SAFETY STATEMENT
WARNING
POTENTIAL FOR INJURY: The use of worksurfaces that do not comply with the AMQ defined criteria and limitations
could cause personal injury or property damage due to pinch points, instability, or other problems.
POTENTIAL FOR NON-COMPLIANCE: The use of work surfaces that do not comply with AMQ criteria VOIDS any
AMQ claims of compliance with ANSI/BIFMA, UL, LEED, or other applicable requirements. The use of non-AMQ work
surfaces on AMQ adjustable-height bases may NOT be accepted as compliant to municipal electrical codes or OSHA
federal workplace standards, because this use does not create an NRTL (UL, ETL, etc.) listed product. AMQ is not
responsible for the ultimate determinations of compliance for height-adjustable bases with non-AMQ work surfaces.AMO
assumes NO liability for lack of standards compliance in these instances.
WARRANTY RESTRICTIONS: The use of non-AMQ supplied work surfaces VOIDS all AMQ warranties, expressed or
implied.
DISCLAIMER: The use of non-AMQ work surfaces is NOT recommended. Any use of a non-AMQ work surface
requires additional investigation by the customer regarding the appropriateness for use. It is the sole responsibility of
the customer to determine the suitability and safety of the selected work surface construction and attachment means.
The following information is provided as a guideline, but does not address all potential issues. Customers should seek
professional guidance as to the appropriateness of their chosen work surface.
MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS REGARDLESS OF WORK SURFACE MATERIAL OR CONSTRUCTION:
FASTENERS: Adjustable-height bases include fasteners intended for use with AMQ work surfaces.
These fasteners may potentially also be suitable for work surfaces meeting the following criteria:
• Medium-density or higher particleboard or fiberboard cores with High-pressure laminate (HPL), Lowpressure
laminate (LPL) or veneer & backers
• Thickness of .984" (25.0 mm) or greater
• Fasteners located a minimum distance of .984" (25.0 mm) from any edge
Any other work surface construction will require different and/or additional fastening means and these means must be
determined by the project's designer, architect, or engineer. For example, solid-surface materials should use appropriate
threaded inserts and corresponding fasteners or
similar attachment means.
In all cases, all fastener locations provided in the
base attachment features MUST be used (e.g. if
attachment plate has 6 screw holes, all 6 holes
must be used for attachment).
FLAMMABILITY: Any worksurface or similar large
part> 10ft" 2 must have a flame spread< 200
and a smoke developed index < 450 when tested
per UL 723.
SHARP EDGES: All accessible edges of the
work surface must meet 1439 test for sharp
edges.
DIMENSIONAL LIMITATIONS:
• Work surface depth not to exceed
30"(762mm)
• Longitudinal work surface position on base
must be on centerline
• Maximum work surface width may not
exceed 72" (1828.8 mm)
• Work surface overhang (distance from side
of support cantilever to edge of work surface)
must be greater than .75" (19mm) and may not exceed 1.25" (32 mm)
FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS PROVIDED FOR BASE+ WORK SURFACE.
