Testing Standards – the Need for them

Testing standards for door concealed hinges have various benefits, these are for example;

Protection of Life: The hinges are thoroughly tested to ensure that they can take different types of stresses and loads in order to eliminate any incidences that may lead to injuries.

Durability Confirmation of Materials Used: Testing confirms whether the hinges have been designed in such a way that they will work properly with frequent usage over a long period of time.

Adhering to Industry Rules: Some industries have certain standards to be achieved in terms of safety and performance. Products that meet these requirements are said to be ready for the market.

There are several key standards related to testing performance of concealed hinges which neccesairly should be observed:

The first one refers to particular loads that door hinges are capable of withstanding.

As the operational factors allow repeated folding and unfolding of a unit the doors are opened and closed for a specific number of times per day within a cycle test regime.

This is critical due to the fact that most of the concealed hinges used in doors are prone to moisture and or environment and thus rusting and usage of the hinges may be affected.

Many of the concealed hinges might be put in places with building temperature and humidity control or without. Hence tests in many facets such as extreme temperature and humidity levels are carried out.
