This standard specifies safety requirements and test methods for the structure of all types of kitchen and bathroom storage units and domestic storage furniture that are fully assembled and ready for use, including kitchen and bathroom worktops and movable and non-movable parts and parts made out of glass. The standard applies only to the storage function and not to additional special functions, e.g. use as a changing unit. It does not apply to toy boxes or toy chests as convered by EN 71-1, Amendment 7, nor to catering equipment. 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 attachments are not included.
