TSE CEN/TR 14699

TSE CEN/TR 14699 is a terminology document for office furniture, bringing together definitions of terms used in this product area. Standards of this kind help designers, specifiers, testers, suppliers, and purchasers use the same concepts with the same meaning. In the office furniture field, clear terminology is especially important for distinguishing desks, workstations, seating elements, storage units, and their constituent parts.

Why office furniture terminology matters

Terminology standards usually do not prescribe performance requirements; they define the boundaries of concepts. The scope of this document is the definitions of terms relating to office furniture, so its main function is to organize how the product group is named and understood. In general technical practice, that supports consistent language for ergonomics, intended use, layout, modularity, and relationships between components.
