BS EN 15939 specifies test methods for the verification of the loading capacity of all types of wall attachment devices for storage furniture and their components.
The tests consist of the application of loads and forces simulating normal functional use, as well as misuse that might reasonably be expected to occur.
With the exception of the corrosion test in 6.3, the tests are designed to evaluate properties without regard to materials, design/construction, or manufacturing processes.
The tests can be applied to the part attached to the furniture alone or to the combination of the part attached to the furniture and the part attached to the wall. The attachment into the wall is not included.
The strength tests are carried out in a test frame with specified properties.
Note 1: BS EN 15939 does not apply to devices intended to prevent the overturning of storage furniture.
Note 2: The test results are only valid for the devices tested. These results can be used to represent the performance of the production model, provided that the tested model is representative of the production model.
Note 3: With the exception of the corrosion test, ageing and influences of temperature and humidity are not included.
BS EN 15939 on wall attachment devices is useful for:
BS EN 15939 represents the maximum load capacity (in kg) that must be indicated by the hardware manufacturer for each specific attachment device.
BS EN 15939 specifies test methods for the verification of the loading capacity of all types of wall attachment devices for storage furniture and their components to ensure that you’re getting the best protection possible.
BS EN 15939 provides strength requirements and loading capacity for wall attachment devices, that make anchoring easier, faster, less expensive, and more commonplace.
BS EN 15939 provides the tests, which are designed to evaluate properties regard to materials, design/construction, or manufacturing processes which makes designing, manufacturing process easier, safe. And helps you to provide quality products to consumers.
