Office furniture - Storage furniture - Part 2: Determination of stability and strength of the structure (Second revision)
This Malaysian Standard specifies test methods for the determination of strength of the structure of free standing or screen and wall hanging office storage furniture as well as stability of free standing units.
The tests are intended to simulate overbalancing forces and structural loads, which may occur during normal functional use, as well as misuse that might reasonably be expected to occur.
This standard does not apply to high density mechanised filing systems, rotary filing systems, or plan files.
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 wall attachment are not included.
This Malaysian Standard does not cover assessment of ageing and safety requirements which may be found in MS 1315-1.
