• Provide CAD drawings showing furniture integration to confirm classification as a fitting rather than standalone machinery
• Test for gas leakage compliance with safety standards like EN 581 for furniture hardware
• Avoid declaring as 'table mechanisms' which could trigger review under Chapter 94 furniture headings
