ISO 7170 Furniture Storage Units Strength Durability and Stability Testing Validation Method Development Test
The ISO 7170 standard provides a comprehensive framework for assessing the strength, durability, and stability of furniture storage units. This service encompasses detailed testing procedures aimed at ensuring that storage furniture meets stringent quality and safety standards.
Storage furniture is subject to various stresses during its lifecycle, from initial use to long-term storage. Our ISO 7170 test methodology ensures that these units are robust enough to withstand the demands placed upon them by consumers and commercial environments alike. The testing process involves rigorous validation of methods used in manufacturing processes as well as performance under expected load conditions.
The tests include static loading, dynamic loading, and durability assessments. Static loading measures how much weight a particular piece of storage furniture can support without sustaining damage or deformation beyond specified limits. Dynamic loading evaluates the impact resistance and resilience of the unit when subjected to realistic usage patterns. Durability testing focuses on assessing the longevity of materials and construction techniques employed in building these units.
Preparation of specimens for ISO 7170 testing requires careful consideration based on the type of storage furniture being evaluated. For instance, drawers may require different preparation steps compared to shelves or cabinets due to their unique design features. Specimens must be representative of typical usage scenarios and reflect real-world conditions as closely as possible.
Our laboratory utilizes advanced instrumentation such as hydraulic presses for static loading tests, drop towers for dynamic load evaluations, and environmental chambers to simulate long-term exposure effects like temperature fluctuations and humidity changes. Reporting follows strict guidelines outlined in ISO 7170 ensuring accurate documentation of all test results including any deviations from expected outcomes.
