This document specifies best practices for considering body size and shape (anthropometry) in design. Since most products, tasks, and environments interact with multiple user attributes at the same time, multivariate design techniques are necessary to obtain accurate accommodation estimates. Although the approach outlined can also incorporate user preference unrelated to anthropometry, the focus in this document is on “fit” and the spatial accommodation of users.

This document describes a procedure for analysing human activity in relation to specifying and refining the human component in the design or redesign of machinery and work systems. NOTE 1 The ergonomics methodology described in this document could also be applied to the design or redesign of products and non-work systems. This document is intended to assist project leaders in implementing human and physical resources, methods and schedules as well as in preparing the documents necessary to meeting related requirements. The ergonomics methodology described can be applied to all different stages in design projects from the earliest concept to the final “prototype” or “mock-up”, whatever the industrial field or sector. The objective of this standard is to achieve a solution that takes into account as many situations as possible which all users - including operators, maintenance staff and installers, may encounter. This will ultimately allow improved usability of the machinery and more robust technical solutions, combined with significantly greater system resilience, user autonomy and accessibility. NOTE 2 Examples of the application of the methodology described in this document are provided in Annex A.

This document provides a method for creating conspicuous colour combinations for use in visual signs and displays in which multiple colours are used in various combinations to make them visible and conspicuous to people with colour deficiencies and low vision. This document addresses protanopia and deuteranopia of dichromatic colour vision as typical cases of colour deficiency. This document does not cover tritanopia (another type of dichromatic colour vision) and anomalous trichromatic colour vision (protanomalous, deuteranomalous and tritanomalous) due to a lack of data. This document covers low vision caused by various types of eye diseases, such as retinitis pigmentosa, macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataract, and others. It does not cover amblyopia, which also brings extremely low visual acuity but is classified differently in the medical field. NOTE "Low vision" includes various types of permanent conditions of reduced visual abilities that cannot be rectified by optical refractive correction, and that are accompanied by extremely low visual acuity or limited visual field, central or peripheral. This document applies to the reflective or object-mode of colours, but can apply to the self-luminous-mode of colours if their colour coordinates are appropriately transferred to those of the object-mode of colours.

The scope of this document encompasses design parameters of external visual communication used by single mode L4/L5 automated driving system-dedicated vehicles (ADS-DVs), as defined in SAE J3016. Guidance is given for passenger cars (including sport utility vehicles and light trucks) and commercial vehicles (including heavy trucks and buses), as well as derivatives of them that carry or do not carry compartments for occupants (i.e. driver or passengers). These vehicles can be operated in different domains, covering several alternative scenarios and use cases (e.g. open roads, motorways, urban environments, confined areas, geo-fenced areas with dedicated lanes, ports, terminals, pits). It is assumed that the design of ADS-DVs will be unique, thus making it readily apparent that the vehicle is an ADS-DV (see also Annex A for descriptions of use cases concerning the need for communication). The wide range of domains makes it important to consider users with different experiences and abilities, e.g. experienced and inexperienced drivers, elderly, people with disabilities and children.

This document provides a taxonomy to classify the type of adaptivity within vehicle systems. The taxonomy includes five types ranging from no adaptation (type 0) to adaptations based on interpreted user characteristics and context data (type 4). This document provides definitions of the five types of adaptation and explains adaptation in a consistent and coherent manner. By offering definitions and descriptions of the five types, this document can be used to classify the adaptivity within vehicle systems according to the types. This document is intended to be applied to all components of vehicle systems that the driver and/or other occupants interact with either while driving or while parked. This includes vehicle information systems, communication systems, for example, navigation systems or mobile devices connected to the vehicle infrastructure, traffic and travel information (TTI) systems, as well as vehicle comfort systems, for example, climate control, massage, or ambient lighting. The taxonomy is also applicable to third-party software provided by third-party suppliers that is displayed and/or operated in the vehicle. The taxonomy can also be applied to interactive exterior elements, like windscreen wipers or pedestrian communication devices and non-driving-related functions that are novel to future vehicles in the context of automated driving, such as playing a video. The information and communication vehicle systems described in this document exclude driving-operation or driving-assistance systems. Consequently, safety-related functions governed by Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) specifications (ISO 26262) are not addressed. Implementation and validation of data collection/detection are also beyond the scope. Additionally, priority handling, as well as varying legal regulations across countries, are not covered in the taxonomy.

This document describes the “Feedback Method”, a method designed specifically to collect the contribution of machinery end-users by reconstructing and understanding how work is actually performed (i.e. the real work). This method can help to improve technical standards, as well as the design, manufacturing, and use of machinery. By collecting the experiences of skilled users, this method can be used to reconstruct their actual work activities under different operating conditions and with any kind of machine. This helps to identify all the critical aspects having an impact on health and safety, or associated with ergonomic principles. Moreover, it makes it possible to identify some basic elements for defining the standards for machines and for their revision and improvement. It can also improve production efficiency and identify any need for additional study and research. The method is designed to minimize the influence of the subjectivity of the facilitators and researchers in reconstructing and describing the reality of work, and to maximize the “objective” contribution of the skilled users of the machine. The method combines a high level of reproducibility, sensitivity, and user-friendliness with low demands in term of resources, which makes it attractive to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises. This document is addressed to standards writers, designers and manufacturers, employers-buyers, end users, craftsmen and workers, market surveillance and authorities.

This document specifies general requirements for anthropometric databases and their associated reports that contain measurements taken in accordance with ISO 7250-1.
It provides necessary information, such as characteristics of the user population, sampling methods, measurement items and statistics, to make international comparison possible among various population segments. The population segments specified in this document are people who are able to hold the postures specified in ISO 7250-1.
NOTE The traditional anthropometry defined in ISO 7250-1 is considered to be a necessary complement to 3-D methods, which are used in some countries. Scanned data are verified according to the definitions given in ISO 7250-1 (see ISO 20685-1). State-of-the-art software allows integration of traditional anthropometric measures with those obtained by 3-D imaging.

This document contains test methods for comparing the performance of different ensembles as part of any PPE selection process.
This document does not replace the product standards for the certification of individual items of PPE. It specifies the testing of individual items of PPE as an ensemble, so that the interactions between the individual items of PPE can be evaluated and any adverse interactions between the individual items of PPE, the user and the environment can be identified.
It specifies requirements for testing by either assessing the performance of a PPE ensemble against a benchmark condition (i.e. benchmark testing) or assessing the performance of two or more PPE ensembles against each other (i.e. comparative testing).
This document incorporates examples of laboratory and field tests. It can also be used to assess the performance regarding the ergonomics of an ensemble that incorporates an item of PPE that has never before been incorporated into an ensemble, and the listed methods can be combined into dedicated test batteries for evaluating that ensemble.
