DIN EN 16122:2012-10

This European Standard specifies tests methods for the determination of strength, durability and stability for all types of domestic and non-domestic storage furniture (including domestic kitchen furniture). It does not apply to office, industrial, catering equipment and retail storage, nor to industrial storage lockers. Strength and durability tests do not assess the structure of the building, for example, the strength of wall hanging cabinets applies only to the cabinets and the parts used for attachment. The wall itself and the wall attachments are not included. Requirements for safety, strength and durability can be found in other European Standards. Assessment of the effects of ageing, degradation and flammability is not included. Annex A (normative) contains details of test equipment for the slam open/shut testing of extension elements. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 042-05-05 AA "SpA CEN/TC 207/WG 5 und 6 Anforderungen an Objekt- und Schulmöbel" ("Mirror Committee of CEN/TC 207/TC 207/WG 5 and 6 Requirements for contract and educational furniture") at DIN.
