33、es, but is not limited to: the exposed edges and corners of storage units to which the user has access when the doors, drawers and extension elements are closed, the corners and edges of handles.3.2parts accessible during setting up and foldingparts to which access can only be gained when setting up

39、a single unit is supplied for test all the safety tests (5) shall be carried out on the same sample and in the order in which they are listed in this standard. Tests for strength and durability (6) may be carried out on a second sample.4.2 Range of unitsFor a range of units featuring similar constru
40、ction and sharing hardware, or single units with features utilising identical hardware and fixings (e.g. a unit with different size drawers), selected tests shall be carried out on the worst case units/components as detailed in Annex B.The tests shall be carried out in the order in which they are li
41、sted in this standard.If one unit or component within a range of products does not satisfy the requirements of this standard then compliance for the full range cannot be claimed.4.3 TolerancesUnless otherwise stated, the following tolerances are applicable: Forces: 5 % of the nominal force;Forces ma
42、y be replaced by masses. The relationship 10 N = 1 kg may be used. Velocities: 5 % of the nominal velocity; Masses: 1 % of the nominal mass; Dimensions: 1 mm of the nominal dimension; Angles: 2oof the nominal angle.NOTE For the purposes of uncertainty measurement, test results are not considered to
43、be adversely affected when the above tolerances are met.BS EN 16121:2013EN 16121:2013 (E)85 Safety requirements5.1 Principles of safety requirements5.1.1 GeneralSafety requirements are based upon the knowledge that storage furniture and its parts are likely to cause injury only when they are heavy a
44、nd fall through a significant distance. This is possible if floor standing units overbalance, wall or screen mounted units become detached, or heavy parts become detached from units.Therefore, the tests contained in Table 4 are only considered to affect safety when: the height of the centre of gravi
45、ty of the unit, or any part, is 650 mm above the floor and the total mass is 10 kg,or when the potential energy (3.9) of the unit, or any part, is 65 Nm and the height of the centre of gravity of the unit, or any part, is 650 mm.5.1.2 Determination of centre of gravityThe centre of gravity of a comp
46、onent or unit shall be taken as the geometric centre of that unit, except in the case of extension elements, where the geometric centre of the usable volume shall be used.The height of the centre of gravity above the floor shall be measured for storage furniture or their components when installed ac
47、cording to the manufacturers instructions. Levelling devices shall be set at their middle position.Height adjustable components shall be placed in their highest position.All wall or top hanging units, or components thereof, are considered to have their centre of gravity more than650 mm above the flo
48、or.5.1.3 Determination of total massThe total mass is the mass of the component or unit plus the mass supported by it.Unless the component is conspicuously and durably marked by the manufacturer with a maximum load, the mass of the contents shall be determined according to Table 1, which specifies m
49、ass per unit area for shelves and the mass per unit volume for extension elements, baskets and trays, etc.The volume of fixed baskets and trays shall be taken as the volume contained below their top edge.The volume of extension elements shall be taken as the area of its bottom multiplied by the clear height (3.6).Table 1 Load to determine total mass and load applied to all components other than those undergoing test, excluding stability testsPart Unit LoadHorizontal surfaces, tops, shelves, door baskets, et
