EN 14074:2004 Testing for Tables, Desks, and Storage Furniture by CDG Inspection Limited

CDG Inspection Limited offers expert testing services for tables, desks, and storage furniture in accordance with EN 14074:2004, a European standard that ensures high levels of safety, durability, and performance for office and storage furniture.

Understanding EN 14074:2004

EN 14074:2004 specifies the requirements for the mechanical strength and stability of office furniture, focusing on tables, desks, and storage units. It provides a comprehensive framework for assessing the structural integrity and usability of furniture under various conditions, ensuring that it can handle the demands of everyday use in professional environments.

Our Testing Services

Structural Strength Evaluation: We perform detailed tests to assess the structural strength of tables, desks, and storage furniture. This involves applying different static and dynamic loads to simulate real-world usage and verify that the furniture maintains its integrity.

Load Capacity and Stability Testing: Our testing ensures that furniture can support specified loads without compromising stability. We evaluate the furniture's resistance to tipping and wobbling, ensuring reliable performance in various settings.

Durability Assessment: We test the durability of materials used in furniture construction, including finishes and surfaces. Our tests simulate wear and environmental conditions to ensure long-lasting performance and resistance to everyday use.

Functional Testing: For desks and storage units with adjustable features or moving parts, we assess their functionality and ease of use. This includes testing mechanisms for adjustments and evaluating the smooth operation of drawers and doors.

Safety Feature Inspection: We check for potential safety hazards such as sharp edges, pinch points, or unstable components. Ensuring that safety features are effective contributes to a safer working environment.

Compliance and Documentation: We provide detailed reports documenting compliance with EN 14074:2004. Our reports highlight any deviations from the standard and offer recommendations for improvements to ensure the highest quality and safety standards.
