33、urkey and the United Kingdom. DIN EN 16122:2012-10 EN 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 including domestic kitchen furniture. It does not app
34、ly 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 include only the cabinets and the parts used for attachment.
35、 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) contains details of test equipment for the slam open/
36、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. For undated references, the latest edition of the refe

40、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 structure 3.7 interlock device which restrains the op
41、ening 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 activate it 3.9 locking mechanism mechanism that

The unit(s)/component(s) shall be assembled and/or configure
45、d 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. Fittings shall be tightened before testing and s
46、hall 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 near as possible to 5 mm from the fully open p
47、osition 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 specified by the manufacturer, the sample f
48、or 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. If during a test the temperature is outside of the range of 15 C to 25 C, the
