2.1 Principles
The mechanical property test for furniture is a test that simulates the strength or bearing capacity for the parts of furniture under the condition of one-off or repetitive load during normal use and habitual misuse.
According to the frequency of normal use and possible misuse degree under the intended application condition for the product, and based on the loading magnitude and loading times, the strength and durability test is divided into five test levels, shown in Appendix A (Informative).
