This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for storage units (see 3.1 used in
laboratones.
This European Standard specifies strength, durability and safety requirements to prevent serious injury
through normal functional use, as well as misuse that might reasonably be expected to occur
Safety, depending on the structure of the building, is not included e.g. the strength of wall hanging cabinets
includes only the cabinet and its parts. The wall and the fixing in the wall are not included.
It should be understood that the tests do not ensure that structural failure will not eventually occur as a result
of habitual misuse or after an excessively long period of service.
Assessment of ageing, degradation and the heating effect of appliances are not included nor are ergonomic
aspects or resistance to fire.
