BS EN 12721:2009+A1:2013 PDF Download

An approach for assessing the capacity of furniture surfaces to endure exposure to moist heat is provided by the standard BS EN 12721:2009+A1:2013. Whatever the material, this standard is applicable to all rigid furniture surfaces. 

The standard specifies a precise test method to ascertain the wet heat resistance of furniture surfaces. It outlines the circumstances under which the test should be carried out and offers instructions for executing the test. In order to simulate real-world situations where furniture may come into contact with liquids or extremely high levels of moisture, the test entails exposing the furniture surface to a regulated degree of wet heat.

This standard's adherence guarantees that furniture surfaces can resist moist heat exposure without experiencing serious degradation or damage. This standard can be used as a reference point by manufacturers and designers to evaluate the strength and quality of furniture surfaces, ensuring that they satisfy the requirements for the intended application.
