Foreword Kenya Bureau of Standards is a national standards body (NSB). The work of preparing Kenya Standards is normally carried out through national technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. National organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with KEBS, also take part in the work.
Kenya Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the KS ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare National Standards. Draft Kenya Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the technical committee members for balloting. Publication as a Kenya Standard requires approval by at least 2/3 of the members casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. KEBS shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This Kenya Standard was prepared by Technical Committee KEBS/TC 164, Furniture.
During the preparation of this standard, reference was made to the following documents: IS 3663: 1993: Dimensions of tables and Chairs for office purposes The assistance derived from these publications is hereby acknowledged.

adjustable desk.
7.2.2 Height adjustable work surfaces The following requirements apply:
(a) Work surfaces with height adjustment capability in the vertical direction shall have a
minimum travel of 150 mm (see Figure 1(c)). (b) Where adjustable, t he top of the work surface shall include a range of movement

alone.
(c) Control knobs, buttons or handles shall be smooth and comfortable to the hand
and positioned to avoid personal injury and damage to clothing. They shall also be placed
or shielded to avoid accidental operation. Knobs and handles shall not be easily
removable.
(d) The function and direction of movement of each control shall be clearly marked or otherwise o b v i o u s . Mechanical and e l e c t r i c a l controls s h a l l comply with t h e conventions for directions of movement set out in IEC 447.

(a) Sufficient space should be provided under the work surface to allow free leg
movement without obstruction.
(b) The minimum knee space shall be 650 mm wide and 450 mm deep (see Figure 3 ).
For fixed height work surfaces the minimum height of the knee space shall be
