• Input Surface – Height Adjustment Range
• Monitor Support Surface
• Monitor View Angle Positioning Requirements
• Monitor Focal Length Requirements
• Operator Clearances

• Reduces musculoskeletal injuries
• Decreases absenteeism and workers’ compensation claims
• Increases morale and retention

Quality

Xybix passes all rigorous tests for structural integrity and durability of the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association (BIFMA). This includes testing all:

• Height-Adjustable Consoles

• Promotes longer life with fewer service calls

Emissions

Greenguard Indoor Air Quality testing ensures low chemical emissions from all materials. Xybix products are certified according to the UL 2818-2013 Standard for Chemical Emissions for Building Materials, Finishes and Furnishings.

• Promotes healthier indoor air
• Earns points toward LEED certification

Fire & Electrical Safety

Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and Canadian Standards Association (CSA) test electrical components for fire and electrical safety.

• Ensures safety
• Lowers energy usage
• Decreases heat production

Sound & Fire Safety

The American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) protocols are used to verify sound absorption and fire safety characteristics.

• Acoustics Procedure C423-08 Standard Test Method for Sound Absorption and Sound Absorption Coefficients by the Reverberation Room Method verifies the high NRC values of Xybix systems.
• E-84 Test for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials verifies the Class A Flame Spread rating of Xybix systems.

• Quieter workspaces for concentration
• Decreases fire risk for a safer workplace
