This Malaysian Standard specifies the safety requirements for office storage furniture.
This standard does not apply to high density mechanised filing systems, rotary filing systems or plan files.
It should be understood that fulfilling the specified requirements does not ensure that failure will not occur as a result of habitual misuse or after an excessively long period of service.
Safety depending on 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 wall attachment are not included.
Assessment of ageing is not included.
