15、 reserved iiiForeword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) 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
16、for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be 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) o
17、n all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards 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
18、are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International 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
19、 responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 9241-300 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 159, Ergonomics, Subcommittee SC 4, Ergonomics of human-system interaction.

The ISO 9241
27、“300” subseries establishes requirements for the ergonomic design of electronic visual displays. These requirements are stated as performance specifications, aimed at ensuring effective and comfortable viewing conditions for users with normal or adjusted-to-normal eyesight. Test methods and metrolog
28、y, yielding conformance measurements and criteria, are provided for design evaluation. The ISO 9241 “300” subseries is applicable to the visual ergonomics design of electronic visual displays for a diversity of tasks in a wide variety of work environments. 2 Normative references The following refere

33、le compliance method according to ISO 9241-307, with consideration of the related test method or methods specified in ISO 9241-304, ISO 9241-305 and/or ISO 9241-306. If a compliance method cannot be established, ISO 9241-303 shall be used as a design guideline for applying ISO 9241-304, ISO 9241-305
34、 or ISO 9241-306, as relevant to the devising question. 5 Overview of the ISO 9241 “300” subseries The structure of the ISO 9241 “300” subseries (see Table 1) itself part of the ISO 9241 series of ergonomics standards (see Annex A) is intended to maximize the future extendibility of the subseries, a
35、llowing it to cover new technologies, tasks and environments, while at the same time minimizing that portion of its content that will be needed by a particular user. ISO 9241-302 defines terms that are common to the entire subseries. ISO 9241-303 presents the basic ergonomics guiding principles and
36、performance requirements, independent of technology, task and environment, based on human performance criteria. These requirements cannot be assessed as such, since every requirement has to be assessed using a test method applicable to the particular technology, task and environment in question. ISO
37、 9241-304 specifies test methods based on user tests that can be performed in usability laboratories meeting the quality criteria of ISO/IEC 17025. ISO 9241-305 includes test methods based on optical measurements, electrical measurements and observation which can be performed in optical labs meeting
38、 the quality criteria of ISO/IEC 17025. ISO 9241-306 includes test methods based on optical measurements and observation, which are suitable for field assessment in the actual workplace. ISO 9241-307 establishes compliance routes for different contexts of use (display technologies, tasks, environmen
39、ts and user groups). ISO/TR 9241-308 gives guidelines for surface-conduction electron-emitter displays (SED). ISO/TR 9241-309 gives guidelines for organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays. Future developments in science and technology are to be covered by frequent amendments to ISO 9241-304, ISO
40、 9241-305, ISO 9241-306 and ISO 9241-307. In this manner, and whenever necessary, out-dated methods can be replaced by the state-of-the-art: the main core of information represented by the standards themselves will remain unchanged over an extended period of time; while amendments are used to cover
41、new developments, their form and brevity making it quicker and easier to define internationally standardized methods and criteria for display ergonomics.

44、ys single integrated products (e.g. PDA, cellular phones, ATM), but can also comprise a system of independent modules (system units, monitors, graphic cards) that will need to be separately type tested individually. There are cases where product features having ergonomic impact can be tested indepen
45、dently of the other modules in the same system. A part of the ISO 9241-300 subseries might well contain an analysis and compliance testing method for that particular type of product. In other cases, modules cannot be type-tested independently either because they affect one anothers behaviour, or bec
46、ause the image quality depends on the behaviour of the user. Here, ISO 9241-307 is unable to provide a complete analysis or compliance (see, for example, ISO/IEC 17025) testing methods, and a section of the analysis and compliance evaluation will instead have to be performed as field assessment at t
47、he workplace. See Table 2.
