DIN EN 527-1:2011-08 EN 527-1:2011 (E) 4 Introduction Various designs of furnit
18、ure for general office use exist as a consequence of rapid technological evolutions. This European Standard relates to office furniture of contemporary design. The dimensions in this standard are based on the requirements of anthropometric measurements, mechanical design, subjective preference and o
19、ther factors. The dimensional requirements of the tables and desks are based upon the 5thand 95thpercentile of the European office user group. In general, this is the 5thpercentile female and the 95thpercentile male (from 1493 mm to 1913 mm for the stature height). To accomplish the needs of users o
20、utside this range, individual solutions can be applied. Some European countries can have 5thpercentile females and/or 95thpercentile males outside this European user group. DIN EN 527-1:2011-08 EN 527-1:2011 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies dimensions of work tables and desks for offic
21、e tasks to be undertaken in a seated, a sit stand or standing position. It includes neither dimensions for storage unit nor those for other tables in the office area or reception desks. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

26、sions 4.1 Measurement procedure Position the work table/desk on a flat horizontal and rigid floor surface, with levelling device(s) fully closed. Inclinable desk top work surfaces shall be set to the horizontal or as near to the horizontal as possible. Before commencing measurement procedure, it sha
27、ll be determined whether the table/desk is for sitting, standing or sit/stand use. The minimum and maximum height of work surface shall be measured at the front edge (see Figure 1) and the adjustment range shall be recorded. For height selectable work tables/desks type B and D the minimum height inc
28、rements shall also be recorded. The legroom depth shall be measured at the working position and with the rear edge of the work table/desk placed against a vertical wall. Figure 1 shows the legroom for all work surfaces which have straight front edges at least all along the width, W, see Table 1. In
29、these cases, the legroom shall be rectangular with dimensions as specified in Table 1. Figure 2 shows the legroom for all work surfaces with non-straight front edges. In these cases, the legroom shall be curved with dimensions as specified in Table 1. 4.2 Requirements The dimensions of tables/desks
30、shall be as specified in Table 1.

42、2011-08 EN 527-1:2011 (E) 12 Annex A (informative) General ergonomic principles and explanations to Table 1 A.1 General The functional dimensions of work tables/desks are shown in Table 1. There are four types of desks, A, B, C and D, based on their height adjustability/selectability. The dimensiona
43、l requirements vary depending on how they are used i.e. whether the users are sitting or standing or can vary their posture from sitting to standing (and anything in between). The legroom clearance height is determined by the maximum desk top thicknesses t1at the front edge and t2at 500 mm from the
44、front edge. The reason for this is to make the measurement process simpler. The maximum desk top thickness has been calculated by subtracting the legroom height requirement from height of the work surface of a fixed height desk. The work tables/desks complying with the Type A and B height of the wor
45、k surface and the maximum desk top thickness requirements will accommodate the 95thpercentile European male. The minimum foot clearance height is specified to allow a clearance under any part of the rear of the work surface/desk such as a modesty panel so that users can place their feet on the floor
46、 without hitting any part of the desk. For standing work tables/desks only, there is an additional requirement for the minimum foot clearance depth so that users standing in front of the table/desk can work without hitting any obstruction under the work table/desk. The minimum legroom depth and widt
47、h for sitting and sit/stand work tables/desks is shown in Figure 2. For these work tables/desks, only the legroom depth is specified at knee height and at floor level.This should be deeper than the depth at knee height in order to allow the users to stretch their legs forward at angle of 30 degrees
48、between their lower leg and the vertical and without their feet hitting any part of the work table/desk at the floor level. The minimum desk top depth (800 mm and 600 mm in some situations) can be different from the required minimum legroom depth. The minimum desk top depth is based on the comfortab
49、le eye to monitor distance which should be between 450 mm to 750 mm as specified in A.2.12 of EN ISO 9241-5:1999. The minimum legroom width for sitting applications (i.e. the gap between the legs or any part or component of the work table/desk at the sides) is specified sufficiently large to allow users to rotate their chairs rather than twist their spines when reaching sideways. The minimum legroom width for standing applications is based on the distance between the outsides of users legs when standing with their legs slightly apart. The dimens
