24、ld by UNI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by January 2013. Attention is drawn to the possibility
25、that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound
26、 to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal,
27、 Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom. BS EN 16122:2012EN 16122:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies tests methods for the determination of strength, durability and stability for all types of domestic and non-domestic storage furniture
28、 including domestic kitchen furniture. It does not apply to office, industrial, catering equipment and retail storage, nor to industrial storage lockers. Strength and durability tests do not assess the structure of the building (for example the strength of wall hanging cabinets); rather, they includ
29、e only the cabinets and the parts used for attachment. The wall and the wall attachments are not included. Requirements for safety, strength and durability can be found in other European Standards. Assessment of the effects of ageing, degradation and flammability is not included. Annex A (normative)
30、 contains details of test equipment for the slam open/shut testing of extension elements. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.
31、For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

32、ng terms and definitions apply. 3.1 catch device device which keeps or pulls a component in place but does not require a second action in order to release it EXAMPLE A magnetic catch or a self-closing-mechanism. 3.2 clear height unobstructed height above the top of the bottom surface, or the structu
33、re of the unit Note 1 to entry: For example, the top of the extension element below and the lower edge of the extension element above. See Figure 1.

34、gs the component to a stop 3.4 extension element components that can be pulled out and pushed in EXAMPLE Drawers, suspended pocket files, keyboard trays. 3.5 flap horizontally hinged door, which opens upwards or downwards 3.6 free standing unit unit not intended to be attached to a load bearing stru
35、cture 3.7 interlock device which restrains the opening of more than one extension element at a time 3.8 latching mechanism mechanism which retains an extension element or a door in the closed position and which requires a second action to release it and may require a key or a combination in order to
36、 activate it 3.9 locking mechanism mechanism that limits access to the interior of a unit or a storage element and that requires a key or a combination in order to activate it or to make it possible to activate it 3.10 stay hardware component usually used to hold a flap or door in the open position

38、rage unit and used independently 3.14 levelling device adjustable device intended to keep the item of furniture perpendicular to the floor EXAMPLE Adjustable feet or similar. 4 General test conditions 4.1 Preliminary preparation The unit(s)/component(s) shall be tested as delivered. The unit(s)/comp
39、onent(s) shall be assembled and/or configured according to the instructions supplied. Unless otherwise stated, the most adverse configuration shall be used for each test. If mounting or assembly instructions are not supplied, the mounting or assembly method shall be recorded in the test report. Fitt
40、ings shall be tightened before testing and shall not be re-tightened unless specifically required in the manufacturers instructions. If the configuration needs to be changed in order to produce the worst-case conditions, this shall be recorded in the test report. Levelling devices shall be set as ne
41、ar as possible to 5 mm from the fully open position whilst ensuring the unit is perpendicular to the floor. A combination of tests may be necessary to cover the properties of multifunction components; e.g. a receding door shall be tested both as a sliding door and as a pivoted door. Unless otherwise
42、 specified by the manufacturer, the sample for test shall be stored in indoor ambient conditions for at least 24 hours immediately prior to testing. Except for the deflection of shelves (see below), the tests shall be carried out in indoor ambient conditions at a temperature between 15 C and 25 C. I
43、f during a test the temperature is outside of the range of 15 C to 25 C, the maximum and/or minimum temperature shall be recorded in the test report. The test for deflection of shelves (6.1.4), except metal, stone and glass shelves, shall be carried out at a relative humidity of 45 % to 55 %. If dur
44、ing a test the relative humidity is outside this range, the maximum and/or minimum shall be recorded in the test report. If a test cannot be carried out as specified in this Standard, e.g. because a loading pad cannot be used for the application of a force due to the design of a product, the test sh
45、all be carried out as closely as possible to that specified. Before beginning the testing, visually inspect the unit thoroughly. Record any defects so that they are not assumed to have been caused by the tests. Carry out measurements, if specified. During testing, the unit shall be placed on the flo
46、or and levelled, unless otherwise specified. All tests specified for a particular component shall be carried out on the same sample. BS EN 16122:2012EN 16122:2012 (E) 8 4.2 Application of forces The test forces in the static load tests shall be applied sufficiently slowly to ensure that negligible d
47、ynamic force is applied. Unless otherwise specified, each specified force shall be maintained for not less than 10 s and not more than 15 s. The test forces in durability tests shall be applied at a rate to ensure that excessive heating does not occur. Unless otherwise specified, each test force sha
48、ll be maintained for (2 1) s. The forces may be replaced by masses. The relationship 10 N = 1 kg shall be used. 4.3 Tolerances Unless otherwise stated, the following tolerances are applicable to the test equipment: Forces: 5 % of the nominal force; Velocities: 5 % of the nominal velocity; Masses: 1
49、% of the nominal mass; Dimensions: 1 mm of the nominal dimension; Angles: 2 of the nominal angle. The accuracy for the positioning of loading pads and impact plates shall be 5 mm. NOTE For the purposes of uncertainty measurement, test results are not considered to be adversely affected when the above tolerances are met. 4.4 Prevention of movement duri
