The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0 tec
24、hnical 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, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0 collaborates closel
25、y with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to
26、 the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard IS0 9241 -6 was prepared by Technical Committee ISOTTC 159, Ergonomics, Sub- Committee SC 4, Ergonomics of human-system interaction,

30、41 are for information only. iii Introduction This pari of IS0 9241 applies to work systems as defined in IS0 6385 with visual display terminals (VDTs) as described in IS0 9241-1. Office work with VDTs can be performed in various environments. These environments can influence both the comfort and pe
31、rformance of the user. In addition, the work environment can be influenced by specific characteristics of the VDTs and related equipment (for example, printers, computers). This pari of IS0 9241 has been prepared to give guidance on the determination of environmental conditions which enhance user co
32、mfort and performance. Enhancing the interaction between users and environments often requires a well-balanced trade-off. For this reason, this part of IS0 9241 provides guiding principles as generic goals, basic aspects for each item (for example, lighting, noise) and gives guidance on developing i
33、ntegrated solutions under given circumstances (for example, methods of controlling the acoustic environment for a given task and a given environment). iv Ergonomic requirements for office work with visual display terminals (VDTs) - Part 6: Guidance on the work environment 1 Scope This part of IS0 92
34、41 provides guidance on basic principles for the ergonomic design of the work environment and the workstation, taking into account lighting, effects of noise and mechanical vibrations, electrical and magnetic fields and static electricity, thermal environment, space organization and workplace layout
35、. This part of IS0 9241 is applicable to the work environment and workstation in those work systems where a visual display terminal (VDT) is used for office work. However, this part of IS0 9241 does not specify the technical characteristics of the equipment needed to satisfy those equipment-related
36、guidelines associated with the work environment. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of IS0 9241.
