage parts The volume of extension elements shall be taken as the area of the bottom of the extension element multiplied by the clear height. The clear height is the distance bet

42、ween the top surface of the bottom of the extension element and the lower edge of the front of the extension element of the extension element above, or the structure of the unit. All parts intended for storage purposes shall be uniformly loaded according to Table 1 unless otherwise specified by the

43、manufacturer. Table 1 Loading of storage parts Part Load Shelves kg/dm 1,5 Clothes Rails kg/dm 5,0 Extension elements kg/dm 0,5 Suspended pocket files kg/dm a)4,0 a)Measured perpendicular to the suspended pocket file. Further loads shall be placed on top of free standing units if this is necessary t

44、o prevent tilting. 6.2 Extension elements 6.2.1 Strength of extension elements Load the extension element according to 6.1. Open the extension element to its open stops. If it is not fitted with open stops, and is intended to be taken out, open it to the point at which one-third of its inside length

45、 (depth) remains inside the unit, see figure 1. Apply a vertical force equal to the total mass of the extension element up to a max of 250 N to one top front corner, see figure 1. The total mass is the weight of the extension element plus the load specified in 6.1. If the extension element is forced

46、 out of the unit it shall be re-assembled if necessary and returned to the unit. This shall be recorded in the report. Carry out the test ten times. Before and after the test, inspect the function of the extension element (including the opening and closing forces if required). EN 14074:2004 (E) 8 Di

47、mensions in millimetres Figure 1 Strength of extension elements 6.2.2 Durability test of extension elements Load the extension element according to 6.1. Open and close the extension element without vertical and horizontal support, over its full distance of travel, without forcing the stops, for 50 0

48、00 cycles. The recommended rate is maximum 6 cycles per minute. If an extension element is not equipped with open stops, open it from the fully closed position to the point at which one-third of the inside length (depth) of the extension element remains inside the unit, see figure 2. The operating force shall be applied at the level intended in normal use (i.e. the extension element handle) or, in case of two handles, in the middle between the handles. Ensure that no downwards force is applied to the ext
