The central element in any educational space is the writing board; sometimes a “blackboard”, “chalkboard” or a “dry-erase board” — all used for teaching.  During today’s session we survey the product and the installation standards with special attention to optics, illumination, mounting heights and distances.

EN 14434: Writing boards for educational institutions. The primary European standard specifically for school whiteboards and chalkboards. Covers safety requirements (no sharp edges, stable frames, non-toxic surfaces), magnetic performance, writability/erasure, durability, fire resistance, and hygiene (easy-to-clean surfaces).
§
ASTM F2957-13 (2021): Standard Specification for Whiteboards. American standard for dry-erase whiteboards.  Defines requirements for surface gloss, erasability, stain resistance, scratch resistance, and color fastness.

§

Some state level  procurement and installation standards — Kansas and Connecticut, for example — are de facto standards for visibility, accessibility and mounting hardware.
