Practical Notes

This standard is for procurement and manufacturing; ensure that the manufacturer's certificate confirms compliance with all clauses, especially material thickness (Table 2) and finish (Clause 6).

Pay close attention to the locking arrangement (Clause 5.5), which specifies a three-way bolting mechanism for security, a feature often compromised in cheaper alternatives.

Verify that shelves are adjustable as specified in Clause 5.4, as this is a key functional requirement for versatile storage.
