21、 strength and durability of all types of outdoor seating for adults, without regard to materials, design/construction or manufacturing processes. It does not apply to street furniture. It does not apply to removable upholstery and covering. It does not include requirements for the durability of cast
22、ors/wheels and height adjustment mechanisms. It does not include requirements for electrical safety. It does not include requirements for the resistance to ageing and degradation caused by light, temperature and moisture. The test requirements contained within this standard are based on use by perso
23、ns weighing up to 110 kg. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

With the exception of seating with a seat and back made of one piece of fle
29、xible 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 with 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 shal
30、l be the lowest point when a rolling cylinder (Clause 5) is placed in the seating. 5 Test equipment In derogation to EN 1728 and EN 1022, the loading position template for seating with seat and back made of one suspended or hanging piece of flexible material (e.g. textile) shall be a cylinder with a
31、 mass of (1 0,5) kg and a diameter of (70 10) mm. Axis of the cylinder shall be perpendicular to the median plane of the seat. Let the cylinder roll from the higher part of the top front of the flexible part. Where the cylinder stops the seat load shall be applied. NOTE A suitable length of the cyli
32、nder is 200 mm. 6 Safety, strength and durability requirements for loungers 6.1 General Before and after the strength, durability and stability tests are carried out, the EN 581-1 requirements shall be fulfilled. 6.2 Stability, strength and durability 6.2.1 Test sequence and parameters The lounger s
