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.

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

Introduction
The use of interactive systems takes place within a physical environment. The design of the physical
environment is decisive with regard to the outcome of the interaction between a variety of sizes of
users and the physical environment. As described in the system concept of ISO 26800, the physical
environment is embedded in an organizational and a social and cultural environment.
This document deals with the physical environment in which a physically diverse user group is assigned
to one or more workplaces, or spatial environments, to accomplish a task. The entirety of the spatial
environments assigned to a user is called environment of use. The relevant physical attributes of the
environment of use include issues such as air quality, thermal conditions, lighting, noise, spatial layout
and furniture. Specifically, this document discusses concepts for the spatial layout of workplaces so
that they match the physical anthropometric characteristics of the intended user population.

3.6
weighting
assignment of a statistically determined multiplier to an individual’s anthropometric data in order to
reflect its relative importance in making the sample representative of the intended user population’s
anthropometry
4 Accommodation estimates are statistical inferences based on samples drawn
from the intended user population
4.1 Population samples
4.1.1 Samples
In order to estimate anthropometric accommodation, the intended user population needs to be defined.
For example, Japanese adult civilians between the ages of 18 and 70, or all Finnish children between the
age of 0 months and 24 months.
The sample should be large enough to be statistically representative of the intended user population.
Often, the extremes of the data, the largest or smallest measurements, are of great interest to designers.
The sample should be large enough that those individuals whose measurements are in the extremes are
well represented in terms of count, thus avoiding over-reliance on too few individuals in the extremes of
[4]
the measurement distribution. According to the BIFMA G1 Guideline (BIFMA 2013) , “typically 1 000
or more individuals are needed for each gender to ensure good precision in the tails of the distribution
where the design decisions are made”.
Similarly, the sample should accurately reflect the demographics of the intended user population.
For example, a sample of anthropometric measurements of military personnel are generally not
representative of the civilian population as they are based on younger individuals who are likely fitter
and leaner than the civilian population from which the military are drawn.
4.1.2 Weighting
In some cases, the sample of anthropometric data does not exactly match the demography of the
intended users. For example, military data often do not exactly match civilian data on variables such
as height, mass and age. A practical solution is to statistically weight individuals within the sample in
[7] [6]
proportion to their representation in the population of intended users . However, as Gordon has
emphasized, the technique of statistically weighting the sample data is useful in representing the target
population, but its utility does not extend to intended user populations that differ from the sample.
For example, there are sufficient differences in the range of height between the Korean and Dutch
populations that one cannot be weighted to represent the other.
4.2 Univariate accommodation estimates
The simplest accommodation estimates are those where only one variable, such as height, is involved.
In such cases, a percentile value gives a useful estimate of accommodation. For example, a designer
can want to design the ceiling of a room in an air terminal so that it provides a 20-cm clearance above
the heads of at least 95 % of all males from anywhere in the world. Then, a design height that is 20 cm
greater than the greatest 95th percentile value of males’ height in ISO/TR 7250-2 would reasonably be
expected to accommodate at least 95 % of all males worldwide. An even greater proportion of females
would be accommodated as men are generally taller than women.
NOTE The air terminal designer notes that the tallest males in the ISO/TR 7250-2 data set are from the
th
Netherlands, and that the 95 percentile value for their height is 195,9 cm. The designer adds 20 cm to the
95th percentile value and is reasonably confident that a ceiling height of 215,9 cm comfortably accommodates at
least 95 % of all male travellers.

A similar accommodation estimate can be made using a 5th percentile value. C
