EN 1023 Office Furniture - Screens

In the "EN 1023 Office Furniture - Screens" standard, which is a European standard, the structure and balance, dimensions, mechanical safety requirements and relevant test methods of office wooden partition elements (screens) within the scope of office furniture are explained. Essentially, this standard consists of the following subsections:

• EN 1023-1:1996 Office furniture - Screens - Part 1: Dimensions
• EN 1023-2:2000 Office furniture - Screens - Part 2: Mechanical safety requirements
• EN 1023-3:2000 Office furniture - Screens - Part 3: Test methods

The EN 1023-1 standard specifies the main dimensions of office screens. EN 1023-2 standard specifies the mechanical safety requirements of office screens, which are divided into two groups: general safety requirements and structural safety requirements. The EN 1023-3 standard describes the test methods to determine the stability and structural properties of office screens. In advanced laboratories, office screens are evaluated according to these standards.

Office screens are office furniture that provide private spaces, privacy and defined personal space, as well as the opportunity to easily communicate and collaborate with employees, and are widely used in the commercial field. These screens can also absorb sounds and block visual distractions.

In general, certification criteria include strength, durability, durability and overall safety. The height of office screens greatly affects both visual and acoustic privacy. The best screen height depends on a balance between physical needs and the company's culture. Some designers agree that the partition height of 120-130 cm meets the privacy requirements of the modern office. Meanwhile, for years, acoustic engineers have argued that screens should generally be above the employee's head height to provide significant acoustic privacy. Screens below this height do not block sounds and noise between operating points and increase the amount of unwanted distractions and interruptions.

While testing for office screens, the EN 1023 standard is complied with, while company-specific criteria and special standards are taken into account.
