Introduction
With this revision the included test methods have been as far as possible taken out of the standard and
referenced to:
— EN 16122:2012, Domestic and non-domestic storage furniture — Test methods for the determination
of strength, durability and stability.
This standard was prepared in order to provide assurance that domestic storage furniture and kitchen-
worktops comply with the given requirements and are safe.
The intention of this European Standard is the prevention of serious injury through normal use, as well
as foreseeable misuse. It cannot ensure that structural failure will not eventually occur as a result of
habitual misuse.
Co-ordinating sizes for kitchen furniture (including kitchen-worktops) kitchen appliances, sinks and
decorative panels are covered by EN 1116, Kitchen furniture — Co-ordinating sizes for kitchen furniture
and kitchen appliances.
