Meaning of Stationary Objects made of brittle materials

Dear colleagues,

here in Finland we, non-native English speakers, had a discussion about the stationary objects made of or incorporating glass or brittle material. I think stationary objects means equipment, covers, machines or similar in the production made of or incorporating glass or brittle material. My colleagues thinks stationary objects means office supplies: rules, pens etc. Which ones the standards means?

Thank you so much in advance!

You are the most correct. Stationary objects means equipment, etc that isn't moved.

In the US - office supplies, etc would be stationery. Slight difference and easily confused even by native English speakers.

Thank you very much! For me this was a comic confusion =)
