Strength and loading capacity of wall attachment devices

The revision of the standard EN 15939 was published on June 2019 and replaces the previous edition dated 2014.

For the verification of the loading capacity of all types of wall attachment devices for storage furniture and their components, the revision refers to three different types of test frames:
-       Test frame A, for structure cases with height > depth;
-       Test frame B, for structure cases with height equal to depth;
-       Test frame C, for structure cases with height < depth;
 
The types of frames described in the standard cover the main furniture suspended units existing on the market.

The value which is verified according to the EN 15939:2019 standard, represents the maximum load capacity (in kg) that must be indicated by the hardware manufacturer for each specific attachment device (read more).
