Load template for seating furniture acc. to EN 1022 Load template for testing stability
To test the stability of seating furniture, defined load points and load positions are required. Load templates help to quickly, precisely, and reproducibly mark the intended test positions on the test specimen.
Hegewald & Peschke offers load templates for various standards and test methods. It is important to distinguish between the current EN 1022:2023 and tests conducted in accordance with older or other standards, such as EN 1022:2005, ISO 7173, and EN 1728.
