Foreword
This Standard is drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This Standard, using translation method, is identical to ISO 21016:2007 "Office
furniture - Tables and desks - Test methods for the determination of stability, strength
and durability".
China’s document which has a consistent correspondence with the international
document normatively referenced in this Standard is as follows:
- GB/T 10357.5-2011 Test of mechanical properties of furniture - Part 5: Strength
and durability of storage units (ISO 7170:2005, MOD)
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be
the subject of patent rights. The issuing authority of this document shall not be held
responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This Standard was proposed by China National Light Industry Council.
This Standard shall be under the jurisdiction of National Technical Committee 480 on
Furniture of Standardization Administration of China (SAC/TC 480).

Office furniture - Tables and desks - Test methods for the
determination of stability, strength and durability
1 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.
