Specifies the ergonomic requirements for visual, audible and tactile displays for use in machinery. It provides guidance on the selection, design and location of displays to avoid potential ergonomic hazards associated with the use of displays.

This Standard provides guidance on the selection, design and location of displays to avoid potential ergonomic hazards associated with their use. It specifies ergonomics requirements and deals with visual, audible and tactile displays.This Standard is applicable to displays used in machinery (e.g. devices and installations, control panels, operating and monitoring consoles) for occupational and private use. This Standard is not applicable to ergonomics requirements for visual display terminals (VDTs) used for office tasks. These requirements are given in ISO 9241.
