Lateral File Cabinets — Expert Answer

What BIFMA standards apply to lateral file cabinets?

BIFMA X5.3 is the performance standard for file cabinets, covering drawer pull testing, anti-tip performance, surface wear resistance, and structural strength. A BIFMA X5.3-compliant lateral file cabinet has been verified to support its rated drawer load, resist tipping when a single drawer is fully extended and loaded, and withstand repeated open/close cycles equivalent to years of daily use. Look for BIFMA compliance in the product spec sheet for any commercial filing purchase.
