DIN EN 15828:2011-01 EN 15828:2010 (E) 4 Introduction The aim of this European Standard is to provide furniture manufacturers, designers and developers with comparable information regarding the performance of all types of hinges and their components. DIN EN 15828:201
23、1-01 EN 15828:2010 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies test methods and requirements for the strength and durability of all hinges, stays and systems which include hinges and stays pivoting on a horizontal axis and their components for all fields of application. It does not apply to syste
24、ms intended for storage functions. This standard does not apply to electrically actuated systems. The tests consist of the application of loads, forces and velocities simulating normal functional use, as well as misuse, that might reasonably be expected to occur. With the exception of the corrosion
25、test in 6.4, the tests are designed to evaluate properties without regard to materials, design/construction or manufacturing processes. The strength and durability tests only relate to the hinges and the parts used for the attachment, e.g. mounting plates and screws. The strength and durability test
26、s are carried out in a test frame with specified properties. The test results can only be used as a guide to the performance of a piece of furniture. The test results are only valid for the hinges tested. These results may be used to represent the performance of production models provided that the t
27、ested model is representative of the production model. With the exception of corrosion, ageing and the influence of heat and humidity are not included. Annex A (normative): requirements for product information. Annex B (normative): loads and cycles. 2 Normative references The following referenced do
28、cuments are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 320, Fibreboards Determination of resistance to axial withdrawal of screw
29、s EN 323, Wood-based panels Determination of density EN ISO 6270-2, Paints and varnishes Determination of resistance to humidity Part 2: Procedure for exposing test specimens in condensation-water atmospheres (ISO 6270-2:2005) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following
30、terms and definitions apply. 3.1 catch device device which keeps or pulls a flap in place, but does not require a second action in order to release it, e.g. a magnetic catch or a self-closing or self-opening mechanism DIN EN 15828:2011-01 EN 15828:2010 (E) 6 3.2 top hinged flap flap which opens upwa
31、rds and which consists of one or more parts 3.3 bottom hinged flap flap which opens downwards and which consists of one or more parts 3.4 damper mechanism which stops the movement of a flap gently 3.5 stay active or passive mechanism which can hold and guide a front, and which may include a braking/
32、opening mechanism and/or a hinge 3.6 flap hinges active or passive mechanism which can hold and guide a front, and which may include a braking/opening mechanism and/or a stay 4 General test conditions 4.1 Preliminary preparation The hinges/stays shall be assembled/mounted/adjusted according to the i
33、nstructions supplied with it. If mounting, assembly or adjustment instructions are not supplied, the most adverse configuration shall be used and the mounting or assembly method shall be recorded in the test report. Fittings shall be tightened before testing and shall not be re-tightened unless spec
34、ifically required in the manufacturers instructions. If the configuration is to be changed to produce the worst-case conditions, this shall be recorded in the test report. The tests shall be carried out in indoor ambient conditions at a temperature between 15 C and 25 C. If during a test the tempera
35、ture is outside of the range of 15 C to 25 C, the maximum and/or minimum temperature shall be recorded in the test report. Hinges which include structural hardware parts made of hygroscopic plastic materials, e.g. polyamide shall be conditioned at (23 5) C and a relative humidity of (50 5) % for sev
36、en days before testing. NOTE For accelerating the conditioning process, EN ISO 1110 1 may be used. In the case of designs not addressed in the test procedures, the tests shall be carried out as far as possible as described, and deviations from the test procedure recorded in the test report. Before b
37、eginning the testing, visually inspect the hinges and components thoroughly. Record any defects so that they are not assumed to have been caused by the tests. Carry out measurements if specified. 4.2 Test equipment Unless otherwise specified, the tests may be applied by any suitable device, because
38、results are not dependent upon the apparatus. The equipment shall not inhibit deflection of the test flap, i.e. it shall be able to move so that it will allow the deflection of the test flap during testing. DIN EN 15828:2011-01 EN 15828:2010 (E) 7 4.3 Application of forces The forces in the static l
39、oad tests shall be applied sufficiently slowly to ensure that negligible dynamic force is applied. Unless otherwise specified, each force shall be maintained for not less than 10 s and not more than 15 s. The forces in durability tests shall be applied at a rate to ensure that excessive heating does
40、 not occur. The forces may be replaced by masses. The relation 10 N = 1 kg shall be used for this purpose. 4.4 Tolerances Unless otherwise stated, the following tolerances are applicable: Forces: 5 % of the nominal force; Velocities: 5 % of the nominal velocity; Masses: 1 % of the nominal mass; Dime
41、nsions: 1 mm of the nominal dimension; Angles: 2 of the nominal angle. The accuracy for the positioning of forces shall be 5 mm. 4.5 Sequence of testing The tests shall be carried out in the same sequence as the clauses are numbered in this standard. If the clause sequence is not followed, the seque
42、nce shall be recorded in the test report. 4.6 Inspection and assessment of results Before and after completion of each test, carry out the inspection as specified, after removing any loads and after using adjustment devices, if available. Record any changes that have taken place since the initial in
43、spection. The inspection shall include at least the following: a) the fracture of any component or joint; b) the loosening of any joint intended to be rigid, which can be demonstrated by hand pressure; c) the deformation or wear of any part or component such that its functioning is impaired; d) the
44、loosening of any means of fixing components; e) any impaired function of a component or part. 5 Test apparatus 5.1 Masses Masses shall be designed so that they do not reinforce the structure or re-distribute the stresses. DIN EN 15828:2011-01 EN 15828:2010 (E) 8 5.2 Test frame The tests specified in
45、 6.2 and 6.3 shall be carried out in a test frame (see Figures 1 and 2), which is so constructed that the deformation of the test frame under the applied load is no more than 1 mm. Hinges and stays for wooden flaps shall be mounted on particle board, 5.3, unless otherwise specified. Hinges and stays
46、 for other materials, e.g. glass, metal or plastic shall be mounted according to the manufacturers instructions. The position of hinges, stays and components on the flap and the test frame as well as the size and weight of the flap shall be as specified by the manufacturer, see Annex A. In cases whe
47、re the flap parameters (e.g. height, width, mass) are not specified by the manufacturer, the tests may be carried out using the standard flap sizes specified in Table B.1 (A, B, C or D).
