Ergonomics and international standards: introduction, brief review of standards for anthropometry and control room design and useful information.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) coordinates the production of internationally accepted standards, and involves over 100 countries. ISO TC 159 'Ergonomics' was set up in 1975. In 1988, the Comite Europeen De Nomalisation (CEN) established CEN TC 122 'Ergonomics' for the production of European standards. An exhaustive list of standards, proposed standards and work items is provided. Standards in the areas of anthropometry and control room design are presented. Additional useful information is provided in the form of abbreviations and terms and a list of addresses of where to obtain standards.
