This standard provides dimensional and performance requirements for safety, durability and structural adequacy
of free-standing components of office desk/table and storage products, including benching systems. Vertical filing
cabinets are not considered storage products for the purpose of this standard and are not covered in this standard.
This standard also provides dimensional and adjustment requirements that respect generally accepted ergonomics
guidelines or standards, such as those of CAN/CSA-ISO 9241-5-00(R2016), BIFMA G1-2013, CAESAR FINAL
REPORT Vol. I and II, June 2002 as its source of anthropometric data. The dimensional and adjustment requirements
aim to address the estimated needs of the 5th to 95th percentile of adult office workers.
The selected methods for measuring desk products and components and for assessing their performance are
based on the actual field and product-testing experience of the members of the Canadian General Standards Board
Committee on Free-standing Office Desk Products and Components.
Quantities and dimensions used in this standard are given in metric units with imperial equivalents shown in brackets
where appropriate. The metric units shall be regarded as official in the event of dispute.
The testing and evaluation of a product against this standard may require the use of materials and/or equipment
that could be hazardous. This document does not purport to address all the safety aspects associated with its use.
Anyone using this standard has the responsibility to consult the appropriate authorities and to establish health and
safety practices in conjunction with any applicable regulatory requirements prior to its use.
