NOTE: Select flame spread and smoke development in
accordance with MIL-HDBK 1008C. Verify that flame
spread and smoke development ratings can be met with
fabric specified.
**************************************************************************
Components shall meet requirements for flame spread and smoke development
as specified by NFPA 101 except as follows. Testing shall have been
conducted in accordance with either ASTM E 84, UL 723, or NFPA 255 on the
entire assembled panel and each different combination of fabric and
interior construction. In addition, fabric shall meet the requirements of
NFPA 265. Panel flame spread shall not exceed [[25 for Class A] [75 for
Class B] [200 for Class C]] and panel smoke development shall not exceed
450 for Class A, B and C.
2.1.4
General Safety
Workstation products shall be free of rough or sharp edges. [Panel and
spine wall supported components shall have a positive, integral locking
device which secures components without the use of additional screws or
clamps to prevent the components from being accidentally pulled or knocked
off the panels.] [Desk-based workstation components shall have the option
for a positive, integral locking device that secures components to the base
units.]
2.1.5
Electrical System
Task lights shall be UL approved and shall meet the requirements of NFPA 70.
The electrical system shall meet the requirements of UL 1286.
2.1.6
Panel Glazing
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Curved glazed panels should not be specified
since most products utilize an acrylic glazing.
Acrylic glazing is not acceptable since it does not
meet flame spread and smoke development requirements.
**************************************************************************
Tempered glass shall conform to ASTM C 1048, Kind FT, Condition A, Type I,
[Class 1 Transparent] [Class 3 - Light reducing, tinted or translucent].
2.2
[PANEL SYSTEM] [SPINE WALL SYSTEM] [DESK-BASED SYSTEMS]
**************************************************************************
NOTE: A spine wall system may be used in
combination with a panel system. In these
applications, the spine wall serves as the core of a
cluster of workstations. Spine wall systems can be
used with other manufacturer's panel systems.
**************************************************************************
2.2.1
Panel System
Accessories and appurtenances for a completely finished panel assembly
shall be supplied complete with the system. The system shall be capable of
structurally supporting cantilevered work surfaces, shelves, files, and
other components in the configurations shown on the drawings. The panel
system shall be capable of structurally supporting more than one fully
