How are vertical file cabinets tested for anti-tip performance?

ANSI/BIFMA testing standards include tip-over tests where the heaviest drawer is fully extended with a specified load applied at the drawer front. Cabinets that tip during testing fail certification. Manufacturer-installed anti-tip mechanisms (either wall-anchor systems or inter-unit anchor bars) are required for certified commercial cabinets.
