Hardware for Furniture - Strength and Loading Capacity of Shelf Supports
Also Known As:
The strength and carrying capacity of shelf supports used in furniture are the main topics of the DIN EN 16337 standard. It offers test procedures to confirm that shelf supports can bear vertical loads and forces experienced in typical and inappropriate conditions. The shelf support systems attached to the ceiling are not covered by this standard.
The standard's tests assess the shelf supports' qualities, including their components and attachment to cabinets and walls. These tests don't take into account the components, designs, construction, or manufacturing procedures. However, these functions are not covered by this standard if the shelf support also performs connecting or extending duties.
As long as the tested model closely corresponds to the production model, the test results obtained are particular to the shelf supports tested and may be utilized as a representation of the performance of production models. With the exception of the corrosion test, it should be emphasized that the test results are simply a reference to the performance of the shelf supports and do not take into account elements like corrosion, aging, or the effects of temperature and humidity.
