22、r camping, domestic and contract use for adults, without regard to materials, design/construction or manufacturing processes. This document does not apply to outdoor furniture for severe contract use, where higher requirements may be necessary nor to removable upholstery and coverings, permanently f
23、ixed furniture and street furniture. The test requirements contained within this European Standard are based on use by persons weighing up to 110 kg. Information regarding ageing and degradation caused by light, temperature and moisture has not been included. Annex A (normative) specifies additional
24、 test methods for seating with multi-position back rests. Annex B (normative) specifies test methods for loungers. Annex C (informative) specifies guidelines for purchase information. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. Fo

32、tioning time which shall be at least 24 h, instead of one week. With the exception of seating with a seat and back made of one piece of flexible material (e.g. textile), attached at the upper and lower edges only, seat and back loading points shall be determined according to EN 1728. For seating wit
33、h a seat and back made of one piece of flexible material (e.g. textile), attached at the upper and lower edges only, the loading point shall be the lowest point when a rolling cylinder (5.1) is placed in the chair. The tests are described in terms of the application of forces. Masses can however be
34、used. The relationship 10 N = 1 kg may be used for this purpose. 5 Test equipment and apparatus 5.1 Rolling cylinder For seating with seat and back made of one piece of flexible material (e.g. textile) the loading position template shall be a cylinder with a mass of (1 0,5) kg and a diameter of (70
35、10) mm. NOTE For example a suitable length of the cylinder is 200 mm.
