19、ederation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that co

20、mmittee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accor

21、dance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requir

22、es approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights.

30、241 series that establish requirements for the ergonomic design of electronic visual displays. At the same time, this “300” subseries replaces either partially or fully certain previously published parts of ISO 9241 as well as several other International Standards (see the Forewords of the respectiv

31、e parts for the details). An introduction to the subseries is given by ISO 9241-300. Terms and definitions related to electronic visual displays have been transferred to, and collected in, ISO 9241-302. While the areas previously covered in ISO 9241 and by ISO 13406 remain essentially unchanged, tes

32、t methods and requirements have been updated to account for advances in science and technology. All generic ergonomic requirements have been incorporated into ISO 9241-303. The application of those requirements to different display technologies, application areas and environmental conditions includi

33、ng test methods and pass/fail criteria are specified in ISO 9241-307. Methods for performing formal display measurements to determine display characteristics and verify technical specifications (tests that can be very costly and time-consuming and that are normally performed under rigorous test cond

34、itions with a new device) are given in ISO 9241-305 and ISO 9241-307. In addition, guidance on the design of SED (surface-conduction electron-emitter displays) and OLED (organic light-emitting diode) displays is given in ISO/TR 9241-308 and ISO/TR 9241-309. The overall modular structure of the subse

35、ries will facilitate its revision and amendment, as ongoing technological development enables new forms of display interaction. This part of ISO 9241 is concerned with ergonomic workplace assessment and is aimed at providing a means of assessing whether or not the visual ergonomic requirements speci

36、fied in ISO 9241-303 are satisfied within a specified task setting. The intention is not necessarily to produce a perfect display with optimum visual characteristics, but rather to ensure that the needed qualities to perform the visual task satisfactorily are indeed present. During the lifetime of a

37、 display, the context in which it is used can often vary; “ageing” normally takes place as the display is used and, as a result, the performance of the display may be reduced over time. The lighting conditions under which a display is used often also vary. In actual VDT workstation use, the main erg

38、onomic concerns are the visual task being performed and the input devices being used to accomplish the task. There are several factors that make the performance of a visual task using a VDT different from that in many other non-VDT or paper tasks. These factors are related to the positioning of the

39、various elements needed for performing the visual task. The ergonomic goal is to be able to read the information on the display comfortably, easily, accurately and quickly (where necessary) as when a paper “hardcopy” placed on the work desk is read. One consideration is what might be called the posi

40、tional sensitivity of the screen. If positioned poorly, displays are susceptible to external light sources: these can be reflected back to the viewer and can contribute to reduced legibility of the information on the screen. In more compelling environments, these light sources can give rise to glare

41、. They can come from either natural light from windows or from artificial lighting systems such as overhead mounted luminaries in offices. BS EN ISO 9241-306:2008ISO 9241-306:2008(E) ISO 2008 All rights reserved viiGiven the size and dimensions of most displays, a display is typically oriented in a

42、vertical rather than horizontal position. This orientation and position of the information to be read is considerably different than that when a book or paper placed on the desk is read. The line of sight from the eye to the visual task is raised up to 45, giving rise to a quite different visual bac

43、kground, often with a varying luminous background arising from walls and other objects in the environment. These factors can affect the working posture of a user trying to compensate between the line of sight angle to the display needed to be maintained and the distance to the visual task. These and

44、 other considerations demonstrate that the positioning of a display is much more important than the mere positioning of paper or other hardcopy reading materials. They gives rise to the need to be able to adjust the display for orientation and height and to have the flexibility to set up the worksta

45、tion equipment so that the needs of a specific user can be realized. The combination of display, lighting environment and workstation equipment are the basics for an ergonomically well-designed workplace. Unlike most visual task materials, displays are intended to be used for several years. Many oth

46、er kinds of work materials are used only once or a few times, or are renewed or refreshed when visibility is too low or possibly too uncertain (e.g. safety instructions or warnings), or else simply remain unchanged over time. The display assessment methods presented in this part of ISO 9241 do not,

47、in most cases, require expensive measuring equipment and will in general be able to be carried out easily in a working field environment. In conducting these assessments, it ought to be possible to determine whether a problem is related to a) the display itself (or the display in combination with th

48、e graphic adapter), b) the application software, or c) physical environmental conditions. In cases involving a), the display, it is beneficial that the workstation set-up be reviewed to determine whether it meets the suppliers recommendations; if it does not, another assessment will need to be perfo

49、rmed to determine how it can be made to meet them. In cases involving b), the application software, it might be necessary to contact the software developers of the application product in order to ascertain possible corrective action. In cases involving c), conditions in the physical environment, simple re-orientations or the repositioning of the workstation and/or display can be a satisfactory solution; whereas, in more complex situations, arrangements might need to be mad
