20、 (International Organization for Standardization) Standard 9241 -3:1992 (first edition, 1992-07-1 5). This IS0 Standard was developed by the IS0 Technical Committee ISO/TC 159 SC 4. It is part of the series of IS0 9241 Standards that address ergonomic requirements for office work with visual display
21、 terminals. In conjunction with the adoption of this Standard, CSA is issuing a new edition of CSA Standard 241 2, Guideline on Office Ergonomics. Basic principles and information from the IS0 Standards have been used in the development of this CSA guideline. This Standard was reviewed for Canadian
22、adoption by the CSA Technical Committee on Office Ergonomics under the jurisdiction of the Strategic Steering Committee on Occupational Health and Safety, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee. A list of the members of the Technical Committee is available upon request. This Stand

The work of preparing International Sta
34、ndards is normally carried out through IS0 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 committee. International organizations, govern- mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, als
35、o take part in the work. IS0 collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an Inter- na
36、tional Standard requires approval by at least 75% of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard IS0 9241-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 159, Ergonomics, Sub-Committee SC 4, Signals and controls. IS0 9241 consists of the following parts, under the general title Ergonomic r

The satisfaction of individual human requirements is highly application- dependent. The recommendations and requirements defined here are based on established e
41、rgonomics principles, as described in IS0 6385. vii INTERNATIONAL STANDARD IS0 9241 -3:1992(E) Ergonomic requirements for office work with visual display terminals (VDTs) - Part 3: Visual display requirements 1 Scope This part of IS0 9241 establishes image quality re- quirements for the design and e
42、valuation of single- and multi-colour VDTs. The requirements are stated as performance specifications, and the evaluations provide test methods and conformance measure- ments. It should be noted that, at present, the rec- ommendations are based on Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek origin alphabetic charact
43、ers, and Arabic nu- me ra Is. Other factors that affect performance and comfort are coding, format, and the style of presentation of information. With the exception of their visual as- pects, they are not covered by this part of IS0 9241. This part of IS0 9241 applies to the ergonomic de- sign of el
44、ectronic displays for office tasks. Office tasks include such activities as data entry, text processing, and interactive inquiry, but do not in- clude recommendations for other specific appli- cations such as computer-aided design or process control. It is planned to issue recommendations on such ap
45、plications separately. 2 Definitions For the purposes of this part of IS0 9241, the follow- ing definitions apply. 2.1 angle of view: The angle between the line-of- sight angle and the line orthogonal to the surface of the display at the point where the line-of-sight inter- sects the image surface o
46、f the display. 2.2 anti-aliased font: Alphanumeric characters in which a technique has been utilized to smooth character edges. 2.3 between-character spacing: The distance be- tween horizontally adjacent characters at their nearest point. 2.4 between-line spacing: The distance between vertically adj
47、acent characters at their nearest point. 2.5 between-word spacing: The horizontal distance between adjacent words at their nearest point. 2.6 blink coding: Information presented by temporal luminance variations in images. 2.7 character format: The number of horizontal and vertical elements in the ma
48、trix used to form a single character. 2.8 character height: The distance between the top and bottom edges of a non-accented capital letter. 2.9 character size uniformity: The constancy in size of a particular character presented at different lo- cations on the screen. 2.10 character width: The horiz
49、ontal distance be- tween the edges at the widest part of a capital letter (excluding serifs). 2.11 character width-to-height ratio: The ratio of character width to character height. 2.12 design viewing distance: The distance or range of distances (specified by the supplier) be- tween the screen and the operators eyes for which the images on the display meet the requirements of this part of IS0 9241, such as character size, raster 1 IS0 9241-3:1992(E) modulation, fill factor, spatial instability (jitt
