4、 safety requirements. This standard has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 159 “Ergonomics” in collaboration with Technical Committee CEN/TC 122 “Ergonomics” (Secretariat: DIN, Germany) in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement). The res
5、ponsible German body involved in its preparation was the Normenausschuss Ergonomie (Ergonomics Standards Committee), Technical Committee NA 023-00-03 GA Anthropometrie und Biomechanik. Amendment of the EU Machinery Directive has made it necessary to update the previous edition, EN ISO 15536-1:2005,
6、which takes into account the essential requirements of the new EU Machinery Directive, 2006/42/EC. This standard concretizes the basic requirements set out in Annex I of the EU Machinery Directive 98/37/EC (valid until 28 December 2009) and the new EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC which becomes app
7、licable on 29 December 2009 relating to machinery to be placed on the EEA market, with the intent of simplifying the means of proving conformity with such requirements. Once this standard is designated a harmonized standard in the Official Journal of the European Union, a manufacturer applying this
8、standard may assume compliance with the requirements of the Machinery Directive (the so-called “presumption of conformity”). DIN EN ISO 15536 consists of the following parts, under the general title Ergonomics Computer manikins and body templates: Part 1: General requirements Part 2: Verification of
9、 functions and validation of dimensions for computer manikin systems Amendments This standard differs from DIN EN ISO 15536-1:2005-08 as follows: a) Inclusion of Annex ZB (informative) “Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential Requirements of EU Directive 2006/42/EC”.

24、dards in the field of machinery is as follows. a) Type-A standards (basis standards) give basic concepts, principle for design, and general aspects that can be applied to machinery. b) Type-B standards (generic safety standards) dealing with one or more safety aspect(s) or one or more type(s) of saf
25、eguards that can be used across a wide range of machinery: type-B1 standards on particular safety aspects (e.g. safety distances, surface temperature, noise); type-B2 standards on safeguards (e.g. two-hand controls, interlocking devices, pressure-sensitive devices, guards). c) Type-C standards (mach
26、inery safety standards) dealing with detailed safety requirements for a particular machine or group of machines. This part of ISO 15536 is a type-B standard as stated in ISO 12100-1. When provisions of a type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-B standards, the pro
27、visions of the type-C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of the type-C standard. This part of ISO 15536 concerns requirements which are, to a great extent, independent both of the state of the
28、 art in the currently rapidly developing field of computer manikins and body templates, and of the availability of up-to-date, detailed and representative anthropometric data. The physical characteristics of the human body are one of the starting points in the design of spaces, furniture, machines a
29、nd other equipment. Computer technology is advancing rapidly and allows the construction of computer manikins to model the human body and to simulate human activities. Anthropometrically accurate manikins or body templates can be used, for example, to visualize the geometric relationship between the
30、 human body and the physical environment. Various functions of evaluation can also be integrated into the manikin and manikin system, for example, indication of reach zones, visualization of viewing fields, biomechanical calculation of required strength, and simulation of movements. Computer manikin
31、s are intended to reduce the need for real test persons and the evaluation of physical models and prototypes. However, real persons provide not only their true physical dimensions but also their differing functional and perceptual capabilities as well as their assessment of the ease of performance,
32、comfort and other properties of the design (see ISO 15537). The computer manikin permits quick, easy and early identification of possible dimensional shortcomings. Critical dimensions restricting operations, such as fitting into a confined space or reaching objects can be quickly assessed in relatio
33、n to extreme body measurements. The dimensioning would otherwise require tests with a large number of test persons. In the use of manikins, several ergonomic aspects (e.g. anthropometric, postural, visual, strength-related, dynamic) are addressed in one and the same test situation. As a universal de
34、sign tool, the manikin is particularly useful for entirely novel designs, when no recommendations on the dimensions exist and no reference situations for full-scale evaluation are available. In the design process, the use of computer modelling with a manikin facilitates information exchange and coll
35、aboration between different specialists and users. 4 DIN EN ISO 15536-1:2008-12 EN ISO 15536-1:2008 (E) When used appropriately, computer manikins accelerate the entire design process and reduce the costs of designing. The ergonomic design process is presented as a whole in EN 614-1. The use of comp
36、uter manikins does not ensure appropriate design solutions automatically, and they can even be misused. The designer may use them inappropriately, for example, by permitting awkward postures, or by providing too little space for movements. It is possible that he or she is not aware of the inherent l
37、imitations of computer manikins, either in anthropometric, postural or biomechanical respects. As the complexity of the manikin systems increases, the links to the data on these human characteristics can also become difficult or impossible to trace. The manikins and manikin systems available so far
38、vary with respect to the functions and features they afford, as well as to their accuracy and usability. At the present developmental stage, the most sophisticated manikin systems may require powerful hardware and specially trained users, and they may be unavailable to many designers. The most simpl
39、e ones may be easy to use but are of restricted value for designing. The systems may also differently emphasise such components as anthropometric accuracy, biomechanical capabilities, graphical visualisation, geometric design, simulation and animation. The choice of manikin and the associated design
40、 system is, to a great extent, a trade-off between these different features. Broad experience of the field and a high level of care are necessary when choosing and using the manikin system, and for controlling the effects of other external parameters, however sophisticated the manikin system may be.
41、 5 DIN EN ISO 15536-1:2008-12 EN ISO 15536-1:2008 (E) IMPORTANT The application of this part of ISO 15536 should be verified by practical tests with real persons. 1 Scope This part of ISO 15536 establishes the general requirements for the design and development of computer manikins, body templates a
42、nd manikin systems. It addresses their anthropometric and biomechanical properties, taking into account their usability and restrictions for structural complexity and functional versatility, and is also intended as a guide for the selection of manikins and manikin systems and for the evaluation of t
43、heir accuracy and usability for the specified use. It specifies the documentation of the characteristics of manikins and manikin systems and their intended use, for the guidance of their users. It provides means for ensuring that computer manikins and body templates for the design of work space are
44、appropriately accurate and reliable in their anthropometric and biomechanical aspects. It aims to ensure that users of manikins are able to choose an appropriate manikin system for particular design tasks and use it in an appropriate way. It sets requirements only on the static accuracy of the manik
45、in, but provides recommendations on the other factors that can influence the accuracy of the analyses and determinations performed using them. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
