About This Item
TSE CEN/TR 15588 is a Technical Report that defines the terms used for hinges and their components in furniture hardware. Documents of this type help standardise technical language across design, production, cataloguing and specification work, so that the same hinge-related term is understood consistently by different parties.
What the hinge vocabulary covers
The subject of the report is all types of hinges and the elements that make up a hinge assembly. In general engineering terms, a hinge is a joint that allows a door, lid, flap or similar moving part to pivot relative to a fixed frame or body. The vocabulary therefore supports clear naming of both the complete hinge and its structural components.
The use of figures in the report is intended to make the technical language easier to understand by separating different hinge forms visually as well as verbally. In furniture applications, hinge terminology matters because design choices often depend on mounting arrangement, direction of movement, visibility, use frequency and the way parts interact during opening and closing.
