Indaux Hangers are now catalogued according to the new European standard for hardware UNE EN 15939. This standard regulates the safety and load capacity of cabinet hangers.
By updating this standard, the European Committee for Standardisation, CEN provides three novelties: 1. Divides furniture into three types according to its use. 2. Recommends a particular hanger for a type of furniture and 3. Provides additional information as to the nature of the forces involved, so that the correct hanger can be chosen.
The three types of furniture are: tall kitchen furniture, whose height is much greater than their depth; a low wall-mounted kitchen unit, which supports dynamic forces and requires high load specific tests; and console type suspended furniture.
The standard recommends that hardware manufacturers should indicate each hangers’ maximum weight capacity. Indaux fittings are once again ahead of their competitors, as they all offer more load capacity. The following table summarizes the load capacities offered by Indaux hangers for each type of furniture.
