Nuclear facilities - Human factors engineering - Application to the design of human-machine interfaces

IEC 63351:2024 specifies the basic principles and requirements for the application of a human factors engineering (HFE) programme to the design of the human-machine interfaces (HMI) throughout the lifetime of a nuclear facility. The focus of this document is on control rooms and control functions as discussed in the text.
This document focuses on the application of a human factors engineering (HFE) programme to the design of the human-machine interfaces throughout the lifetime of a nuclear facility, including consideration of plant modifications.
This document is applicable to nuclear facilities such as: nuclear power plants (NPPs), research reactors, uranium enrichment and nuclear fuel fabrication facilities, spent fuel storage and reprocessing facilities.

Installations nucléaires - Ingénierie des facteurs humains - Application à la conception des interfaces homme-machine

l'IEC 63351:2024 spécifie les principes et exigences de base pour l'application d'un programme d'ingénierie des facteurs humains (HFE) à la conception des interfaces homme-machine (IHM) tout au long de la durée de vie d'une installation nucléaire. Le présent document traite des salles de commande et des fonctions de commande décrites dans le texte.
Le présent document se concentre sur l'application d'un programme d'ingénierie des facteurs humains (HFE, Human Factors Engineering) à la conception des interfaces homme-machine tout au long de la durée de vie d'une installation nucléaire, en tenant compte des modifications apportées à la centrale.
Le présent document s'applique aux installations nucléaires telles que les centrales nucléaires (NPP, Nuclear Power Plant), les réacteurs de recherche, les installations d'enrichissement d'uranium et de fabrication de combustibles nucléaires, ainsi que les installations d'entreposage et de retraitement des combustibles usés.
