Ta del standarda ISO 9241 določa kriterije na osnovi ergonomičnih faktorjev za načrtovanje naprav za fizični vnos podatkov za interaktivne sisteme, vključno s tipkovnicami, miškami, ploščki, igralnimi palicami, sledilnimi kroglicami, sledilnimi ploščicami, tablicami in prevlekami, zasloni na dotik, pisali ter napravami z glasovnim nadzorom in nadzorom s kretnjami. Podaja navodila za načrtovanje teh naprav, pri čemer upošteva zmožnosti in omejitve uporabnikov ter določa splošne kriterije načrtovanja za naprave za fizični vnos podatkov ter tudi določene kriterije za posamezno vrsto naprave. Zahteve za načrtovanje izdelkov so podane kot rezultat vidikov brez konteksta ali so določene na osnovi določenih kriterijev načrtovanja za predvideno uporabo; takšni določeni kriteriji so običajno razdeljeni na opravilno usmerjene kategorije, kjer je to primerno. Zahtevano kategorijo za ločljivost je mogoče določiti na osnovi lastnosti opravila, populacije uporabnikov in konteksta uporabe za predvideno uporabo. Ta del standarda ISO 9241 ne določa kategorij, ki ustrezajo napravam, ker glede na koncept uporabnosti izdelek nima temeljne uporabnosti. Izbira kategorije, ki ji pripada določena lastnost naprave, je odvisna od načrtovanja izdelka. Ta del standarda ISO 9241 naj bi uporabljali proizvajalci naprav za fizični vnos podatkov, vključno z načrtovalci izdelkov in organizatorji preskusov, in sicer za določanje lastnosti načrtovanja naprave za predviden kontekst uporabe (populacija uporabnikov, opravilo, programska oprema ali okolje itd.). Podatke ki jih generirajo uporabniki tega dela standarda ISO 9241 za opis lastnosti svojih izdelkov, je mogoče uporabiti pri izbiri naprave, ki ustreza dejanskemu kontekstu uporabe glede na osnove opravila, pomembne za opravilo določene uporabniške populacije ter za doseganje zahtevane ravni učinkovitosti in uspešnosti danega sistema.

Overview
EN ISO 9241-410:2008/A1:2012, titled Ergonomics of human-system interaction - Part 410: Design criteria for physical input devices, is an international standard developed by ISO and maintained by CEN. It provides detailed ergonomic guidelines and design criteria for physical input devices used in human-system interaction. This amendment (A1:2012) updates the original 2008 standard by incorporating references to evaluation methods necessary for assessing conformity.
As part of the broader ISO 9241 series on ergonomics in office work and human-system interaction, this standard specifically targets the design of physical input devices such as keyboards, mice, touchpads, and other peripheral devices, emphasizing usability, comfort, and workplace efficiency.
Key Topics
- Ergonomic design principles for physical input devices that optimize user comfort and minimize strain.
- Human-system interaction criteria focusing on improving the quality and intuitiveness of input device operation.
- Reference to ISO/TS 9241-411, which specifies evaluation methods needed to verify compliance with design requirements.
- Conformance testing guidelines to ensure input devices meet ergonomic and usability benchmarks.
- Guidance on physical input device characteristics, including shape, size, force, feedback, and operational consistency.
- Integration within the larger ISO 9241 family of standards, addressing diverse aspects of human-computer interaction ergonomics.
Applications
This standard is essential for manufacturers, designers, and engineers involved in developing physical input devices for computing environments, including:
- Office equipment production such as ergonomic keyboards and mice, ensuring they meet user comfort and safety needs.
- Information technology peripherals used in personal computers, workstations, and specialized hardware.
- User-interface hardware design for accessibility, accommodating users with varied physical abilities.
- Quality assurance and testing departments to evaluate device ergonomics systematically using standardized methods.
- Human factors specialists and ergonomists providing consultancy on optimizing workplace interaction and reducing repetitive strain injuries.
By adhering to EN ISO 9241-410:2008/A1:2012, organizations can enhance device usability, reduce user fatigue, and improve overall productivity in digital work environments.
