PART I, INSPECTION PROCEDURE:
Inspect lateral file cabinets for the following:
1. Overall workmanship (no sharp edges, smoothness of exposed surfaces, and tightness of all
fastening devices).
2. Check operation and diameter of leveling glides per specifications.
3. Check for presence of compartment options and for ease of installation.
4. Check operation for lock and gang lock capability.
5. Check for presence of "Caution Label".
6. Check that drawers have stops and bumpers.
7. Check that drawer fronts have double wall construction.
PART II, TEST PROCEDURE:
1. Finish Tests: A test panel approximately 4" X 8" furnished (or cut from the file drawer
or roll -out shelf door) shall be bent at room temperature around a 1/8-inch-diameter rod
to 180 degrees without cracking, flaking or loss of finish. Using an inside surface of a
file drawer or shelf as a test surface, conduct the following fmish tests:
A) Adhesion test:._The test surface shall be scored with a razor blade through the film
coat to the base metal in such a manner to produce a grid of 1/8-inch squares
(one -square -inch area approximately). A one inch wide strip of pressure
sensitive, transparent, cellophane tape shall be applied firmly to the grid surface
and then quickly pulled from the surface. The dried film shall not be removed
from the panel when the tape is removed as per ASTM D3359 Classification No.
5.
B) Hardness test: The dried film on the test surface shall withstand the finn stroke of
a 2H pencil held at a 45-degree-angle and pushed across the film surface without
evidence of marring when viewed at an oblique angle in a strong light.
2. Pull Test: The shelf or drawer under test shall be evenly loaded with typical filing
materials (84 pounds in 42" drawer). The test shall be conducted after approximately 100
cycles of opening using a force gauge (or equivalent method) attached to the center pull
area. A test bracket may be used to make the connection. The pull force required must
not be greater than 9 pounds to open over the anti -rebound and not greater than 5 pounds
for full extension of the drawer or roll -out shelf. The suspensions are not to be cleaned or
lubricated during the test. Drawers and roll -out shelves shall operate easily, quietly and
smoothly without binding after the test.
3. Static load test: All compartments in the cabinet shall be fully loaded with filing material
as specified in Paragraph 2 above. The load material shall be filed in a lateral manner
(from side to side) in each compartment. Dividers shall be positioned to retain the filed
material. The cabinet shall then be tilted on one of its sides at an angle of 60 to 65
degrees with respect to the floor surface so that the loaded material bears against the
divider. The cabinet shall remain in this position for not less than 3 hours. At the end of
the 3-hour period, the cabinet shall be leveled and examined. The cabinet shall have
failed the test if any cabinet part or component is damaged or permanently distorted, or if
the pull force to operate drawers and shelves exceeds the push/pull force specified in
Paragraph 2.
4. Interlock Mechanism test: One compartment in the cabinet shall be opened not less than 6
inches from its fully closed position. All other compartments shall be fully closed. A
horizontal force (pull) not to exceed 30 pounds shall be applied to the front of closed
compartments to test the operation of the interlock mechanism. It shall require manual
closing of the open compartment before a second compartment can be opened, or, the
open compartment shall automatically recede toward its closed position with the opening
of a second compartment. With one compartment open, the interlock mechanism will be

3. Rack Test: The filing cabinet shall be placed in a level position. Each drawer of
the cabinet shall be loaded with weights of typical filing material such as paper
guide cards and folders, or their equivalent weight, which shall be equally
distributed from front to back of drawers in the following amounts:
Legal size - 78 lbs. per drawer (legal size material 8.5" X 14").
Examinations and observations shall be made to determine the impairment, if any, of the ease of
operation of the drawers, the locks, or other movable devices under conditions of loaded level
uniform support. The drawer pull test as specified below shall be conducted at this time. The
drawer operating force shall not exceed 6 pounds or 8 pounds as applicable.
The loaded cabinet shall then be raised not less than one inch to a position of being supported at
two diagonally opposite corners. The area of support shall not be greater than 6 inches from
each corner. The loaded cabinet shall remain in this position for a minimum of 24 hours. The
cabinet shall be returned to a level position and shall be reexamined to determine the impairment,
if any, of the ease of operation of the drawers, the locks and locking mechanism, the latches or
other movable devices. The drawer pull test specified below shall again be conducted. The
cabinet shall be considered as having failed the test if the drawer operating force exceeds 6

platform. Each drawer of the cabinet shall be loaded with typical filing material such as
paper, guide cards and folders, or their equivalent weight, which shall be equally
distributed from front to back of drawer (78 lbs. for legal size). All drawers shall be
opened 8 to 10 inches from their closed position. Using a test setup consisting of a
hydraulic actuator and a mechanical force gauge or a weight and pulley arrangement
apply a 35 pound force to the cabinet side at the upper front corner. The cabinet shall be
subjected to the load for 30 minutes. Tipping over while the 35 pound load is a failure
and cause for rejection. At the conclusion of the 30 minute test period, with the 35
pound load still applied, there shall be no deflection in the 'cabinet or drawers sufficient
to prevent any of the drawers from being fully closed by hand. (The cabinet frame shall
not be manipulated to assist closing the drawers). The drawers shall be examined and
closed from top drawers down to the bottom drawer. The load shall then be removed,
the cabinet leveled, and all drawers subjected to the drawer pull test in paragraph 4.
Failure of any of the drawers to close while the load is still applied after the 30 minute
time period and failure of any of the drawers to comply with the drawer pull test shall be
cause to reject the cabinet.
7. Lock Test: The filing cabinet shall be placed in a level position and secured to the floor
or test platform. Each drawer of the cabinet shall be loaded with typical filing material
such as paper, guide cards and folders, or their equivalent weight, which shall be equally
distributed from front to back of drawer in the following amounts:
Legal size - 78 lbs. per drawer (legal size material 8.5" X 14").
Disengage the thumb latch so only the lock will be tested. Close and lock the vertical file
cabinet. Apply a horizontal outward force of 50 pounds at the center of the hand pull. There
shall be three attempts to open each drawer. The locking system will be considered inoperable if
any drawer opens during the pull test.
8. Drawer Latch Test: The filing cabinet shall be placed in a level position and secured to
the floor or test platform. Each drawer of the cabinet shall be loaded with typical filing
material such as paper, guide cards and folders, or their equivalent weight, which shall be
equally distributed from front to back of drawer in the following amounts:
Legal size - 78 lbs. per drawer (legal size material 8.5" X 14").
Close and latch the drawer (Do not lock). Apply a horizontal outward force of 50 pounds at the
center of the hand pull. The latching system will have failed if any drawer opens during the pull
test.
