Ergonomi

This document provides a self-assessment of an organization’s human-centred design principles, processes, and activities throughout the life cycle of computer-based interactive systems. It also provides an overview of information given in the ISO 9241-200 series of standards. It is intended to be used as an introduction and self-assessment guide to human-centred design (HCD). Its target audience is personnel responsible for and managing design processes, and it is concerned with ways in which both hardware and software components of interactive systems can enhance human–system interaction.

This document does not provide detailed coverage of the methods and techniques required for human-centred design, nor does it address health or safety aspects in detail. Although it addresses the planning and management of human-centred design, it does not address all aspects of project management.

NOTE           Detailed human factors, ergonomics, usability and accessibility issues are dealt with more fully in a number of standards including other parts of ISO 9241 and ISO 6385, which sets out the broad principles of ergonomics.

This document provides recommendations for human-centred design principles to be applied throughout the design lifecycle of products and services. In addition, it provides recommendations for human-centred design activities to achieve human-centred design. The principles and activities address the needs of people directly interacting with the outputs of the design process as well as other people who are stakeholders in their operation. While the document is not intended to be directly applicable to organizational design and the design of work systems, it can be adapted for these purposes.

This document specifies ergonomic, technical and safety requirements for wall-mounted and free-standing writing boards, white projecting boards, interactive systems and interactive screens for use in rooms for educational and training purposes, e.g. classrooms, lecture theatres for schools, universities, etc.

This document applies is applicable to units after installation. Safety depending on the structure of the building is not included, e.g. the strength of wall-mounted boards includes only the board and its parts. The wall and the wall attachment are not included.

This document does not apply to technical aspects of connected hardware, such as computers, speakers, video cameras.

Requirements concerning electrical safety are not included.
