1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard provides dimensional and performance requirements for safety, durability and structural adequacyof interconnecting panels and panel-supported components such as work surfaces, drawers and storage units.Panels may have the capability for management of electrical and communications wiring as well as acousticalproperties.
1.2 This standard also provides dimensional and adjustment requirements that respect generally accepted ergonomicsguidelines or standards, such as those of CAN/CSA-ISO 9241-5-00, using NATICK/TR-89/044, 1988 as its sourceof anthropometric data.
1.2.1 The dimensional and adjustment requirements aim to address the estimated needs of the 5th to 95th percentile ofadult office workers when in the seated position.
1.3 The selected methods for measuring interconnecting panels and panel-supported components and for assessingtheir performance are based on the actual field and product-testing experience of the members of the CanadianGeneral Standards Board Committee on Interconnecting Panel Systems and Supported Components.
1.4 Quantities and dimensions used in this standard are given in metric units with imperial equivalents shown inbrackets where appropriate. The metric units shall be regarded as official in the event of dispute.
1.5 The testing and evaluation of a product against this standard may require the use of materials and/or equipmentthat could be hazardous.
