Racking. The cabinet shall be placed on a hard level surface and the bas shall be restricted from vertical and lateral movement. All drawers shall be loaded as specified in 7.2 of the ANSI/BIFMA Standard and opened 203 mm - 254 mm. A 178N force shall be applied perpendicular to the side of the cabinet within one inch of the top front corner. The cabinet shall have failed the test if the deflection is 254 mm or more for the Type I and 95 mm or more for the Type I while the force is being applied. The deflection measurement shall be taken along the top front edge of the cabinet.
Shock. The cabinet shall be placed on a hard level surface and all drawers loaded and locked as specified 7.2 of the ANSI/BIFMA Standard Drawers of cabinets without locks shall be taped securely closed. The cabinet shall tilted straight backward (front to back; until the front edge of the bottom is 203 mm above the floor and then allowed to free-fail forward. The cabinet shall then be tilted straight forward (back to front) until the back edge of the bottom is 203 mm above the floor and then allowed to free-fall forward backward. These free-falls shall be repeated three times in each direction. All locked drawers shall remain locked. All drawers shall meet the Pull Test requirements in 8.2.2 of the ANSI/BIFMA Standard and there shall be no failure of rivets, welds, pins or catches.
Lock. The cabinet shall be placed on a hard level surface and restrained from movement. The cabinet shall be locked and then unlocked with the key continuously for 5000 cycles. One cycle consists of locking and unlocking the cabinet. The lock shall operate smoothly without catching and shall meet the requirements in 3 of the ANSI/BIFMA Standard.
Shipping shock test. The test equipment shall comply with ASTM D-800. A complete, fully assembled cartooned unit shall be submitted for test. Prior to cartooning, the unit shall be inspected for visual or functional damage and documented. The cartooned unit shall be placed onto the impact machine dolly flush against the back stop and parallel to the leading edge of the dolly. The catch mechanism located on the side of the dolly shall be tripped to allow the dolly to move up the incline at a 10o angle. Once the dolly hits the automatic trip mechanism, the dolly will freely roll down the incline a distance of four feet and impact the back stop. This procedure shall be performed on all sides (excluding the top) of the cabinet. The carton shall have failed the test if there is visual, structural or functional
