The result is an update (amendment), with new requirements and test method designed to verify the stability of this particular version of the storage unit and which completes, becoming an integral part of it, the well-known standard EN 14749 "Storage furniture and worktops for domestic and kitchen use - Safety requirements and test methods ".
