BS EN 527-2:2016EN 527-2:2016 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies safety, strength and durability requirements for work tables and desks for office tasks to be undertaken in a seated
19、, a sit-stand or standing position. It does not apply to other tables in the office area, which are covered by EN 15372. Annex A (informative) contains a test for the deflection of tables tops. Annex B (informative) contains an example of calculation of the stiffness of the structure. 2 Normative re

For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies
21、. EN 1730:2012, Furniture - Tables - Test methods for the determination of stability, strength and durability 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes 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 table
22、 is in its intended configuration of use and for which the probability of unintentional user contact is high 3.2 part accessible during setting up and folding part to which access can only be gained when setting up and folding the table 3.3 shear and squeeze point gap which can cause harm to fingers
23、 and which occurs when two accessible parts move relative to each other 3.4 overturn event at which a table pivots to a point beyond which the table continues to fall 4 Safety requirements 4.1 General The table shall be designed so as to minimize the risk of injury to the user. All parts of the tabl
24、e with which the user comes into contact during intended use, shall be designed so that physical injury and damage are avoided. These requirements are fulfilled when: a) all accessible edges and corners are free from burrs and rounded or chamfered; b) the edges and corners of the top surfaces are ch
25、amfered not less than 1 mm by 1 mm or rounded with a radius of not less than 2 mm; BS EN 527-2:2016EN 527-2:2016 (E) 5 c) the ends of feet and tubular components are closed or capped. Movable and adjustable parts shall be designed so that injuries and inadvertent operation are avoided. It shall not
26、be possible for any load bearing part of the table 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 and folding Unle
27、ss 4.2.2 or 4.2.3 are applicable, shear and squeeze points that are created only during setting up and folding 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 upon experiencing pain. The edges of parts movin
28、g 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 mechanisms There shall be no shear and squeeze points which close to less than 25 mm unless they are always less than 7 mm created by parts of the ta
29、ble operated by powered mechanisms, i.e. springs, gas lifts and motorized systems. 4.2.3 Shear and squeeze points during use There shall be no shear and squeeze points which close to less than 25 mm unless they are always less than 7 mm created by forces applied during normal use or created by the u
30、ser during normal movements and actions, e.g. attempting to move the table. 4.3 Stability requirements The table shall not overturn when tested according to tests 10 and 11 of Table 1. 4.4 Structural safety requirements The structural safety requirements are fulfilled when the requirements according
31、 to 5.2 are fulfilled. 5 Strength and durability 5.1 General Tables shall be tested according to Table 1 and following the order listed in Table 1. With the exception of test 9 Drop test, work tables supplied with storage features shall be tested with the following loads in the storage feature: exte
