ISO 9241 was originally developed as a seventeen-part International Standard on the ergonomics requirements for office work with visual display terminals. As part o
6、f the standards review process, a major restructuring of ISO 9241 was agreed to broaden its scope, to incorporate other relevant standards and to make it more usable. The general title of the revised ISO 9241, “Ergonomics of human-system interaction”, reflects these changes and aligns the standard w
7、ith the overall title and scope of Technical Committee ISO/TC 159, Subcommittee SC 4. The revised multipart standard is structured as series of standards numbered in the “hundreds”: the 100 series deals with software interfaces, the 200 series with human centred design, the 300 series with visual di
8、splays, the 400 series with physical input devices, and so on. See National Annex NA for an overview of the entire ISO 9241 series.

24、 (E) DIN EN ISO 9241-300:2009-06 31 Scope This part of ISO 9241 provides an introduction to the other parts in the ISO 9241 “300” subseries, and explains its modular structure. The ISO 9241 “300” subseries establishes requirements for the ergonomic design of electronic visual displays. These require
25、ments 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 metrology, yielding conformance measurements and criteria, are provided for design evaluation. The ISO 9241 “300” subs
26、eries 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 referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

30、s and definitions given in ISO 9241-302 apply. EN ISO 9241-300:2008 (E) DIN EN ISO 9241-300:2009-06 44 Conformance Conformance shall be achieved by the use of an applicable compliance method according to ISO 9241-307, with consideration of the related test method or methods specified in ISO 9241-304
31、, 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 or ISO 9241-306, as relevant to the devising question. 5 Overview of the ISO 9241 “300” subseries The structure of the ISO 9241 “
32、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, allowing it to cover new technologies, tasks and environments, while at the same time minimizing that portion of its content that w
33、ill 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 performance requirements, independent of technology, task and environment, based on human performance criteria. These requirements
34、 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 9241-304 specifies test methods based on user tests that can be performed in usability laboratories meeting the quality criteria
35、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 the quality criteria of ISO/IEC 17025. ISO 9241-306 includes test methods based on optical measurements and observation, which ar
36、e suitable for field assessment in the actual workplace. ISO 9241-307 establishes compliance routes for different contexts of use (display technologies, tasks, environments and user groups). ISO/TR 9241-308 gives guidelines for surface-conduction electron-emitter displays (SED). ISO/TR 9241-309 give
37、s 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 9241-305, ISO 9241-306 and ISO 9241-307. In this manner, and whenever necessary, out-dated methods can be replaced by the state-o
38、f-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 new developments, their form and brevity making it quicker and easier to define internationally standardized methods and criteria
39、for display ergonomics.

EN ISO 9241-300:2008 (E) DIN EN ISO 9241-300:2009-06 56 Integrated vs. modular products Display products are not always single integrated products (e.g. PDA, cellular phones, ATM), but can also comprise a system of independent modules (system units, monitors, graphic
42、 cards) that will need to be separately type tested individually. There are cases where product features having ergonomic impact can be tested independently 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
43、that particular type of product. In other cases, modules cannot be type-tested independently either because they affect one anothers behaviour, or because 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 examp
44、le, ISO/IEC 17025) testing methods, and a section of the analysis and compliance evaluation will instead have to be performed as field assessment at the workplace. See Table 2.

NOTE 3 When a large system was purchased, the customer verified from the analysis and compliance testing reports that the mod
48、ules were intended to be able to work together. NOTE 4 Final ergonomics quality was verified as field assessment at the workplace. EN ISO 9241-300:2008 (E) DIN EN ISO 9241-300:2009-06 67 Work environments Some of the ergonomics aspects of humandisplay interaction are affected by the environment (see
49、 Table 3). By using the guidance provided in ISO 9241-303 and the methods specified in ISO 9241-304, ISO 9241-305 and ISO 9241-306, it is usually possible to derive a good understanding of how to analyse a work environment for which a specific analysis and compliance method does not exist in ISO 9241-307.
