EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 1730 standard. The EN 1730 standard specifies test methods for determining the stability, strength and durability of the structure of all types of tables and desks, regardless of use, material, design/construction or manufacturing process. This European standard does not apply to varying units covered by other European Standards.
Test methods for the assessment of aging, deterioration and electrical function are not included. This European standard provides for the strength and durability of any storage specification covered by other European standards.
not valid. This European standard does not contain any requirements. Requirements for different end uses can be found in other standards.
Furniture will be tested as delivered. Disassembled furniture will be assembled according to the accompanying instructions. If the instructions allow different ways of assembling or combining furniture, the most unfavorable combination should be used for each experiment. Knockdown fittings must be tightened prior to testing. No further tightening will be done unless specifically requested by the manufacturer.
Unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer, the test specimen should be stored indoors for at least 24 hours immediately prior to testing. Tests should be performed indoors, but if the temperature is outside the range of 15 °C to 25 °C during the test, the maximum or minimum temperature should be recorded on the test report. Bending test (Article 6.7) of table tops, except those made of metal, glass and stone, must be carried out at (50 ± 5) % relative humidity and (23 ± 2) ° C.
Test forces in endurance and static load tests should be applied slowly enough to ensure that negligible dynamic load is applied. Forces in endurance tests should be applied slowly enough to ensure that kinetic heating does not occur.
Unless otherwise stated, the tests may be performed with any suitable device as the results are not apparatus dependent, except for impact tests where the apparatus described will be used. The equipment must not impede or cause unnatural deformation of the unit/component, ie it must be able to move during testing to follow the deformation of the unit/component.
Except for the horizontal static, strength and stiffness tests, all loading pads should be able to rotate according to the direction of the applied force and the pivot point should be as close to the load as practicable. For horizontal static, durability and stiffness tests, the loading pads should not rotate. Except for horizontal static, durability, and hardness testing, if a loading pad tends to slip, use a slip-resistant material between the loading pad and the surface under test.
The vertical impactor consists of:
Unless otherwise specified, tests should be performed in the configuration most likely to cause failure. In cases where the tabletop can be extended and the smallest dimension of the unextended tabletop is less than 300mm, it should be considered that the extended configuration will most likely cause malfunction. In this case, the extended configuration is considered the main surface.
Leveling devices should be set as close to 5mm as possible from the fully open position while keeping the table top parallel to the floor. If a test as specified in this standard cannot be performed, for example because a product's design cannot use a loading pad to apply a force, the test should be carried out as specified as far as possible. Tables provided with storage specifications will be tested with the load specified in the storage item.
