This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of

22、 an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by June 2006. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European

23、Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

24、5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for storage units (see 3.1) used in laboratories. This European Standard specifies strength, durability and safety requirements to prevent serious injury through normal functional use, as well as misuse that might reasonably be

25、 expected to occur. Safety, depending on the structure of the building, is not included e.g. the strength of wall hanging cabinets includes only the cabinet and its parts. The wall and the fixing in the wall are not included. It should be understood that the tests do not ensure that structural failu

26、re will not eventually occur as a result of habitual misuse or after an excessively long period of service. Assessment of ageing, degradation and the heating effect of appliances are not included nor are ergonomic aspects or resistance to fire. 2 Normative references The following referenced documen

29、pean Standard, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 storage unit item of furniture consisting of cupboards and/or shelves and/or drawers, intended for the storage of laboratory materials and equipment 3.2 free-standing unit unit not attached to the structure of the building 3.3 built-in un

30、it unit attached to the structure of the building, directly or via other units 3.4 wall-mounted unit unit supported entirely by one or more walls of the building EN 14727:2005 (E) 6 3.5 top mounted unit unit supported by the ceiling 3.6 mobile unit unit equipped with glides, wheels or castors 3.7 la

31、tching device: device which automatically holds a door in the fully open or fully closed position 3.8 locking mechanism device which prevents a door from opening once it has been activated by a deliberate movement 4 General test conditions 4.1 Preliminary preparation The furniture shall be tested as

32、 delivered. If of knock-down type, it shall be assembled according to instructions supplied with the furniture. If the furniture can be assembled or combined in different ways, the most adverse combination shall be used for each test. The same is valid for units that can be combined with other units

33、 or components. The test unit shall be stored in indoor ambient conditions for at least one week immediately prior to testing. Any deviation from this procedure shall be stated in the test report. Except for the deflection of shelves, the tests shall be carried out in indoor ambient conditions, but

34、if during a test the temperature is outside the range 15 C to 25 C, the maximum and/or minimum temperature shall be recorded in the test report. The tests for the deflection of shelves shall be carried out at a relative humidity of 45 % to 55 %, If during a test the relative humidity is outside this

35、 range, the maximum and/or minimum shall be recorded in the test report. Where applicable, units shall be mounted with the fixing points specified by the manufacturer, using fixings which will not fail during the tests. Tighten any assembly fittings before testing. The tests refer to furniture parts

36、 with conventional function. Combination of tests may be necessary to cover the properties of multi-function components, e.g. a shelf that can be pulled out on runners shall be tested for strength of shelf supports and tested for strength of the runners. 4.2 Test equipment The forces in the static l

37、oad tests shall be applied sufficiently slowly to ensure that dynamic loads are negligible. Operation tests shall be carried out sufficiently slowly to ensure that kinetic heating does not occur. Unless otherwise specified, the test loads may be applied by any suitable device because results are not

38、 dependent upon the apparatus, provided the test equipment does not restrict deformation under load or tipping except when specifically required. EN 14727:2005 (E) 7 4.3 Tolerances Unless otherwise stated the following tolerances are applicable: forces 5 % of the nominal force; velocities 5 % of the

39、 nominal velocity; masses 1,0 % of the nominal mass; dimensions 1,0 mm on the nominal dimension; Angles 2 of the nominal angle. The accuracy for the positioning of loading pads shall be 5;mm. If masses are used instead of forces, the relationship 10 N = 1 kg shall be used. 4.4 Sequence of testing Al

40、l the tests specified for a component, e.g. doors, shall be carried out in the sequence laid down in this European Standard, but it is not necessary to test the different components of the article e.g. doors or drawers in the sequence of the clauses. All tests specified for a component part and/or u

41、nit shall be carried out on the same sample. 5 Test apparatus 5.1 Test floor A rigid, horizontal and flat surface. 5.2 Test wall A rigid, vertical and plane surface. 5.3 Stops Stops to prevent the article from sliding but not tilting, not higher than 12 mm except in cases where the design of the ite

42、m necessitates the use of higher stops, in which case the lowest that will prevent the item from sliding shall be used. 5.4 Loading pad A rigid cylindrical object, 50 mm in diameter, having a flat face with 12 mm radius on the edge. 5.5 Apparatus for slam open of extension elements Two examples for

43、a suitable apparatus as well as calibration instructions are given in annex A. 5.6 Dead loads Masses shall be designed so that they do not reinforce the structure or redistribute the stresses. Bags shall be divided into small compartments to prevent the contents from moving during the test. EN 14727

44、:2005 (E) 8 5.7 Glass marbles Marbles between 10 mm and 15 mm in diameter shall be used during the test described in 7.5 (slam open test of drawers). They shall be in a flexible bag large enough to allow them to move during the test. 5.8 Impact plate A 1,7 kg impact plate, with a steel plate of 200

45、mm -109 mm -10 mm faced with a 3 mm thick layer of rubber with a hardness of (85 10) IRHD according to ISO 7619-2. 6 General safety requirements Components or parts of the storage units and worktops of storage units with which the user may come into contact during normal use shall have no burrs and/

46、or sharp edges, nor shall there be open-ended tubes. To avoid the hazard of a pinching or scissoring action between moving parts accessible during normal use the distance between such parts shall be kept to less than 8 mm or greater than 25 mm in any position during movement, with the exception of d

47、oors (including hinges) and extension elements (including runners), but including the distance between handles and other parts. In order to avoid pinching points for feet the safety height for vertically moving units shall be at least 100 mm from the floor. All roll front doors sliding vertically sh

48、all not move by themselves from any position higher than 50 mm measured from the closed position if this can cause any injury. All extension elements whose mass including contents exceeds 10 kg (see table 1) shall have effective open stops, i.e. they shall resist being pulled out of the carcase once

49、 by a force of 200 N applied to the handle of the loaded drawer or they shall be supplied with a label on the drawers front, that the drawer can easily be pulled out. Any external, vertical glass component 0.1 m2in area, where the smallest dimension is greater than or equal to 200 mm and any part of which is less than 900 mm above the floor, shall not break when tested according to EN 14072, when using a drop height of 60 mm or shall break as specified in EN 14072:2003, clause 7, C2 or C3. At least two of the wheels or castors of movable units sh
