b) all other edges and corners accessible during intended use are free
from burrs and/or sharp edges;
c) there shall be no areas where the distance between two accessible
parts moving relative to each other can be less than 25 mm, and more
than 8 mm in any position during movement that could present a risk of
injury to the user, created by parts of the furniture operated by powered
mechanisms, e.g. mechanical springs and gas lifts.
This requirement is fulfilled if there is no hazard present when tested in
accordance with CEN/TR 17202:2018, 8.3 and 8.4.
NOTE Requirements for shear and compression points created under the
influence of electrical motors are specified in prEN 17684:2022.

tubular components shall be capped or otherwise closed;
f) There shall be no holes in the ends of tubular components or holes in
rigid components in accessible parts between 8 mm and 18 mm, unless
the depth of penetration is less than 10 mm or capped. This requirement
