DIN Standards Committee Timber and Furniture

Overview

This European Standard specifies test methods for the verification of the loading capacity of all types of wall attachment devices for storage furniture and their components of all areas of application. It does not apply to devices intended to prevent the overturning of storage furniture. The tests consist of the application of loads and forces simulating normal functional use, as well as misuse that might reasonably be expected to occur. With the exception of the corrosion test, the tests are designed to evaluate properties without regard to materials, design/construction or manufacturing processes. The test can be applied to the part attached to the furniture alone or to the combination of the part attached to the furniture and the part attached to the wall. The attachment into the wall is not included. The strength tests are carried out in a test frame with specified properties. The test results are only valid for the devices tested. These results may be used to represent the performance of production models, provided that the tested model is representative of the production model. With the exception of the corrosion test, ageing and influences of temperature and humidity are not included. The body responsible for this standard is NA 042-05-06 AA "Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für Möbelbeschläge, SpA CEN/TC 207/WG 8" ("Requirements and test methods for hardware in furniture, mirror committee CEN/TC 207/WG 8") at DIN Standards Committee Timber and Furniture (NHM).
