Standards

The largest source of ergonomics standards is ISO/TC 159, the main ergonomics committee. There are four sub committees which produce many ergonomics standards.

ISO/TC 159/SC 1 General ergonomics principles
ISO/TC 159/SC 3 Anthropometry and biomechanics
ISO/TC 159/SC 4 Ergonomics of human-system interaction
ISO/TC 159/SC 5 Ergonomics of the physical environment

The BSI has a specific webpage dedicated to its ergonomics standards.

Here are some direct links to specific ergonomics and human factors related standards you might find useful.

  • Design of buildings and their approaches to meet the needs of disabled people
  • Ergonomics data and guidelines for the application of ISO/IEC Guide 71 to products and services to address the needs of older persons and persons with disabilities
  • Ergonomics of human-system interaction. Usability methods supporting human-centred design
  • Health & safety standards
  • Healthcare and medical devices standards
  • ICT standards
  • Inland navigation vessels
