The The European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) has just published the update of the UNE EN 15939 standard on hardware. Principally, this standard regulates the strength measurement and load capacity of the hangers. Indaux has been heavily involved in the update of this standard, thanks to its know-how on wall fixing devices and its participation in the CEN for more than 20 years.
The new standard provides manufacturing recommendations and has updated the tests on three types of furniture that are currently in high demand in the market. These 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, i.e. very long pieces.
