Specifications for Furniture Systems

Attachment (1) 4 December 2014

1.0 Scope. These specifications describe requirements for office furniture, which features components, work surfaces, and storage that can be panel hung, freestanding or mobile. This allows the panel hung, freestanding, or mobile furniture to be used with panels in an open environment and allows for the same components, work surface, and storage to be moved into private office workspaces to be used as freestanding or mobile furniture.
