This standard specifies the requirements for materials, dimensions, manufacture, and finish of drafting stools used primarily in drawing offices, architecture studios, and educational institutions.
Drafting stools-Specification
Quick Reference Values
typical seat height range600 mm to 800 mm (adjustable)
minimum seat diameter330 mm
recommended footrest height200 mm to 250 mm from floor level
number of legs4 or 5 depending on base design
Practical Notes
While traditional drafting has largely been replaced by CAD, this standard remains relevant for specifying ergonomic high-seating in art, design, and architecture studios.
Special attention should be paid to the stability of the stool base and the durability of the footrest, as these are common failure points in high seating.
