Champ d’application

This standard specifies the general safety requirements for furniture structures and specific structural safety requirements for certain products. It applies to all furniture except for infant and children's furniture, which is regulated under GB 28007-2024. Manufacturers of office screens, folding beds, laboratory furniture, bathroom furniture, bunk beds, and glass furniture must comply with this standard.

Exigences techniques

The standard outlines comprehensive structural safety requirements to prevent injuries during normal use. It mandates that accessible edges and corners must be rounded or protected, with a minimum radius of 0.5mm. Components must be securely fastened without loose parts or missing nails. It also specifies requirements for push-pull components to have anti-drop devices and for wheeled products to have locking mechanisms. A significant portion of the standard addresses shear and squeeze points. These hazardous points must not be accessible during intended use or normal operation. The standard provides a specific judgment flow (detailed in Annex A) and uses a hemispherical finger probe to test accessible gaps, ensuring they are either smaller than 7mm or larger than 18mm to prevent finger entrapment. Specific product categories have dedicated requirements. For instance, bunk beds must have safety barriers with specific height and gap limitations to prevent falls and entrapment. Glass furniture must adhere to strict size, thickness, and assembly rules depending on whether the glass is tempered, semi-tempered, or flat, and whether it is load-bearing or decorative. Load-bearing glass components must pass rigorous impact and strength tests.

Méthodes d’essai

The standard references various testing methods to verify compliance, including: - Stability tests for office screens and bunk beds. - Cycle testing for folding mechanisms in folding beds. - Water resistance tests for laboratory furniture surfaces. - Strength and durability tests for hanging bathroom cabinets. - Impact tests (drop ball and shot bag) and surface stress measurements for glass furniture components. - Use of hemispherical finger probes for gap and hole measurements.
