Practical Notes
This standard is primarily used for bulk procurement by government departments, libraries, and large institutions to ensure a consistent quality standard.
Ensure the base is fitted with a non-slip material like felt or cork to prevent scratching surfaces and improve stability.
Check for sharp edges or burrs, especially at the corners and base, which is a common manufacturing defect.
