Principles for selecting and using test persons for testing anthropometric aspects of industrial products and designs (ISO/DIS 15537:2021)

Grundsätze für die Auswahl und den Einsatz von Prüfpersonen zur Prüfung anthropometrischer Aspekte von Industrieerzeugnissen und deren Gestaltung (ISO/DIS 15537:2021)

Diese Internationale Norm legt Verfahren zur Festlegung der Zusammensetzung von Personengruppen fest, deren anthropometrische Merkmale für die vorgesehene Benutzerpopulation jedes spezifischen zu prüfenden Gegenstandes repräsentativ sein sollen.
Diese Internationale Norm ist anwendbar auf die Prüfung anthropometrischer Gesichtspunkte von industriellen Produkten und konstruktiven Gestaltungen, die in direktem Kontakt mit dem menschlichen Körper stehen oder von den menschlichen Körpermaßen abhängig sind, z. B. Maschinen, Arbeitsmittel, persönliche Schutzausrüstungen (PSA), Konsumgüter, Arbeitsräume, Einzelheiten der Bauausführung und Beförderungsmittel.
Diese Internationale Norm ist auch anwendbar auf die Prüfung solcher Sicherheitsaspekte von Produkten, die von den menschlichen Körpermaßen abhängig sind. Sie behandelt nicht weitere Gesichtspunkte dieser Aufgabe oder andere Anforderungen wie die Wahrnehmung von Informationen (außer der geometrischen Anordnung der zu beobachtenden Sichtziele) und die Benutzung von Bedienelementen (außer ihrer geometrischen Anordnung).
Obwohl diese Internationale Norm die Auswahl von Personen nach anthropometrischen Gesichtspunkten behandelt, könnten ähnliche allgemeine Grundsätze auf andere Prüfvariablen angewendet werden, z. B. auf biomechanische Gesichtspunkte.

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 15537 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee

CEN/TC 122, Ergonomics, in collaboration with Technical Committee ISO/TC 159, Ergonomics, Subcommittee

SC 3, Anthropometry and biomechanics, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between

ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).

Introduction

An investigation into how far ergonomic requirements are taken into consideration with regard to industrial

products and designs is often performed using test equipment, giving possibilities to register only one parameter

(for example only the body height) or perhaps a few parameters. With regard to the concurrent multifunctional

testing and/or determination of product characteristics for which no technical testing procedures have been laid

down, one or several persons are often designated as test persons and are observed and/or questioned while

or after using the product under test.

The reliability of any findings established in this way is very much dependent on the extent to which the test

persons represent the intended user group in different aspects. How well a product or design is adjusted to the

anthropometrics of the intended user population is dealt with in this International Standard.

According to EN 614-1, work equipment, e.g. machinery, has to be designed with proper regard to the body

dimensions of the intended user population. One means to verify that a product or a design fulfils this

requirement is to set up a panel of test persons and let them test the product in different ways.

An example of the use of this International Standard is given in Annex A (informative).

Principles for selecting and using test persons for testing
anthropometric aspects of industrial products and designs
1 Scope

This International Standard establishes methods for determining the composition of groups of persons whose

anthropometric characteristics are to be representative of the intended user population of any specific object

under test.

This International Standard is applicable to the testing of anthropometric aspects of industrial products and

designs having direct contact with the human body or dependent on human body measurements, e.g. machinery,

work equipment, personal protective equipment (PPE), consumer goods, working spaces, architectural details

or transportation equipment.

This International Standard is also applicable to the testing of such safety aspects of products that are

dependent on human body measurements. It does not deal with other aspects of the task or other requirements,

such as perception of information (except geometrical arrangement of the viewing targets) and the use of

controls (except their geometrical placement).

Although this International Standard deals with selecting test persons from an anthropometric perspective,

similar general principles could be applied for other test variables, e.g. biomechanical aspects.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
critical dimension of a product to be tested

dimension estimated to cause a major limitation for the usage from an anthropometrical point of view, for the

whole body or body parts, depending on the function of the product in question

NOTE 1 Critical dimension is related to reach, clearance, posture, contact pressure, visionor other factors which may

result in difficulties of use, discomfort or health risks.

oSIST prEN ISO 15537:2021
ISO/DIS 15537:2021(E)

NOTE 2 A product to be tested can have more than one critical dimension, for example, a combination of a reach- and

a clearance-dimension.

EXAMPLE The critical dimension for an access opening could be the width, or a combination of two dimensions, for

example the width and the opening height.
3.2
critical anthropometric measurement

anthropometric measurement which is most affected by the critical dimensions of the product

NOTE For instance, the critical anthropometric measurement for a person entering an opening for whole body access

is the one with the greatest constraint (for example, the body height and/or the body width, depending on the form of the

access opening).
3.3
worst-case combination of critical dimensions and anthropometric measurements

combination of critical dimensions of the product, additional equipment and the critical anthropometric

measurement imposing the biggest restriction on a person who is able to use the product or design as intended

3.4
slim body type

person for whom at least two width measurements (preferably shoulder width and hip breadth) and two depth

measurements (preferably chest depth and abdominal depth) are smaller than the figure representing the 25th

percentile or, where this figure is not available, the average value of the 5th and the 50th (mean) percentile for

the population in question
3.5
corpulent body type

person for whom at least two breadth measurements (preferably shoulder breadth and hip breadth) and two

depth measurements (preferably chest depth and abdominal depth) are bigger than the figure representing the

75th percentile or, where this figure is not available, the average value of the 50th percentile (mean) and the

95th percentile for the population in question
3.6
medium body type
person belonging neither to the slim nor to the corpulent body type
4 Types of tests
4.1 General

Testing may be done with living humans or with virtual humans, sometimes known as computer manikins.

Current design processes often involve computer-aided design (CAD) systems, where it is possible to insert

virtual humans into the CAD design process. See ISO 15536-1 and ISO 15536-2 for information on computer

manikins. The tests described below can be done with living humans in a physical mockup or with virtual humans

in a CAD environment. If virtual humans are used, users are cautioned to assess the validity of the models

before assuming accurate test results.

Test participants – virtual or human – are defined by anthropometry. The simplest designs require

anthropometric information on only a few dimensions. In such cases, defining test participants using population

percentiles may be appropriate. For more complex designs, using percentile
