Ergonomics of the physical environment - Application of international standards to people with special requirements

This International Standard describes how International Standards concerned with the ergonomics of the

physical environment can be applied for people with special requirements, who would otherwise be considered

to be beyond the scope of those standards. It has been produced according to the principles of accessible

design provided in ISO/IEC Guide 71 and using the data provided in ISO/TR 22411.

It is not restricted to any specific environment but provides the general principles that allow assessment and

evaluation, and can contribute to the development of standards concerned with specific environments. It is

applicable to built environments as well as to other indoor, vehicle and outdoor environments. Nor is it restricted

to specific environmental components; it includes assessment of acoustic environments, thermal environments,

lighting, air quality and other environmental factors that could be considered to influence the health, comfort

and performance of people with special requirements in an environment.

It is applicable to all occupants of such environments who can be considered to have special requirements.

NOTE This will depend upon context and can, for example, include babies, infants, men or women, people with

disabilities, older or ill people. A person could have a special requirement in one type of environment but not in another.

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department
To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
