Mechanical test standard: furniture is not strong?

Some wardrobes have different gravity-bearing plates that are easy to bend and collapse. Some chairs do not break long enough. In fact, whether the furniture is strong and durable and can carry multiple objects cannot be judged by its thickness and feel. Tested using general technical standards for mechanics. Recently, the standard content of “Mechanical Performance Test for Furniture” has been newly added. Consumers will later need to verify whether the furniture is firm or not. It can be known by looking at the product's mechanical performance data.

“The new content has optimized and clarified the original furniture mechanics test standards, and it also satisfies the market status,” said Yang Junyuan, the secretary-general of the Ningbo Furniture Trade Association, who told reporters that with the changes in consumer habits, relevant industry inspection standards are also In accordance with the needs of the development of the times, it has been continuously optimized, and market-based complaints, consumer issues, laboratory data, and supervision and spot checks have been used as the basis for the establishment of the standard.

It is understood that the new standard covers the strength, durability and stability of furniture such as tables, chairs and stools, cabinets, and single-storey beds, among which the stability of cabinets has been modified and supplemented, such as stability of cabinets. The sex standard has increased the determination of the center of gravity, modified the shelf stability test, and the loading stability when the non-fixed cabinet moving parts are opened. In terms of table strength and durability, the tabletop horizontal static load test method when the tabletop is irregularly shaped and the tabletop horizontal endurance test method when the tabletop is irregularly shaped are added.

In simple terms, mechanical properties refer to the mechanical characteristics of furniture materials under various circumstances, such as compression, sustained loading, bending, torsion, durability, impact, etc. If the mechanical properties cannot meet the standards, It will directly affect the service life and safety of the furniture. Usually, when the furniture is in production and acceptance, it will undergo an experimental test to examine the stability, stiffness performance, strength, durability inspection, etc. of the furniture products, such as examining the load-bearing capacity of the chair surface, the back of the chair, the lateral load-bearing capacity of the handrail and the downward direction. The bearing capacity, etc., belong to the testing category of mechanical properties.
