Design Specification.

1. Write three design requirements of a storage unit, for an adjustable office task light. Include an explanation for each of your requirements.

Example:

Requirement: The office task light must be adjustable, so that light can be focussed in a variety of directions.

Explanation: When working at a desk, there will be a need to focus the light in a variety of positions, depending on the type of work being carried out.

 
 
 
SAMPLE ANSWERS
 

REQUIREMENT 1: The office / task light must be manufactured from fully recyclable materials.


EXPLANATION: When the office / task light comes to the end of it’s working life, there will be a need to dismantle the light and recycle the materials. The materials can either down-cycled into lower quality products OR reused for spare parts OR up-cycled into higher value products. This will help to protect the environment and attract environmentally conscious customers.


REQUIREMENT 2: The task / office light will be based on an Art Movement.


EXPLANATION: Art Movements have been influential in the design of a vast range of products. For example, art movements have help determine the design / style of cars, buildings, jewellery and furniture and many more. Using an art movement as the basis of a design, will help ensure that the product is commercially successful.


REQUIREMENT 3: The task / office light must be stable, when adjusted in any possible lighting position.


EXPLANATION: Some task lights can be unstable when fully extended. It is important that the light must not ‘topple’ over, as this could be a serious safety issue. According to the design brief, it must be possible to fix the task / office light in position on a table top / surface.
