DIN EN 16139:2014-03 EN 16139:2013 + AC:2013 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard
28、has been developed as a merging project out of the following European Standards: EN 15373:2007, Furniture Strength, durability and safety Requirements for non-domestic seating EN 13761:2002, Office furniture Visitors chairs All requirements in EN 16139 are taken from these two standards, where the n
29、ew test level 2 reflects test level 3 of EN 15373 and the new test level 1 reflects test level 2 of EN 15373 and the former EN 13761. The correspondent test method standard for this document, EN 1728, was also under revision in the same time period. In order to avoid a further revision of EN 16139 f
30、or the alignment with EN 1728, this project was slowed down until the final draft of EN 1728 was available. DIN EN 16139:2014-03 EN 16139:2013 + AC:2013 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements for the safety, strength and durability of all types of non-domestic seating intended t
31、o be used by adults with a weight of not more than 110 kg, including office visitor chairs. This European Standard does not apply to ranked seating, office work chairs, chairs for educational institutions, outdoor seating and to links for linked seating for which European Standards or drafts exist.
32、It does also not apply to work chairs for industrial use. This European Standard does not include requirements for the durability of upholstery materials, castors, reclining and tilting mechanisms and seat height adjustment mechanisms. This European Standard does not include requirements for the res
33、istance to ageing, degradation and flammability. Annex A contains additional tests. Annex B contains information on the level of test severity in relation to applications. Annex C contains dimensional requirements for office visitor chairs. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or
34、 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 referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 1022, Domestic furniture Seating Determi

36、poses of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 accessible part part to which access can easily be gained by the user when the seating is in its intended configuration of use and for which the probability of unintentional user contact is high 3.2 part accessible during setting
37、 up and folding part to which access can only be gained when setting up and folding the furniture DIN EN 16139:2014-03 EN 16139:2013 + AC:2013 (E) 6 3.3 shear and squeeze points shear and squeeze points exist if the distance between two accessible parts moving relatively to each other is less than 2
38、5 mm and more than 8 mm for adults and children older than 3 years in any position during movement 3.4 castors castors assembly comprising a housing, one or more wheels, an axle and, if required, accessories 3.5 leg rest extension of the seat area intended to support the legs of the sitter Note 1 to
39、 entry: A leg rest may or may not be permanently attached to the seat. 3.6 foot rail component intended as an occasional support for the feet or to assist getting on and off a high chair or stool Note 1 to entry: A foot rail may be a part of the structure of the underframe of a chair or stool. 3.7 v
40、isitor chair seating for one person used in the office environment additional to the office work chair Note 1 to entry: It is used for meetings or consultations as well as for reading, writing, listening and waiting. 3.8 median plane vertical plane passing through the geometric centre of the seat, d
41、ividing the seat from side to side into two equal parts Note 1 to entry: See Figure 1. Key 1 median plane Figure 1 Median plane DIN EN 16139:2014-03 EN 16139:2013 + AC:2013 (E) 7 4 Safety 4.1 General The seating shall be so designed as to minimise the risk of injury to the user. All accessible parts
42、 (3.1) shall be so designed that physical injury and damage are avoided. This requirement is met when: a) accessible corners are rounded or chamfered; b) the edges of the seat, back rest and arm rests which are in contact with the user when sitting in the chair are rounded or chamfered; c) the edges
43、 of handles are rounded or chamfered in the direction of the force applied; d) all other edges are free from burrs and rounded or chamfered; e) the ends of hollow components are closed or capped. Movable and adjustable parts shall be designed so that injuries and inadvertent operation are avoided. I
44、t shall not be possible for any load bearing part of the seating to come loose unintentionally. All parts which are lubricated to assist sliding shall be designed to protect users from lubricant stains when in normal use. 4.2 Shear and squeeze points 4.2.1 Shear and squeeze points when setting up an
45、d folding Unless 4.2.2 or 4.2.3 are applicable, shear and squeeze points that are created only during setting up and folding, including tipping seat actions, are acceptable, because the user can be assumed to be in control of his/her movements and to be able to cease applying the force immediately u
46、pon experiencing pain. The edges of parts moving relative to each other and creating shear and squeeze points shall be as specified in 4.1. 4.2.2 Shear and squeeze points under influence of powered mechanism With the exception of tipping seats there shall be no shear and squeeze points created by parts of the seating operated by powered mechanisms, e.g. springs and gas lifts. 4.2.3 Shear and squeeze points during use There shall be no shear and squeeze points created by forces applied during normal use as well as during normal movements and actions, see Table 1. 4.3 Stability 4.3
