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 locking mechanisms. NOTE Examples of typical
20、locking mechanisms are given in CEN/TR 16015. DIN EN 16014:2011-10 EN 16014:2011 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies test methods and requirements for the strength and durability of all types of locking mechanisms for furniture and their components for all fields of application. This Euro
21、pean Standard does not apply to latching mechanisms. The tests consist of the application of loads, forces simulating normal functional use, as well as misuse that might reasonably be expected to occur. With the exception of the corrosion test in 6.5, the tests are designed to evaluate properties wi
22、thout regard to materials, design/construction or manufacturing processes. The strength and durability tests only relate to the locking mechanisms and their components and the parts used for the attachment, e.g. screws. The strength and durability tests are carried out in particle board with specifi
23、ed 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 locking mechanisms and their components tested. These results may be used to represent the performance of production models provided that the tested model i
24、s representative of the production model. With the exception of corrosion, ageing and influences of heat and humidity is not included. Annex A (normative): Product information system. Annex B (normative): Test parameters. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable fo

27、llowing terms and definitions. 3.1 locking mechanism mechanism that limits access to the interior of a unit or a storage element NOTE It requires a key or a combination in order to activate it or to make it possible to activate it.

29、 preparation The locking mechanism shall be assembled/mounted according to the instructions supplied with it. If mounting or assembly 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 b
30、e tightened before testing and shall not be re-tightened unless specifically required in the manufacturers instructions. If the configuration must be changed to produce the worst-case conditions, this shall be recorded in the test report. For testing a range of related locks, only worst case(s) need
31、 to be tested. The tests shall be carried out in indoor ambient conditions at a temperature between 15 C and 25 C. If 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. Locking mechanisms which include s
32、tructural 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 at least 7 days before testing. If a test cannot be carried out as specified in this standard, e.g. because a loading pad cannot be used for the app
33、lication of a force due to the design of a product, the test shall be carried out as far as possible as specified. Before beginning the testing, visually inspect the lock thoroughly. Record any defects so that they are not assumed to have been caused by the tests. Carry out measurements when specifi
34、ed. 4.2 Test equipment The equipment shall not inhibit deformation of the lock, i.e. it shall be able to move so that it can follow the deformation of the lock during testing. All loading pads shall be capable of pivoting in relation to the direction of the applied force. The pivot point shall be as
35、 close as practically possible to the load surface. 4.3 Application of forces The forces in the static load 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 th
36、an 15 s. The forces in durability tests shall be applied at a rate to ensure that excessive heating does not occur. DIN EN 16014:2011-10 The forces may be replaced by masses. The relation 10 N = 1 kg shall be used for this purpose. EN 16014:2011 (E) 6 The forces may be replaced by masses. The relati
37、on 10 N = 1 kg shall be used for this purpose. 4.4 Tolerances (allowed variation from the nominal values) 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 % of the nominal mass
38、; Dimensions: 1 mm of the nominal dimension; Angles: 2 of the nominal angle. NOTE For the purposes of uncertainty measurement, test results are not considered to be adversely affected when the above tolerances are met. 4.5 Test sequence The tests shall be carried out in the same sequence as the clau
39、ses are numbered in this standard. If the clause sequence is not followed, the sequence 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 using adjustment devices, if available. Record
40、 any changes that have taken place since the initial inspection. 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 c
41、omponent such that its functioning is impaired; d) the loosening of any means of fixing components; e) any impairment of a component or part. 5 Test apparatus 5.1 Loading pad Type A: rigid cylinder with a flat face; the diameter of which shall be 2/3 of the smallest width or diameter of the lock tes
42、ted; Type B: rigid cylinder, (5,0 0,1) mm diameter, with a hemispherical face; Type C: test bolt identical in shape and form to the part belonging to the locking mechanism. DIN EN 16014:2011-10 EN 16014:2011 (E) 7 5.2 Test plates The tests specified in 6.2 and 6.3 shall be carried out in a test plat
43、e, which is so constructed that the deformation at the measurement points under the applied load is no more than 1 mm. The test plate shall be at least 50 mm larger than the lock to be tested. Unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer, the locks shall be mounted on a 19 mm particle board, see 5
44、.3. 5.3 Particle board properties The properties of the particle board shall be as specified in Table 1.
