ANSI/BIFMA X5.9-2004 Storage Units
BIFMA, Nov 2004, Pages: 106
The material presented in this standard was developed as a result of the efforts of the members of BIFMA International and reviewed by a broad representation of interested parties, government organizations and commercial testing and procurement and interior design organizations.
This standard defines specific tests, laboratory equipment, conditions of test, and recommended minimum levels to be used in the test and evaluation of the performance, durability, and structural adequacy of storage units used in offices.
The original work on this standard was completed in May 2003 by the BIFMA Engineering Committee and particularly by its Subcommittee on File/Storage Standards. The Subcommittee conducted reviews of the proposed standard to ensure that the tests accurately describe the proper means of evaluating the safety, durability, and structural adequacy of storage units and related products.
The reviews produced the various test procedures that improve the procedures and provide consistency. The proposed new standard was submitted to the membership of BIFMA International and approved in March 17, 2004. A canvass of interested parties and stakeholders was conducted in accordance with the requirements of an ANSI accredited standard. After completion of the canvass process, the standard was subsequently submitted to the American National Standards Institute for approval as an American National Standard. Approval by ANSI was given on November 17, 2004 after a thorough review of the process used by BIFMA International.
