Safety of machinery - Anthropometric requirements for the design of workstations at machinery (ISO 14738:2002, including Cor 1:2003 and Cor 2:2005)
This International Standard establishes principles for deriving dimensions from anthropometric measurements and applying them to the design of workstations at non-mobile machinery. It is based on current ergonomic knowledge and anthropometric measurements.
This International Standard specifies the body's space requirements for equipment during normal operation in sitting and standing positions. This International Standard does not specifically include space demands for maintenance, repairing and cleaning work.
This International Standard does not give recommendations specifically for visual display terminal workstations at machinery. For this purpose ISO 9241-5 can be used in conjunction with this International Standard.
Situations where people are to be prevented from reaching a hazard are dealt with in ISO 13852.

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 member bodies casting
a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the
subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 14738 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) in
collaboration with ISO Technical Committee TC 159, Ergonomics, Subcommittee SC 3, Anthropometry and
biomechanics, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna
Agreement).
Throughout the text of this standard, read ".this European Standard." to mean ".this International
Standard.".
Annex A forms a normative part of this International Standard. Annex B is for information only.
For the purposes of this International Standard, the CEN annex regarding fulfilment of European Council
Directives has been removed.
