16. PSA certified pedestals Pedestals are tested as part of all system testing Specific pedestal testing also undertaken –Horizontal load test –Vertical load test at centre of pedestal head over one quadrant of pedestal head Horizontal load test measures the degree of free play in the pedestal when subject to a horizontal load at the pedestal head Vertical load at centre of pedestal head is 10.8kN for light grade and 18kN for medium, heavy and extra heavy Vertical load over one quadrant is 8.1kN for light grade and 13.5kN for medium, heavy and extra heavy

17. Pedestals;- Alpha I / Kped01 All steel construction electro plated for corrosion protection Baseplate 100mm square as PSA, 2.5mm thick 90mm dia head, caps fitted for panel location Good electrical continuity from panel to earth Caters for floor heights from 55mm to 90mm by the use of three tube/socket lengths to give Kped01 A, B or C

20. Pedestal Caps Fit all pedestal types Incorporate copper electrical continuity links were required Caps provide location and lateral stability for the panels

21. Stringers Steel construction, snap into pedestal head Used to provide lateral stability at increased floor heights, 600mm upwards for bare panels Introduced with factory finished panels at floor heights of 450mm upwards, help to maintain tight grid on finished floor surface Used to increase the structural performance of the floor, heavy to extra heavy, localised heavy equipment, rolling loads etc

22. BS EN 12825 pedestals Pedestals are tested as part of all system testing Specific pedestal testing also undertaken –Vertical load test at centre of pedestal head This load is 4 times the working load of the system

23. BS EN 12825 product classification Pedestals Kped05 is tested to 4 times the working load of KH60WS10G FFH from 80mm to 350mm 50mm adjustment 90mm dia head, standard caps fit 100mm square baseplate Use Kped01, 04 and 03 as previously outlined

24. BS EN 12825 product application

26. Alternative specifications Assume a working load of 3kN is required with a deflection of less than 2.5mm KAF offer REG600 (KH60WS9G), classification of 4/3/A/2 Alternative product offered with classification of 2/2/A/2 This product offers a ultimate load of ≥ 6kN, safety factor of 2 and a deflection of less than 2.5mm at a 3kN working load

27. Alternative specifications At present we compete primarily on price BS EN 12825 raises the possibility that we will also have to compete on specification There will be a need to develop strategies to protect our product specifications from alternative product specifications However once specification is written by the design team there is a reluctance to re-visit without significant savings

28. Summary PSA specification is a comprehensive document that covers all aspects of raised access flooring PSA and K41 makes the specification process of raised access flooring very straightforward in many cases BS EN 12825 is primarily a means of allowing selection on the basis of product classification The test methods of BS EN are significantly different to those of the PSA spec Product classifications are primarily based on KAF recommendations of a safety factor of 3 and a deflection of 2.5

29. Summary Alternative classifications to give range over which products can be used Looked at KAF products with their performance against BS EN and PSA specifications Application charts to provide guidance on areas of use Opportunities provided by BS EN to maintain specification, however strategies needed to defend from alternative specifications
