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 specifically designedotherwise.7.1.2 Open all do
25、ors to 90 (see Fig. 3) and extend all drawers or pullout shelves, or both, to the outstop or, in the absence ofsuch feature, to 23 (66 %) of their operational sliding length (see 3.1.2 and Fig. 1).

All other drawers and doors not undergoing testing shall be in the closed position unless they mustbe ope
28、ned to access other components behind them. Test in accordance with 7.2.4. Close door and repeat with another door untilall doors have been tested. (See Fig. 4.)7.2.4 Gradually apply test weights (see Fig. 5) over the front of each drawer. For odd-shaped drawers, apply test weights to thefront edge
29、that protrudes the farthest (see Fig. 6). For doors, apply test weights to each door so that the outer edge of the test weightis flush with the outermost upper corner of the door (see Fig. 4).7.3 Permanency of Labels and Warnings Testing:7.3.1 Apaper label shall be considered permanent if, during an
