Your Guide To Specifying Educational Furniture The importance of good furniture is often overlooked in the school environment. Furniture is, however, an integral part of how we interact with our environment. We spend much of our time seated at desks working. If the furniture we use is not suitable we risk injury from overreaching, repetitive strain injuries and back and neck problems. With school children whose bodies are developing, we risk affecting their posture and backs for life. Furniture must be suitable for the size of the user and for the purpose intended. As a specifier you cannot go to a furniture store and buy furniture intended for domestic use and utilise it in a school. Use in the home is much less severe than that in a school and therefore the life expectancy of domestic furniture in a nondomestic environment is shortened, thereby affecting return on capital investment. A further consideration is that domestic furniture will have been designed for a different use, for example maybe lounging rather than working and may not be suitable ergonomically. In the following articles we have worked with FIRA to highlight key pointers to help you specify and buy furniture for schools that is safe, appropriate and durable. 402

Buying School Furniture | Conditions
What is BS EN-1729? BS EN 1729 is the new European standard for tables and chairs used in schools. It replaced the old British Standard BS 5873 in 2006. The new standard comes in two parts: Part 1 dimensional requirements and Part 2 safety requirements and any product should fulfil both parts to be fully compliant with BS EN-1729.
What to look for when buying school tables... 1. Table sizes should be appropriate for the children using them and should comply with BS EN-1729, Part 1. Please see page 20 of this 2011/12 KCF Furniture Directory for a simple guide.
What to look for when buying school chairs... 1. Chair sizes should be appropriate for the children using them and should comply with BS EN-1729, Part 1. Please see page 20 of this 2011/12 KCF Furniture Directory for a simple guide. 2. Specify chairs that are tested and certified BS EN-1729, Part 2 by an independent UKAS accredited test laboratory such as FIRA. This provides the reassurance that the chairs will be safe and durable. 3. Check that the chair is suitably fire retardant as part of your fire risk assessment (if upholstered it should be certified to BS 7176; plastic chairs should be certified to Clause 12 of BS 5852).
2. Specify tables that are tested and certified BS EN-1729, Part 2 by an independent UKAS accredited test laboratory such as FIRA. This gives you the reassurance that the tables will be safe, stable and durable. 3. Tables should have surface finishes that are suitable for the task. This will differ depending on whether they are used for general classroom or specialist use. 4. Avoid white or gloss surfaces if you are using the desks with computer screens as the glare may be a problem. 5. Tables should be versatile – easy to rearrange and stack if required 6. Tables with additional features such as bag hooks may be an advantage.
4. If adjustable chairs are selected, they should be quick and easy to adjust to maximise learning time in the classroom. 5. Chairs should promote dynamic postures and allow movement to increase blood flow to the muscles and brain, improving concentration and alertness. Chairs should be easy to rearrange and stack if required. 6. It goes without saying that chairs should be comfortable and look good. Is there anything else I need to look for? EN-1729 provides a starting point for selecting furniture, but you need to look further when choosing furniture that will stand out from the crowd. Furniture should: • Promote dynamic postures and allow movement. • Allow flexibility in teaching and learning styles. • Be durable. • Come from companies committed to sustainability – being a member of FISP (Furniture Industry Sustainability Programme) is one way of showing this commitment. • Be easily and quickly adjustable. • Be easy to maintain and have a suitable warranty. • Be aesthetically pleasing and comfortable to use.
What to look for when buying school storage... 1. Stability is the key issue. If the item cannot be rigidly attached to the building it must be stable. 2. Look for storage units that have been tested and certified to the relevant British and European standards for strength, safety and durability (BS 5873 Parts 4 & 5 for classrooms, and BS EN-14727 for laboratories) by an independent UKAS accredited test laboratory such as FIRA. 3. Storage should be of an appropriate design for the purpose. Classroom or general locker storage requirements are different to those for sports or musical instruments. 4. Storage should be secure when required. Consider if it needs to be lockable.
• Have additional features if needed.
5. Storage must be accessible to those who will be using it, be the correct height for the users and have shelves and hooks in suitable locations.
Buying furniture that meets these needs ensures children and schools get the most out of their learning environments.
6. If trays are designed to be taken out of the storage unit, check that they are not too heavy for children to carry.

Buying Office Furniture | Conditions
What to look for when buying office desks... 1. Desks and tables should be stable, safe and durable. Look for products that have been independently tested to BS EN-527, Parts 2 & 3. 2. If you are going to use power and data cables within the desk check that they either meet, or can meet the requirements of BS 6396. Electrical network systems should only be fitted by a competent person. 3. Desks and tables should fit your staff. Products that have been independently verified as conforming to BS EN-527, Part 1 should be suitable for 95% of the adult population. However, you also need to check if you have very tall people, or people with special needs who would need chairs outside of the range of requirements of this standard.
What to look for when buying office chairs... 1. Think about who is using the chair and for how long. There are standards for stability, strength and durability based on weight and time use. Buying the appropriate type will save you money. 2. Chairs that comply to BS 5459, Part 2 are suitable for people weighing up to 150kg and for up to 24 hour use, while those that comply with BS EN-1335, Parts 2 & 3 are suitable for people weighing up to 110kg and up to 8 hour use. 3. If the chairs feature upholstery, check that this is suitably fire retardant (it should be certified to BS 7176) as part of your fire risk assessment.
4. Legally, you need to ensure that desks comply with the Display Screen Equipment Regulations. Purchasing products that comply with BS EN ISO 9241, Part 5, is an easy way of meeting the regulations. 5. Make sure there’s ample legroom and that nothing protrudes into the legroom under the desk. 6. Check that the work surface size is big enough for the computer monitor and anything else necessary for the job. 7. Avoid white or gloss surfaces if you are using the desks with computer screens as the glare may be a problem. 8. If the desk is height adjustable by the user it should be easy to operate, crank adjustments are acceptable for sit-sit desks but for sit-stand desks the adjustment should be electrical (otherwise you’ll have sore arms!).
4. Chairs should fit your staff. Chairs that have been independently verified as conforming to BS EN-1335, Part 1 should be suitable for 95% of the adult population. However, you also need to check if you have very short or very tall people, or people with special needs who would require chairs outside of the range of requirements of BS EN-1335, Part 1. 5. Legally, you need to ensure that chairs comply with the Display Screen Equipment Regulations. Purchasing chairs that comply with BS EN ISO 9241, Part 5, is an easy way of meeting the regulations. 6. Don’t be tempted by cheap ‘home office’ furniture – it is unlikely to have been designed to meet the rigours of office use or the ergonomic requirements. 7. Chairs should encourage different and dynamic postures and allow users to move rather than fidget. 8. Chairs should recline and have good back support at all times, i.e. the occupant’s back should not lose contact with the backrest. 9. Backrest tension should be adjustable to suit the body weight of your staff so that they can recline without being pushed forward or falling backwards. Ideally this adjustment should be automatic, but manual adjustments are ok, provided that they can be easily reached and adjusted. 10. Ideally armrests should be adjustable for height and width so that the chairs can accommodate all sizes. Armrests should not stop you getting close to the desk, otherwise you’ll be over reaching. 11. Make sure it’s easy to see how to adjust the chair. A top of the range, fully adjustable chair that isn’t set up to match the user can cause as many problems as a chair with no adjustments.
What to look for when buying office storage... 1. Stability is the key issue. If the item cannot be rigidly attached to the building it must be stable. 2. Look for storage units that have been tested and certified to the relevant British and European standards for strength, safety and durability by an independent UKAS accredited test laboratory such as FIRA. In most cases this will be BS EN 14073 Parts 2 & 3 and BS EN 14074. 3. For filing cabinets and pedestals check that there are interlocks to stop more than one drawer being opened at a time. 4. Avoid purchasing storage units with doors and drawers which will intrude into walkways. Tambour units are recommended, as they help reduce trip hazards. 5. There is a need to distinguish between storage for personal items and individual/shared work items. Pedestals are not always the best choice for individual storage. 6. Mobile storage should have good handholds and be easily manoeuvrable. 7. Storage that has folding keys reduces the chance of personal injury and damage to the keys.

Conditions | Education Projects
Education Projects Staff areas have always been the central hub of the school faculty. For many years these key areas have been overlooked or under utilised. Over recent years we have focused on providing schools with smart modern facilities that both enhance the emotional ambience aesthetic of the school while providing a flexible and dynamic space for teachers to meet, relax and work.

Communal Spaces | Conditions
Communal Spaces As well as staffrooms, communal spaces translate well into a wide range of applications in both the education, local government and commercial sectors. They provide spaces to get away from the workstation and are often used as informal meeting zones as well as areas for taking refreshment breaks. We can provide a full consultation, design and planning service to ensure you make the best from the space available and by using products from commercial design suppliers, we are able to provide products that are stylish as well as robust and have a wide selection of products to suit all budgets and design tastes. Products typically used in these areas include bench seating, individual soft chairs, cafe or meeting seating and tables, as well as IT touchdown benching or seating.
