WIRELESS CHARGING SURFACE
WPC, QI AND QI CERTIFICATION
Qi (pronounced “chee”) is the predominant standard for wireless
charging. The standard is governed by the Wireless Power
Consortium (WPC) which has more than 575 member companies. To
date, more than 500 million Qi enabled receivers have been shipped.
Qi Certified products have passed rigorous, independent laboratory
tests for safety, interoperability, energy efficiency and quality. To be
certified, they must work with all Qi wireless products regardless
of brand or manufacturer. Qi certification ensures that devices (the
power receivers) and chargers (the power transmitters) always
worktogether for simple and easy charging.

WIRELESS
CHARGING SURFACES INTO FURNITURE DESIGN:
TIPS & BEST PRACTICES
Location of the charging zones will vary from project to project.
The following points represent tips and best practices that should
be considered for placement of the charging zones only. Formica
Group is not responsible and assumes no liability for the design,
engineering, installation, assembly or structural integrity of the
fabricated piece.
• Cavity for electronics module must be at least 1" from all
edges of table/top.
• Blower direction can point up, down, left, or right
(at 90°, 180°, 270°, or 360°).
• Blower inlet and outlet cannot be covered by pedestal, leg, or
other obstruction.
• When placing charging zones near each other, we recommend ..
at least 11" is left between center points of the charging icons.
The electronic module casing must be at least 1" apart.
• When placing two electronics modules near each other, a
blower inlet must be at least 8" from another blower’s outlet.
This rule is to be followed only if blower inlet and outlet are
designed to be near each other.
• If Intentek
™
System is going to be used in an enclosed counter
(i.e. on top of a cabinet or drawer), the enclosed space must
be properly vented. Vent determination is the responsibility
of the furniture designer. Venting must be sufficient to support
the blower at 2CFM.
• Electronics module cannot be in direct contact with
obstructions: edges, screws, pedestals/legs.
