  "summary": "The strap in the drawer is not yet an anchor.",
  "kind": "checklist",
  "body": "Use a suitable anti-tip system with attachment points and fasteners appropriate to both the item and the wall. Follow the kit and furniture instructions. When the structure, wiring or installation is uncertain, use qualified help rather than improvising a mounting recipe.",
  "limits": [
    "Do not rely on furniture weight, a television stand or an improvised pull test. Mounting must not damage hidden services or compromise the item; the card does not specify a universal anchor."

    "A television or tall piece of furniture could tip if pulled or climbed."

  "example": "A furniture back panel is too thin for the intended fixing, so the installer follows the specified structural attachment instead.",
  "check": "The restraint is actually installed through appropriate attachment points, with unresolved compatibility questions closed.",
  "checklist": [
    "Check whether a suitable kit is supplied and read its complete instructions.",
    "Verify wall type, item attachment points and required fasteners before installation.",
    "Arrange qualified installation when compatibility or safe access is uncertain."
