1. A device for latching a door of an oxygen mask container in an aircraft cabin, comprising:
a door for an oxygen mask container having an inner side, an outer side and a hinge;
a first latching device attached to the inner side of the door;
a second latching device movable relative to the first latching device to selectively engage or disengage the second latching device;
a retaining element attachable to a structural part inside the oxygen mask container; and
a test control device on the inner side of the door;
wherein the test control device comprises a movable hook element,
wherein the test control device is configured to move the hook element to a first position or to a second position, wherein the hook element can engage the retaining element in the first position to restrict an opening degree of the door and wherein the hook element is placed in the second position such that when the door is opened, the hook element is moved past the retaining element, and
wherein the test control device is disposed adjacent to the first latching device, such that the second latching device is selectively movable to engage the test control device and move the hook element from the second position into the first position.
