BS EN 16710-2:2016EN 16710-2:2016 (E) 6 Introduction The ergonomic design approach involves
26、considering human capabilities, skills, limitations and needs. It is developed on the basis of a decision process, which calls upon not only scientific and technical knowledge data provided by existing standards but also expression of the “know-how” capitalised by the intended user population. Know-
27、how and other knowledge data provided by standards can only become meaningful when based on preliminary analysis of real-work. Ergonomics design focuses on the actual activity of operators. The methodology described in this European Standard therefore increases the effectiveness and efficiency of th
28、e machinery or system being designed; improves human working conditions; and reduces adverse effects on health, safety and performance. This methodology can lead to one or more suitable solutions embracing situations to be confronted by future users. Applying this will raise productivity, improve wo
29、rk quality, reduce technical support, maintenance and training needs, and will enhance user/operator satisfaction. Application of this methodology will be most effective when management is closely involved (adoption, communication, etc.). Extensive ergonomics knowledge exists in relation to organizi
30、ng and establishing an efficient design process. Applying this knowledge, this present European Standard structures a user-based approach and proposes corresponding requirements for project managers. This approach complements existing design methods and requires reference to ergonomists. This proces
31、s concerns both established, as described by EN ISO 12100, and emergent risks and their association with the independent evolution of any system, user variability and conditions of equipment usage. In this respect, the methodology for work analysis presented in this document is based on the resultan
32、t design being at least partly determined by anticipated future developments, especially those indicated by the client. This is a shared procedure, in which the client provides specifications detailing the knowledge helpful to a design suited to the needs and expectations of users. Examples of the c
33、ontribution of an ergonomics design approach to preparing specifications are included in informative Annex A. Design based on an ergonomics process is necessary to meet any “performance obligation” (i.e. obligation of result). This European Standard complements knowledge generated by work activity a
34、nalysis to enhance the quality of references and other solutions validated within a participative framework. This is indeed the case when a compromise solution cannot be found in relation to a specific point because the underlying knowledge cannot be validated. This European Standard facilitates ori
35、entation towards a shared final decision. BS EN 16710-2:2016EN 16710-2:2016 (E) 7 1 Scope This European Standard describes a procedure for analysing human activity in relation to specifying and refining the human component in the design or redesign of machinery and work systems. NOTE 1 The ergonomic
36、s methodology described in this European Standard could also be applied to the design or redesign of products and non-work systems. This European Standard is intended to assist project leaders in implementing human and physical resources, methods and schedules as well as in preparing the documents n
37、ecessary to meeting related requirements. The ergonomics methodology described can be applied to all different stages in design projects from the earliest concept to the final “prototype” or “mock-up”, whatever the industrial field or sector. The objective of this European Standard is to achieve a s
38、olution that takes into account as many situations as possible which all users - including operators, maintenance staff and installers, may encounter. This will ultimately allow improved usability of the machinery and more robust technical solutions, combined with significantly greater system resili
39、ence, user autonomy and accessibility. NOTE 2 Examples of the application of the methodology described in this European Standard are provided in Annex A. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 ergonomics scientific discipline concern

44、2.7 assumption proposal relating to the explanation or interpretation of phenomena, observable facts and solution principles, assumed temporarily before being subjected to checking Note 1 to entry: In observing workers the observer should verify any hypotheses concerning knowledge acquired regarding
45、 the work and its translation into solution principles with the workers concerned. 2.8 prescribed task formal description of how a task is expected to be performed EXAMPLE prescribed and prohibited tools, conditions of use, procedures, order of operations etc. 3 General requirements in specifying th
46、e human components 3.1 User experience and resultant activity Ergonomics design involves considering all work situations that may be encountered by intended users. Users of machinery and of other systems performing the same or similar functions, possess a variety of levels of skills (including proce
47、dures for anticipating and avoiding risks) and knowledge of various constraints concerning individual and collective performance (described by the term “know-how”). Systematically collecting this know-how is fundamental to decision making in developing the design of a new machine and or work system.
48、 The know-how of an individual has a strong influence on their activity. It is essential to understand the motivations induced by the work system and the experiences of the user, which determines their observed activity. To maximize accessibility, the design shall take account of the full range of u
49、sers depending on the objectives of design including, where applicable, older people and those with disabilities. This requires the designer to consider characteristics which are associated with increasing age. It might also include identifying specific subgroups that should be included, for example people with impaired hearing, those with cognitive impairment, and people who are already using assistive technologies or who might require individualized solutions or alternative means of access. For this purpose, the approach described by this European Standard fir
