Ergonomics - Computer manikins and body templates - Part 2: Verification of functions and validation of dimensions for computer manikin systems (ISO 15536-2:2007)

ISO 15536-2:2007 establishes the requirements for the verification of the functions and validation of dimensions of computer manikins. These requirements concern the documentation of the data employed to construct computer manikins and the methods employed to verify and validate their functions with regards to their dimensional accuracy.
ISO 15536-2:2007 extends to anthropometric and biomechanical data and to software functions as they are applied to create computer manikins. Although this document primarily refers to anthropometric data and methods, some biomechanical parameters are required to build and apply computer manikins and are therefore included.
ISO 15536-2:2007 provides a framework for reporting computer manikin accuracy and human-source data. The standard is intended to enable even non-specialist users of the manikin systems to independently perform measurements of each function under field testing conditions using automated software tools provided by developers.
It is not intended to require developers to perform specific verification and validation of their manikin systems.

Ergonomie - Computer-Manikins und Körperumriss-Schablonen - Teil 2: Prüfung der Funktionen und Validierung der Maße von Computer-Manikin-Systemen (ISO 15536-2:2007)

Dieser Teil von ISO 15536 legt die Anforderungen für die Prüfung der Funktionen und die Verifizierung der Maße von Computer-Manikins fest. Diese Anforderungen betreffen die Dokumentation der Daten, die zur Konstruktion von Computer-Manikins verwendet werden, und die zur Prüfung und Validierung ihrer Funktionen hinsichtlich ihrer Maßgenauigkeit verwendeten Verfahren.
Dieser Teil von ISO 15536 bezieht anthropometrische und biomechanische Daten und Softwarefunktionen ein, soweit sie zur Schaffung von Computer-Manikins angewendet werden. Obgleich sich dieses Dokument in erster Linie auf anthropometrische Daten und Verfahren bezieht, sind für Aufbau und Anwendung von Computer-Manikins einige biomechanische Parameter erforderlich und sind deshalb einbezogen.
Dieser Teil von ISO 15536 liefert einen Rahmen für das Berichten der Genauigkeit des Computer-Manikins und von vom Menschen abgeleiteten Daten. Es ist die Absicht der Norm selbst nicht spezialisierte Anwender von Manikinsystemen zu befähigen, unter Prüfbedingungen des Feldversuchs unabhängig Messungen jeder Funktion durchzuführen, wobei sie von den Entwicklern gelieferte automatisierte Software-Hilfsmittel verwenden.
Es ist nicht die Absicht, von den Entwicklern zu fordern ihre Manikinsysteme zu verifizieren und zu validieren.

Ergonomie - Mannequins informatisés et gabarits humains - Partie 2: Vérification des fonctions et validation des dimensions pour les systèmes de mannequins informatisés (ISO 15536-2:2007)

L'ISO 15536-2:2007 fixe les exigences requises pour la vérification des fonctions et pour la validation des dimensions des mannequins informatisés. Ces exigences concernent la documentation des données utilisées pour construire les mannequins et les méthodes mises en oeuvre pour vérifier et pour valider leurs fonctions par rapport à leur degré de précision dimensionnelle.
L'ISO 15536-2:2007 traite des données anthropométriques et biomécaniques et des fonctions logicielles, telles qu'elles sont appliquées pour la création des mannequins informatisés. Bien qu'elle se réfère principalement aux méthodes et aux données anthropométriques, elle comprend un certain nombre de paramètres biomécaniques, ceux-ci étant en effet nécessaires à la construction des mannequins et aux applications auxquelles ils sont destinés.
L'ISO 15536-2:2007 fournit un cadre pour la notation de la validité des mannequins informatisés et des données concernant la source humaine. Elle est destinée à permettre à des utilisateurs, même non spécialistes des systèmes de mannequins, d'effectuer de manière indépendante des mesurages de chacune des fonctions dans les conditions d'essai sur le terrain, en utilisant les outils logiciels automatisés fournis par les développeurs.
L'ISO 15536-2:2007 n'a pas pour but d'obliger les développeurs à effectuer une vérification et une validation spécifiques de leurs systèmes de mannequins.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical 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. ISO collaborates closely 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 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 15536-2:2007(E)
Introduction
In order to apply computer manikins with confidence and trust to equipment design, designers need to know
the accuracy and reliability of these tools. The needed accuracy depends on the purpose of their use. Some
designers need high degrees of accuracy (e.g. quantitative clearance analyses), while others need less (e.g.
training simulations). A method of checking the basic degree of accuracy is given in ISO 15536-1:2005. It is
based on the comparison between anthropometric data used in creation of the manikin and the corresponding
measurements taken from the manikin itself. These data and measurements apply to the standardized
measurement postures only, i.e. standing and sitting (see ISO 7250:1996).
However, computer manikins are used to simulate a wider range of human postures and movements during
equipment design than standardized postures, and it is essential that designers know the level of their
anthropometric accuracy also in these conditions. Moreover, problems arise when trying to assess the
accuracy and repeatability of computer manikins and their associated applications because of the many
anthropometric and biomechanical parameters used in constructing them. Many specialized tests are required
to accurately measure every possible size, shape and working posture that people can exhibit. This problem is
further compounded when manikin data or algorithms are changed, requiring additional tests assessing their
dimensional accuracy.
Because it is not economically feasible for one organization to test every manikin parameter under every
possible test condition, developers and users need to share the responsibility for assessing computer manikin
accuracy. Developers may test manikin system accuracy for the most common situations, but it is essential
that the users be provided with the means to test the accuracy and repeatability of manikin systems for their
specific applications, too. Therefore, users need to measure manikin accuracy for their specific applications
and developers need to provide computer manikins and simple processes for measuring and assessing
manikin accuracy.
