Specifies test methods for determining the stability performance of domestic freestanding chests of drawers over 500mm high, freestanding wardrobes over 500mm high and freestanding bookshelves/bookcases over 600mm high.

This Standard specifies test methods for determining the stability performance of domestic freestanding chests of drawers over 500 mm high, freestanding wardrobes over 500 mm high and freestanding bookshelves/bookcases over 600 mm high. Labelling requirements are also specified.It should be noted that even furniture items passing the test methods specified in this Standard can still tip under certain circumstances. This Standard applies to furniture items constructed of any materials.This Standard specifically addresses stability performance in relation to the hazard of children climbing on freestanding items. Climbing is assumed to take place on the face of the furniture item, which may feature common foot or handholds, e.g. doors and extendible elements (drawers and similar), including their associated handles. Furniture items that feature other types of foot or handholds on sides not including doors or extendible elements may present similar hazards but these have not been considered in this method. The objective of this Standard is to assist in reducing the probability of the defined furniture items tipping and causing injury to, or the death of, users and in particular, children.
