17、ndards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards 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 commlittee. International o
18、rganizations, governmental and non- governmental, in liaison with ISO, also 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 a
19、re 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.

23、only. iv 0 IS0 IS0 9241-7:1998(E) In trod uction Visual display terminals (VDTs) are subject to reflections of environmental luminance and illuminance from the display device surfaces. Under some conditions, the reflections become disturbing to the user and affect both comfort and task performance.
24、The objective of this part of IS0 9241 is to maintain usable and acceptable VDT image quality in luminous environ- ments that can cause reflections from the screen. The document 11s intended for evaluators and users of VDTs. It is intended to be used with IS0 8995, IS0 9241-3, IS0 9241-6 and IS0 924
25、1-8 to provide guidance for the visual ergonomics of the VDT workplace. Compliance with this part of IS0 9241 is dependent on the hardware characteristics of the VDT, except for polarity that can be application- dependent. This pari of IS0 9241 contains requirements and methods for measurement of th
26、e image quality of VDTs used in luminous environments that can cause specular and diffuse reflections from the screen. IS0 9241 -3 and IS0 9241 -8 contain requirements that deal with luminance and luminance ratios for VDT images measured under conditions that exclude specular reflections. These part
27、s of IS0 9241 interact with this pan of IS0 9241. VDTs that meet the interacting requirements and recommendations of IS0 9241-3 and IS0 9241-8 do not necessarily meet those of this part IS0 9241 and vice versa. IS0 9241 -6 and IS0 8995 contain specific recommendations concerning design of the workpl
28、ace luminous environment to minimize sources of glare. The luminous environment conditions used to determine compliance with this part of IS0 9241 are drawn from, or are consistent with recommendations and requirements of these International Standards. The luminous environment values used to determi
29、ne compliance to this pari of IS0 9241 do not constitute specific recommendations or requirements for workplace lightiing. The burden of a visually acceptable VDT workplace is a tradeoff between the display hardware and the VDT environment. To acknowledge that tradeoff, compliance with this part of
30、IS0 9241 has been developed in three classes, each with rules for decision based on environmental assumptions. Although the decision rules are not expected to be exactly duplicated in the workplace environment, they do correspond approximately to general types of workplace environment to which VDTs
31、are expected to be suitable: V IS0 9241-7:1998(E) IS0 Class Environment I II III suitable for general office use suitable for most, but not all, office environments requiring a specially controlled luminous environment for use An alternative test method is provided for VDTs whose characteristics pre
32、clude use of the quantitative test method. NOTE - IS0 13406 extends the definitions, requirements, and test method of this part of IS0 9241 for flat panels whose colour and/or luminance contrast is strongly dependent on the direction from which they are viewed, and whose reflection characteristics c
33、an vary with the logical state of the screen. vi INTERNATIONAL STANDARD (9 IS0 IS0 9241-7:1998(E) Ergonomic requirements for office work with visual display terminals (VDTs) - Part 7: Requirements for display with reflections 1 Scope This pari of IS0 9241 establishes image quality requirements for V

The following displays and similar types are excluded from the scope of this part of IS0 9241: multi-user projection displays, transparent displays and virtual image displays. applies to VDTs for which its test method is suitable. The test method is
37、 limited to VDTs whose colour and/or luminance contrast does not vary strongly as a function of the viewing direction, and whose reflection properties do not vary as a function of the logical state of the screen. The test method is suitable for emissive VDT technologies, such as cathode ray tubes, a
38、nd some flat panels. NOTE - VDTs using display devices for which the test method of this pari of IS0 9241 is not suitable (for example, liquid crystal displays) are directed to IS0 134063-2. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in the text, const
