Overview

This part of ISO 11064 specifies ergonomic principles, recommendations and requirements for the design of workstations found in control centres. It covers control workstation design with particular emphasis on layout and dimensions. This standard is applicable primarily to seated, visual-display-based workstations, although control workstations at which operators stand are also addressed. These different types of control workstation are to be found in applications such as transportation control, process control and security installations. Most of these workstations now incorporate flat-display screens for the presentation of information. This standard differs from DIN EN ISO 11064-4:2004-10 as follows: a) normative references have been extended; b) figures have been deleted, extended, or added; c) the last column of Table 2 relating to the eye position has been deleted; d) Annex B (informative) with a conformance matrix has been added. The text of ISO 11064-4 has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 159 "Ergonomics" of the International Organization of Standardization (ISO) and has been adopted as EN ISO 11065-4:2013 by Technical Committee CEN/TC 122 "Ergonomics", the secretariat of which is held by DIN (Germany). The responsible German committee is NA 023-00-04 GA "Ergonomie für Informationsverarbeitungssysteme" ("Ergonomics for information processing systems") at the Ergonomics Standards Committee (NAErg).
