Basic human body measurements for technological design - Part 1: Body measurement definitions and landmarks (ISO 7250-1:2008)
This part of ISO 7250 provides a description of anthropometric measurements which can be used as a basis for comparison of population groups. The basic list specified in this part of ISO 7250 is intended to serve as a guide for ergonomists who are required to define population groups and apply their knowledge to the geometric design of the places where people work and live. This list is not intended to serve as a guide for how to take anthropometric measurements, but it gives information to the ergonomist and designer on the anatomical and anthropometrical bases and principles of measurement which are applied in the solution of design tasks. This part of ISO 7250 is intended to be used in conjunction with national or international regulations or agreements to assure harmony in defining population groups. In its various applications, it is anticipated that the basic list will be supplemented by specific additional measurements.
Wesentliche Maße des menschlichen Körpers für die technische Gestaltung - Teil 1: Körpermaßdefinitionen und -messpunkte (ISO 7250-1:2008)
Dieser Teil der ISO 7250 stellt wesentliche anthropometrische Maße zusammen, die als Grundlage für einen Vergleich von Bevölkerungsgruppen dienen können.
Die in diesem Teil der ISO 7250 zusammengestellten anthropometrischen Maße sollen eine Hilfe für Ergonomen sein bei der Definition von Nutzer-Bevölkerungen und bei der Umsetzung der metrischen Daten für die Gestaltung der Arbeits- und Lebenswelt.
Diese Auflistung hat nicht das Ziel, als Messanleitung zu dienen, sondern sie soll dem Ergonomen und Designer das anatomische und anthropometrische Basiswissen vermitteln und gleichzeitig die Prinzipien der Messmethoden deutlich machen, um sie bei der Entwicklung von Gestaltungslösungen zu nutzen.
Dieser Teil der ISO 7250 kann in Zusammenhang mit nationalen oder internationalen Vorschriften oder Vereinbarungen zur Vereinheit¬lichung in der Beschreibung von Bevölkerungsgruppen dienen. Vor dem Hinter¬grund der verschiedenen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten wird dabei davon ausgegangen, dass die in dieser Internationalen Norm aufgenommenen anthropometrischen Maße durch spezifische weitere Messungen ergänzt werden.

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 7250-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 159, Ergonomics, Subcommittee SC 3,
Anthropometry and biomechanics.
This first edition of ISO 7250-1 cancels and replaces ISO 7250:1996, of which it constitutes a minor revision.
ISO 7250 consists of the following parts, under the general title Basic human body measurements for
technological design:
⎯ Part 1: Body measurement definitions and landmarks
Statistical summaries of body measurements from individual ISO populations and worldwide and regional
design values for use in ISO equipment standards are to form the subjects of future Parts 2 and 3.

Introduction
The well-being of people is greatly dependent on their geometrical relationship with various factors such as
clothing, places of work, transportation, homes and recreational activities. To ensure harmony between people
and their environments, it is necessary to quantify the size and shape of people for optimization of the
technological design of the workplace and the home environment.

The basic list specified in this part of ISO 7250 is intended to serve as a guide for ergonomists who are
required to define population groups and apply their knowledge to the geometric design of the places where
people work and live.
This list is not intended to serve as a guide for how to take anthropometric measurements, but it gives
information to the ergonomist and designer on the anatomical and anthropometrical bases and principles of
measurement which are applied in the solution of design tasks.
This part of ISO 7250 is intended to be used in conjunction with national or international regulations or
agreements to assure harmony in defining population groups. In its various applications, it is anticipated that
the basic list will be supplemented by specific additional measurements.
2 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1
population group
group of people having some common environment or activity
NOTE These groups may be as diverse as geographically defined populations or specified age groups.
