Abstract

In recent years an increasing number of official ergonomic standards has become available world-wide. The International Standardization Organization (ISO) and the European standardization organization Comite Europeen de Normalisation (CEN) have published 28 ergonomic standards, whereas 69 standards are in preparation. VDU-work, danger signals, and thermal stress are the best-covered areas, but also areas such as manual materials handling and mental workload are covered. The majority of the draft standards will be published within 2-3 years.
