Scope

This Standard specifies test methods for the determination of the stability, the strength
and the durability of office tables designed for use in the seated or standing position,
e.g. work tables, height-adjustable tables, meeting tables and desks. This Standard
applies to products that are fully assembled and ready for use.
This Standard does not contain test methods for storage elements, which can be found
in ISO 7170.
The test methods consist of the application, to various parts of the unit, of loads, forces
and velocities simulating normal functional use of office table, as well as misuse, that
can reasonably be expected to occur.
With the exception of the deflection of table tops, the tests are designed to evaluate
properties without regard to materials, design, construction and manufacturing
processes.
The test results are valid only for the sample tested. These results can be used to
represent the performance of production models provided that the tested sample is
representative of the production model.
Tests carried out according to this Standard are intended to demonstrate the ability of
the item to give satisfactory service in its intended use environment. However, such
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. The test methods in this Standard
have been developed for units or components that have not been in use. However, when
properly justified, they can be used for product fault investigation.
This Standard specifies test methods only. It does not specify requirements. These
should be specified in a requirements document. If this is not available, forces and
number of cycles can be found in Annex A.
Assessment of ageing and degradation is not included in this Standard.

Summary	This standard specifies methods for testing the stability, strength, and durability of desks designed for sitting or standing use, including workbenches, height-adjustable tables, and conference tables. This standard applies to products that have been fully assembled for use. This standard does not contain test methods for the storage function part, which are described in ISO 7170. This test method includes loads, forces, and velocities acting on different components, simulating a variety of use conditions for desks during normal use and foreseeable misuse. With the exception of the tabletop deflection test, this test does not take into account factors such as materials, design, construction, and production processes when evaluating performance. Test results are only valid for the sample being tested. If the tested sample can be used as a representative of a certain production model, the test results of the tested sample can represent the same production model.
