15、zation) is a worldwide federation 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 b
16、e represented on that committee. 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 Standa
17、rds are drafted in accordance 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 Inter
18、national Standard requires 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. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 7250-1
19、was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 159, Ergonomics, Subcommittee SC 3, Anthropometry and biomechanics. This first edition of ISO 7250-1 cancels and replaces ISO 7250:1996, of which it constitutes a minor revision. ISO 7250 consists of the following parts, under the general title Basic human

21、7250-1:2008(E) vi ISO 2008 All rights reservedIntroduction The well-being of people is greatly dependent on their geometrical relationship with various factors such as clothing, places of work, transportation, homes and recreational activities. To ensure harmony between people and their environments
22、, it is necessary to quantify the size and shape of people for optimization of the technological design of the workplace and the home environment. INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 7250-1:2008(E) ISO 2008 All rights reserved 1Basic human body measurements for technological design Part 1: Body measurement d
23、efinitions and landmarks 1 Scope This part of ISO 7250 provides a description of anthropometric measurements which can be used as a basis for comparison of population groups. The basic list specified in this part of ISO 7250 is intended to serve as a guide for ergonomists who are required to define
24、population groups and apply their knowledge to the geometric design of the places where people work and live. This list is not intended to serve as a guide for how to take anthropometric measurements, but it gives information to the ergonomist and designer on the anatomical and anthropometrical base
25、s and principles of measurement which are applied in the solution of design tasks. This part of ISO 7250 is intended to be used in conjunction with national or international regulations or agreements to assure harmony in defining population groups. In its various applications, it is anticipated that
26、 the basic list will be supplemented by specific additional measurements. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 population group group of people having some common environment or activity NOTE These groups may be as diverse as geogr
27、aphically defined populations or specified age groups. 2.2 Anthropometric terms1)2.2.1 acromion most lateral point of the lateral edge of the spine of the scapula NOTE The height of the acromion is usually equated with shoulder height. 2.2.2 anterior ventral towards the front of the body 1) A detail
