Abstract

This European Standard specifies requirements for the safety, strength, durability and stability for all types of non-domestic storage furniture.
It does not apply to domestic storage, office storage, industrial storage, kitchen, catering equipment, retail storage, laboratory storage and industrial storage lockers.
Requirements for strength and durability do not apply to the structure of the building for example the strength of wall hanging cabinets includes only the cabinets and the parts used for attachment. The wall and the wall attachments are not included.
It does not include requirements for the resistance to ageing, degradation and flammability.

x w r mm. 5.1.2 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 manufacturer’s instructions. Levelling devices shall be set at their middle position. Height adjustable components shall be placed in their highest position. All wall or top hanging units, or components thereof, are considered to have their centre of gravity more than 650 mm above the floor. 5.1.3 Determination of total mass The total mass is the mass of the component or unit plus the mass supported by it. Unless the component is conspicuously and durably marked by the manufacturer with a maximum load, the mass of the contents shall be determined according to Table 1, which specifies mass per unit area for shelves and the mass per unit volume for extension elements, baskets and trays, etc. The volume of fixed baskets and trays shall be taken as the volume contained below their top edge. The volume of extension elements shall be taken as the area of its bottom multiplied by the clear height (3.6).
