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 worksurfaces 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 worksurfaces 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 worksurfaces. AMO assumes NO liability for lack of
standards compliance in these instances.
WARRANTY RESTRICTIONS: The use of non-AMQ supplied worksurfaces VOIDS all AMQ warranties, expressed or implied .
DISCLAIMER: The use of non-AMQ worksurfaces 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 worksurface 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 worksurface.
MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS REGARDLESS OF WORKSURFACE MATERIAL OR CONSTRUCTION:
FASTENERS: Adjustable-height bases include fasteners intended for use with AMQ worksurfaces.
These fasteners may potentially also be suitable for worksurfaces 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 worksurface 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 worksurface
must meet 1439 test for sharp edges.
DIMENSIONAL LIMITATIONS:
• Worksurface depth not to exceed 30"(762mm)
• Longitudinal worksurface position on base must be
on centerline
• Maximum worksurface width may not exceed 72"
(1828.8 mm)
• Worksurface overhang (distance from side of
support cantilever to edge of worksurface) must be
greater than .75" (19mm) and may not exceed 1.25"
(32 mm)
