CDG’s Efficiency in Conducting Tests According to EN 12521:2016 Standard for Non-Domestic Tables
Introduction
In the realm of furniture testing, compliance with international standards is paramount to ensure the safety, strength, and durability of products. The EN 12521:2016 standard, titled “Furniture – Strength, durability, and safety – Requirements for non-domestic tables,” sets the benchmark for evaluating the performance of non-domestic tables. This comprehensive standard encompasses various aspects ranging from structural integrity to safety considerations, outlining stringent requirements that must be met by manufacturers. CDG, as a leading furniture testing laboratory in India, stands at the forefront of ensuring adherence to the EN 12521:2016 standard. This article delves into the intricacies of the EN 12521:2016 standard and highlights CDG’s efficiency in conducting tests aligned with its specifications.
Overview of EN 12521:2016 Standard
Purpose and Scope
The EN 12521:2016 standard is designed to establish the minimum requirements for non-domestic tables, emphasizing aspects such as strength, durability, and safety. These requirements aim to guarantee that tables intended for non-domestic use, such as those in commercial and institutional settings, meet specific performance criteria to ensure user safety and product longevity.
Structural Integrity
One of the primary focuses of EN 12521:2016 is the structural integrity of non-domestic tables. The standard outlines criteria for assessing the stability and robustness of tables under various conditions. This includes considerations for static and dynamic loading, ensuring that tables can withstand the rigors of real-world usage without compromising their structural stability.
Durability and Wear Resistance
Durability is a crucial factor in the longevity of furniture. EN 12521:2016 addresses this by stipulating requirements for the durability and wear resistance of non-domestic tables. CDG conducts tests to evaluate how well tables endure repeated use, ensuring that they maintain their functionality and aesthetic appeal over time.
Safety Considerations
Safety is paramount, especially in public spaces where non-domestic tables are commonly utilized. The standard includes provisions for assessing safety aspects such as sharp edges, stability under load, and resistance to accidental tipping. CDG’s testing procedures meticulously evaluate these safety considerations to certify that tables meet or exceed the safety requirements outlined in EN 12521:2016.
Materials and Finishes
The EN 12521:2016 standard also addresses the materials used in the construction of non-domestic tables. This encompasses requirements for the strength and durability of materials as well as considerations for surface finishes. CDG conducts thorough material testing to ensure that tables not only meet aesthetic standards but also adhere to the specified material strength and durability criteria.
