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 3.
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.
International Standard ISO 13406-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 159, Ergonomics, Sub-
Committee SC 4, Ergonomics of human-system interaction, WG 2, Visual display requirements, in collaboration with
IEC/SC 47C/WG 2 (responsible for flat-panel engineering standards).
ISO 13406 consists of the following parts, under the general title Ergonomic requirements for work with visual
displays based on flat panels:

Introduction
ISO 13406 addresses the ergonomic considerations that should be taken into account when using flat-panel visual
displays. ISO 13406 is based on the ergonomic foundations and principles addressed in ISO 9241. During the
development of ISO 9241-3:1992, it was recognized that the use of the same ergonomic principles results in a
different approach and specification for flat panels.
ISO 13406 exists for three reasons:
a) ISO 9241 is sometimes not sufficient to ensure that a display meets basic front-of-screen ergonomic
requirements when flat-panel visual displays are used instead of conventional CRT-based VDTs;
b) ISO 9241 measurement methods are sometimes inappropriate for characterizing flat-panel visual displays;
c) ISO 9241 addresses office work, but the scope of ISO 13406 includes extended uses and applications.
Examples of special flat-panel considerations are
picture element discreteness (leading to the possibility of isolated defects);
optical properties that strongly depend on viewing direction (leading to the need to carefully describe viewing
direction during evaluation);
slow response time of the electro-optical effect (leading to suitability questions when image dynamics are
important for performance or comfort);
panels that electrically vary the reflection properties at the picture element site (leading to complications in
evaluation).
ISO 13406, where appropriate, provides physical requirements based on models in ergonomic research and
physical measurement protocols to provide consistent compliance decisions. In ISO 9241-3, ISO 9241-7 and
ISO 9241-8, an alternative decision route is sometimes appropriate and necessary. These three standards include
annexes concerning visual performance tests. These tests address legibility, legibility when unwanted reflections
exist on the display screen, and discriminability of colours. When these tests are approved, they will provide an
alternative means to decide compliance. These tests (unmodified or with appropriate modifications to account for
flat-panel specific environmental considerations) may be used to decide compliance to ISO 13406-2.
ISO 13406-2 treats the ergonomics of directly viewed flat-panel displays. It covers the ergonomic topics of
ISO 9241-3, ISO 9241-7, and ISO 9241-8. The requirements and measurements in ISO 13406-2 treat panels with
uniformly spaced and constructed pixels. In addition, panels are sufficiently large to display at least three
measurement targets, of at least 400 pixels each, that do not overlap.
Figure 1 illustrates a directly viewed flat-panel configuration that cannot be evaluated under ISO 13406-2 because
each pixel is specially sized and shaped to represent a specific portion of a numeric symbol. This type of display is
known as a segmented display.
Figure 2 illustrates another directly viewed flat-panel configuration that cannot be evaluated under ISO 13406-2
because the uniformly constructed pixels are not uniformly spaced. For economic reasons, the pixel positions
between character rows and columns are omitted. With this type of panel, measurement targets are unavailable.
