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 9241-305 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 159, Ergonomics, Subcommittee SC 4,
Ergonomics of human-system interaction.
This first edition of ISO 9241-305, together with ISO 9241-302, cancels and replaces ISO 13406-1:1999 and
ISO 9241-8:1997. Together with ISO 9241-302, ISO 9241-303 and ISO 9241-307, it also cancels and
replaces ISO 9241-7:1998 and ISO 13406-2:2001, and partially replaces ISO 9241-3:1992. The following has
been technically revised:
⎯ terms and definitions related to electronic visual displays have been transferred to, and collected in,
ISO 9241-302;
⎯ while the areas previously covered in ISO 9241 and by ISO 13406 remain essentially unchanged, test
methods and requirements have been updated to account for advances in science and technology;
⎯ all generic ergonomic requirements have been incorporated into ISO 9241-303;
⎯ the application of those requirements to different display technologies, application areas and
environmental conditions — including test methods and pass/fail criteria — is specified in
ISO 9241-307;
⎯ methods for the laboratory testing of those requirements are specified in ISO 9241-305.
ISO 9241 consists of the following parts, under the general title Ergonomic requirements for office work with
visual display terminals (VDTs):
⎯ Part 1: General introduction
⎯ Part 2: Guidance on task requirements
⎯ Part 4: Keyboard requirements
⎯ Part 5: Workstation layout and postural requirements

ISO 9241-305:2008(E)
Introduction
This part of ISO 9241 was prepared with the support of the flat panel display measurements (FPDM) task
[10]
group of VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association, USA). Contributions from its FPDM standard are
identified in Annex C.
The methods specified in this part of ISO 9241 are provided to assist test laboratories (either suppliers’
facilities or test institutes) in deciding whether a specific electronic display conforms to the other relevant parts
of ISO 9241, insofar as such a decision can be made in a laboratory setting. This part of ISO 9241 does not
specify how to select display adjustment parameters or software for making a test representative of intended
actual use. That judgement has to be made by the test laboratory and described in the test report.
ISO 9241 was originally developed as a seventeen-part International Standard on the ergonomics
requirements for office work with visual display terminals. As part of the standards review process, a major
restructuring of ISO 9241 was agreed to broaden its scope, to incorporate other relevant standards and to
make it more usable. The general title of the revised ISO 9241, “Ergonomics of human-system interaction”,
reflects these changes and aligns the standard with the overall title and scope of Technical Committee
ISO/TC 159, Ergonomics, Subcommittee SC 4, Ergonomics of human-system interaction. The revised
multipart standard is structured as series of standards numbered in the “hundreds”: the 100 series deals with
software interfaces, the 200 series with human centred design, the 300 series with visual displays, the 400
series with physical input devices, and so on.
See Annex A for an overview of the entire ISO 9241 series.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 9241-302 apply.
4 General
4.1 Measurements — Basic measurements and derived procedures
The collection of (optical) lab measurements necessary for the compliance evaluations given in this part of
ISO 9241 are divided into basic measurements — identified by M and a measurement number — and
measurement procedures — identified by P and a procedure number (and letter in the case of supplementary
procedures) — briefly described below. Additional information, including decisions on developing the methods
and their use for the definition of compliance procedures, can be found in Annex B.
4.1.1 Basic measurements (or evaluation) — Method M
Basic measurements should describe a fundamental method in as simple a form as possible. Most of the
essential measurement parameters (such as screen location, viewing direction, test pattern) are not specified.
The specified result is a physical quantity or some other directly measured property, and does not involve any
processing of the collected data. These results are usually not directly used in a compliance procedure of the
sort specified in ISO 9241-307. Rather, in a compound measurement procedure (see 4.1.2), a basic
measurement will be used to achieve sets or collections of data.

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------
SIST EN ISO 9241-305:2009
ISO 9241-305:2008(E)
These basic measurements define the types of meters acceptable for use, meter parameters, and any default
parameters (“fixed measurement conditions”), and list the parameters that are to be varied by the compound
measurement procedure (“configurable measurement conditions”). These latter parameters are often defined
by the compliance procedure (see ISO 9241-307).
4.1.2 Compound measurement procedures — Procedure P
Compound measurement procedures are methods that collect and evaluate physical quantities that were
measured using a basic method (see 4.1.1). These procedures reference basic measurements, and may
specify the specific requirements for the “configurable measurement conditions”. They also include any
special preparation procedures. The result of a procedure is a collection of basic quantities (e.g. area or
angular distribution of luminance), or derived quantities (e.g. luminance contrast, colour difference). In many
cases, the measurement procedures could have some of the configurable measurement conditions defined by
the compliance procedure (see ISO 9241-307).
4.2 Structure
The measurement methods given in this part of ISO 9241 are structured as follows.
a) Objective: this describes the purpose and quantities measured.
b) Applicability: this describes the type of displays/applications in which the particular measurement is
relevant.
c) Preparation and set-up: this describes fixed and configurable measurement conditions, optional
accessory equipment, and any special preliminary requirements.
d) Procedure: this describes the measurement or references basic measurement method.
e) Analysis: this describes any analysis of the measured data.
f) Reporting: this describes the form of reporting, including the number of significant digits, where
appropriate.
g) Comments: this describes any special concerns or relevant information not contained elsewhere.
4.3 Matrix of measurement conditions methods and procedures
A matrix of measurement conditions, methods and procedures comparing various source documents
(including earlier International Standards) can be found in Annex C.
NOTE Many of the procedures in this document have been incorporated, in whole or in part, from ISO 9241-3:1992.
See Annex C and the Bibliography for further references.

these settings for all measurements. Adjustment should be performed under the lighting conditions for the
specific compliance route as specified in ISO 9241-307.
5.1.2.6 Image size
Use the factory setting or the default, if available. Otherwise, adjust to a specified size.
5.1.2.7 Video drive levels
If the display uses an analogue interface, then the drive level(s) shall be specified for video signal lines.
Most applications drive the standard RGB interface with either 0,47 V or 0,7 V (corresponding to 2/3 video and
full video respectively) and the use of one of these values is recommended. The value used should be
specified.
5.1.3 Front projection display standard preparation (fixed resolution systems)
5.1.3.1 Display warm-up
Measurements are carried out after 100 h operation of the projection lamp (burn-in time). After switching on,
the minimum warm-up time shall be 1 h unless otherwise specified in ISO 9241-307.
5.1.3.2 Technology depending parameters
Testing shall be conducted under normal user conditions for power supply. The bias settings (if any) of the
display shall be set to those expected under typical use. Any reflection treatment or filter that is in place for the
test specified in 6.5 shall be in place for every test.
One adjustment setting shall be used for each complete test sequence. If multiple settings are provided, this
implies multiple complete test sequences.
5.1.3.3 Cleaning
Ensure that the display screen is clean.
5.1.3.4 Alignment
All optics, convergence controls and focus shall be adjusted so that the projected image appears sharp over
the largest percentage of the illuminated area. Front projection systems shall be positioned relative to the
screen according to the manufacturer’s specifications for angle, height, and distance. Rear-projection systems
shall be adjusted so that the image fills the screen completely (not overfill).
