The scope of the
EN 16014:2011 standard is to define methods and requirements for
strength and durability for all types of furniture locks of all types of use.
It includes requirements for both
bolt locks and
locks with bars and hooks.
To achieve full compliance with the standard,
five locks must be tested, one for each type of test.
For a cylinder lock with a key and bolt, the tests that must be performed are several:
overload test on lock and on bolt, functional load test again on lock and on bolt, torque test on key, durability test on lock and on cylinder and key and, finally, test of corrosion resistance.
