| Standard scope | Strength and durability test methods for tables. | Standard number and edition; table type; test date; laboratory; cited test clauses. | The standard evaluates the table; it does not rank suction-cup manufacturers. |
| Test specimen and configuration | Tests are performed on a defined table specimen using the applicable procedure. | Table construction, dimensions, assembly condition, surface finish, and any attached accessories. | Record whether suction cups are fitted, their locations, and the surfaces they contact. |
| Loading and test procedure | The applicable clauses define the relevant loading and durability procedures; exact conditions should be taken from the standard. | Applicable clause, applied load or force, loading position, duration or repetitions, and test equipment. | Do not treat a component pull-off test as a GB/T 10357.4 table test unless the applicable procedure says so. |
| Observed performance | Performance is assessed against the applicable test procedure and its requirements. | Record movement, deformation, loosening, cracking, detachment, or other observations, along with measured values where applicable. | For suction-cup-equipped tables, note any cup slipping, loss of contact, or detachment as observations; do not present these as standalone standard limits. |
| Pass/fail conclusion | A conclusion should be based on the applicable requirements and test results, not an assumed universal threshold. | Report the clause-specific result, deviations, and pass/fail status; use “not tested” where no test was performed. | A table-level result alone does not establish a suction cup’s separate material or attachment rating. |
| Supplementary suction-cup checks | These checks are supplementary and should not be misidentified as requirements of GB/T 10357.4-2013. | Substrate type and condition, installation method, attachment force if measured, test duration, environmental conditions, and repeat-test results. | Use a separately defined test method and report its conditions so results can be compared fairly. |
