ISO 7170:2021 PDF Download

When storage units are fully assembled and prepared for use, including both movable and non-movable components, ISO 7170:2021 is a standard that describes test procedures for assessing their strength, durability, and stability. These testing procedures are used to make sure the storage furniture can resist the intended use, any potential stresses, and specified performance standards.

It is significant to note that ISO 7170:2021 does not provide any acceptance criteria for the storage containers' strength, durability, or stability. Instead, the standard provides proposed loads, cycles, and forces in Annex B, which can be utilized depending on how the furniture is specifically applicable. As a result, based on the intended purpose and specifications of the storage units, manufacturers, designers, and users can choose and establish their own acceptance criteria.
