42、tolerances 4.1 Individual units When a single unit is supplied for test all the safety tests (5) shall be carried out on the same sample and in the order in which they are listed in this standard. Tests for strength and durability (6) may be carried out on a second sample. 4.2 Range of units For a r
43、ange of units featuring similar construction and sharing hardware, or single units with features utilising identical hardware and fixings (e.g. a unit with different size drawers), selected tests shall be carried out on the worst case units/components as detailed in Annex B. The tests shall be carri
44、ed out in the order in which they are listed in this standard. If one unit or component within a range of products does not satisfy the requirements of this standard then compliance for the full range cannot be claimed. 4.3 Tolerances Unless otherwise stated, the following tolerances are applicable:
45、 Forces: 5 % of the nominal force; Forces may be replaced by masses. The relationship 10 N = 1 kg may be used. Velocities: 5 % of the nominal velocity; Masses: 1 % of the nominal mass; Dimensions: 1 mm of the nominal dimension; Angles: 2oof the nominal angle. NOTE For the purposes of uncertainty mea
46、surement, test results are not considered to be adversely affected when the above tolerances are met.

47、and its parts are likely to cause injury only when they are heavy and fall through a significant distance. This is possible if floor standing units overbalance, wall or screen mounted units become detached, or heavy parts become detached from units. Therefore, the tests contained in Table 4 are only
48、 considered to affect safety when: the height of the centre of gravity of the unit, or any part, is 650 mm above the floor and the total mass is 10 kg, or when the potential energy (3.9) of the unit, or any part, is 65 Nm and the height of the centre of gravity of the unit, or any part, is 650 mm. 5
49、.1.2 Determination of centre of gravity The centre of gravity of a component or unit shall be taken as the geometric centre of that unit, except in the case of extension elements, where the geometric centre of the usable volume shall be used. The height of the centre of gravity above the floor shall be measured for storage furniture or their components when installed according to the manufacturers instructions. Levelling devices shall be set at their middle position. Height adjustable components shall
