Gives a methodology to achieve coherent application of various ergonomics standards for the design of machinery.

This European Standard provides a methodology to achieve a coherent application of various ergonomics standards for the design of machinery. This standard presents a step model calling upon specific standards. To this end, Annex A shows a reference table with relation between hazards as described in ENISO12100:2010 and applicable B-standards related to ergonomics.

This European Standard can only be used in combination with other relevant ergonomics standards.

This European Standard provides guidance where no relevant or suitable ergonomics clauses in C-type standards are available.

This European Standard may also be used for incorporating ergonomics in the drafting of C-type standards (see Annex C for further information).
