What is BS EN 14073?

8 May 2021

BS EN 14073 is a European standard that sets requirements for the performance and safety of office furniture storage units such as filing cabinets, pedestals, and bookcases. This standard specifies the design and test requirements for the strength, stability, and durability of these storage units.
