Office furniture - Storage furniture - Part 3: Test methods for the determination of stability and strength of the structure
Also Known As:
The testing methods used to determine the stability and strength of office storage furniture are covered in the DIN EN 14073-3 standard. Various styles of storage furniture, such as free-standing units, screen-mounted units, and wall-mounted units, are covered by this standard. These tests are performed to make sure the furniture is structurally sound and capable of withstanding the typical loads and strains that it will experience in an office setting.
The standard specifies particular test procedures that must be used to evaluate the furniture's stability and strength. In these tests, the furniture is put under a variety of pressures and strains, including dynamic loads, horizontal loads, and vertical loads. For the furniture to successfully pass these tests, it must adhere to a set of performance standards.
Manufacturers can prove that their office storage furniture is strong, dependable, and secure for use in work environments by adhering to this standard. This gives customers peace of mind and reduces the danger of accidents or injuries brought on by unstable furniture by guaranteeing that the furniture won't collapse or become unstable under typical usage conditions.
