WARNING

Activ-Pro Assembly Guide | 4 amqsolutions.com
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY:
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)
