DIN EN 894-2:2009 Safety of machinery - Ergonomics requirements for the design of displays and control actuators - Part 2: Displays(includes Amendment A1:2008); English version of DIN EN 894-2:2009-02
This European Standard gives guidance on the selection,-design and location of displays to avoid potential
ergonomic hazards associated with their use. It specifies ergonomics requirements and covers visual, audible
and tactile displays.
It applies to displays used in machinery (e.g. devices and installations, control panels, operating and
monitoring consoles) for occupational and private use. Specific ergonomics requirements for visual display
terminals (VDTs) used for office tasks are given in the standard EN ISO 9241.
