This European Standard specifies safety requirements on the structure of built-in and free-standing kitchen units, work tops and breakfast bars including those with glass in their construction. It applies to units after installation. This standard does not apply to catering equipment. However, safety, depending on the 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 the wall attachment are not included. This standard specifies requirements to prevent serious injury through normal functional use, as well as misuse that might reasonably be expected to occur. It should be understood that the 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. Assessment of ageing, degradation and the heating effect of appliances are not included nor are the ergonomic aspects of safety and resistance to fire.
