22、rawers of the unit being tested should bepulled out regardless of whether there are outstops or not.7. Test Procedure7.1 Stability of Unloaded Unit:7.1.1 Position the empty unit on a hard, level, flat surface.The unit shall be level during testing unless specificallydesigned otherwise.7.1.2 Open all

23、 doors to 90 (see Fig. 3) and extend alldrawers or pullout shelves, or both, to the outstop or, in theabsence of such feature, to23 (66 %) of their operationalsliding length (see 3.1.2 and Fig. 1). Open flaps or drop frontsto their horizontal position or as near horizontal as possible.7.2 Stability

24、with Load:7.2.1 Position the empty unit in accordance with 7.1.1.7.2.2 Open one drawer to the outstop or, in the absence ofsuch a feature, to23 (66 %) of its operational sliding length.Allother drawers and doors not undergoing testing shall be in theclosed position unless they must be opened to acce

25、ss othercomponents behind them. Test in accordance with 7.2.4. Closedrawer and repeat until all drawers have been tested. (See Fig.4.)7.2.3 Open one door to 90. All other drawers and doors notundergoing testing shall be in the closed position unless theymust be opened to access other components behi

26、nd them. Testin accordance with 7.2.4. Close door and repeat with anotherdoor until all doors have been tested. (See Fig. 4.)7.2.4 Gradually apply test weights (see Fig. 5) over the frontof each drawer. For odd-shaped drawers, apply test weights tothe front edge that protrudes the farthest (see Fig.

27、 6). For doors,apply test weights to each door so that the outer edge of the testweight is flush with the outermost upper corner of the door (seeFig. 4).7.3 Permanency of Labels and Warnings Testing:7.3.1 A paper label shall be considered permanent if, duringan attempt to remove it without the aid o
