BS EN 1729-1:2015EN 1729-1:2015 (E) 4 Introduction This part of EN 1729 is based on the principle that chairs and tables, intended for use in educational institutions for general-purpose education, should be designed to encourage good postures. This part of EN 1729 takes selected national stand
24、ards into consideration. It does not specify design, but only those dimensions which promote good posture for either fixed or adjustable furniture. The dimensional requirements of this European Standard permit various interpretations of design; hence customs, educational practices, technical and fin
25、ancial circumstances of individual countries can be satisfied. It includes a rationale for the determination of functional dimensions. The minimum dimensions specified are considered as the absolute minimum. They can be exceeded. The maximum dimensions specified are considered as the absolute maximu
26、m; smaller dimensions can be used. EN 1729-2 specifies safety requirements and test methods. BS EN 1729-1:2015EN 1729-1:2015 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies functional dimensions and markings for all chairs, stools and tables, for educational institutions, including fixed and adjustab
27、le chairs and tables. It applies to both un-upholstered and upholstered chairs and stools as well as to both non-swivel and swivel chairs. It applies to furniture for use with laptop computers or portable devices. It does not apply to ranked seating or special purpose workstations. It does not apply
28、 to furniture used by teaching personnel. Annex A (normative) includes single-sloped chairs and associated tables. Annex B (normative) includes double-sloped high chairs and associated tables. Annex C (normative) includes standing-height tables. Annex D (normative) includes tall chairs and associate
29、d tables. Annex E (normative) includes stools and associated worksurfaces. Annex F (normative) includes measurement methods. Annex G (informative) includes guidance on size marks for adjustable chairs and tables. Annex H (informative) includes guidance on calculating heights of double-sloped chairs
30、and associated tables. Annex I (informative) includes a rationale for functional dimensions. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
