EN ISO 9241-5 Ergonomic Requirements for Office Work with Visual Display Terminals (VDT), Part 5: Workstation Layout Test Standard

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN ISO 9241-5 standard. This part of EN ISO 9241 specifies ergonomic guidelines that apply to user requirements, design and procurement of workstation equipment for office tasks using VDTs.

In particular, the general principles and conditions specified in this part of EN ISO 9241 apply to the standards that determine the technical design of the furniture and equipment that make up the workplace.

The purpose of this part of ISO 9241 is to promote and increase performance and comfort while minimizing risks to the safety and health of users.

Users of visual display terminals (VDTs) in office work typically adopt a range of postures (prone, upright or reclined body sitting, standing, or a combination of both). Workplaces suitable for such use can encourage movement, promote comfort, and reduce physical, mental, and visual problems.

This part of ISO 9241 is intended for use by product and workstation designers and practitioners.
