14、 prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 207 “Furniture”, the secretariat of which is held by UNI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2017, and conflicting national standards
15、 shall be withdrawn at the latest by September 2017. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 581-1:2006. Compared
16、 to EN 581-1:2006, the main modifications are: clarification of the definitions (camping, domestic and contract use) taken from Annex B and put in Clause 3 (so Annex B will be superseded), test method is deleted, edges and corners are modified to take into account accessible part during use (accessi
17、ble parts for seating and tables are defined), tubular components are defined, requirements for gaps and holes removed, addition of an Annex B (informative) as a rationale to explain the risks covered with requirements in Clause 5. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national stan
18、dards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, L

BS EN 581-1:2017EN 581-1:2017 (E) 4 1 Scope This part of EN 581 specifies the general safety requirements for outdoor seating and tables for campin
20、g, domestic and contract for use by adults, without regard to materials, design/construction or manufacturing processes. It does not apply to seating for spectator facilities. It does not include requirements for the durability of upholstery materials, castors, reclining and tilting mechanisms and s
21、eat height adjustment mechanisms. Mechanical safety requirements are covered by EN 581-2 for seating and EN 581-3 for tables. Annex A (informative) is a schematic presentation of requirements and conditions concerning shear and squeeze points. Annex B (informative) is a rationale concerning fingers
22、injury. 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 referenced document (including a
23、ny amendments) applies. EN 581-2:2015, Outdoor furniture - Seating and tables for camping, domestic and contract use - Part 2: Mechanical safety requirements and test methods for seating EN 581-3:2007, Outdoor furniture - Seating and tables for camping, domestic and contract use - Part 3: Mechanical
24、 safety requirements and test methods for tables 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 automatic locking mechanism mechanism which engages without guidance by the user and prevents unintended movement 3.2 shear and squeeze point she
25、ar and squeeze points exist if the distance between two accessible parts moving relative to each other can be more or equal than 7 mm and less or equal than 18 mm in any position during movement 3.3 outdoor furniture for contract use outdoor furniture intended for non-private use in places with publ
26、ic access 3.4 outdoor furniture for domestic use outdoor furniture intended for private use in places without public access 3.5 outdoor furniture for camping use outdoor furniture foldable or knock-down and light-weight, intended for use in connection with camping and travelling BS EN 581-1:2017EN 5
27、81-1:2017 (E) 5 4 Test probes There shall be three cylindrical probes with diameters of 00,17+mm, 0,1012 +mm and 0,1018 +mm with hemispherical ends, see Figure 1. Key 1 00,17+mm, 0,1012 +mm and 0,1018 +mm Figure 1 Measuring probes 5 Safety requirements 5.1 General In order to avoid physical injury w
28、hen the product is in its intended position of use, all edges and corners shall be rounded, chamfered or otherwise protected. This applies to: Seating: Edges of the seat, back rest and arm rests and any part of the bottom surface of the seat at a distance less than 120 mm from any edge, where a fing
29、er can commonly access; Tables: Table tops, any part of the underside of the top surface at a distance less than 500 mm from any edge below the table, where a knee and/or an arm can commonly access. All other parts shall be free from burrs, sharp edges and sharp points. Movable and adjustable parts
30、shall be designed so that injuries and inadvertent operation are avoided. It shall not be possible for any load bearing part of the furniture 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. 5
31、.2 Tubular components There shall be no accessible holes in the ends of tubular components with a diameter between 7 mm to 12 mm and with a depth more or equal to 10 mm. The bottom of tubular legs in contact with the floor shall be closed or capped, however, holes in them are allowed as long as they
32、 are not between 7 and 12 mm. These requirements shall be assessed using the test probes (Clause 4). 5.3 Shear and squeeze points 5.3.1 Shear and squeeze points when erecting, adjusting and folding away Unless 5.3.2 or 5.3.3 are applicable, shear and squeeze points that are created only during erect
33、ing, adjusting or folding away are acceptable providing the user can be assumed to be in control of his/her movements and to be able to cease applying the force immediately on experiencing pain. 5.3.2 Shear and squeeze points under the influence of powered mechanisms There shall be no accessible she
34、ar and squeeze points created by parts of the furniture operated by powered mechanisms, e.g. mechanical springs and gas lifts. This requirement shall be assessed using the test probes (Clause 4). BS EN 581-1:2017EN 581-1:2017 (E) 6 5.3.3 Shear and squeeze points during use There shall be no accessib
35、le shear and squeeze points created by loads applied during normal use. Shear and squeeze points are not acceptable if there is a risk of injury created by the weight of the user during normal movements and actions, e.g. attempting to move the seating by lifting the seat or by adjusting the backrest
36、. This requirement shall be assessed using the test probes (Clause 4). For loungers, the loads applied during normal use are the loads used for the following mechanical tests in Table 1 of EN 581-2:2015: Test 2: Additional seat and leg rest static load; Test 3: Seat and back durability; Test 4: Addi
37、tional seat durability; Test 5: Durability on back rest mechanism. For other seating, the loads applied during normal use are the loads used for the following mechanical tests in Table 2 of EN 581-2:2015: Test 2: Seat front edge static; Test 3: Combined seat and back durability; Test 4: Durability t
38、est on seating with a multi-position back. For tables, the loads applied during normal use are the loads used for the following mechanical tests in Table 1 of EN 581-3:2007: Test 1: Vertical static load on main surface; Test 4: Vertical static load on ancillary surface; Test 5: Horizontal durability
39、 test. 6 Test report The test report shall include at least the following information: a) reference to this part of the European Standard (EN 581-1:2017); b) details of piece of furniture tested; c) any defects observed before testing; d) the test results according to the applicable clauses; e) comp
40、liance with the requirements; f) the name and address of the test facility; g) the date of test.
