operator capabilities. Design shall also minimize personnel and training requirements witlin the limits

of time, cost, and performance trade-offs.

4.2 Standardiition. Qmtro!s, displays, marking, coding, labeling, and arrangement schemes

(equipment and panel layout) shall be uniform for common functions of all equipment. Criterion for

selecting off-the-shelf cornrnmial or Governmen

t equipment shall be the degree to which the

equipment confoxmsto this standard. Where off-the-shelf equipment requires modification in order to

interface with other equipment, the modification shall be designed to comply with the criteria herein.

Redesign of off-the-shelf equipment must have the approval of the procuring activity.

4.3 Function abcation. Design shall reflect allocation of functions to persomel, equipmenL

and personnel-equipment combinations to achieve:

a. required sensitivity, precision, time, and safety,

b. required reliability of system performance,

c. minimum number and level of skills of personnel required to operate and maintain the

system, and

d. required performance in a cost-effective manner.

4.4 Human en~ineerimzdesire. Design shall reflect human engineering, life support, and

biomedical factors that affixt human petiorrnance, including, when applicable:

satisfactory atmospheric conditions including composition pressure, temperature and

humidity, including safeguards against uncontrolled variability beyond acceptable hits;

range of acoustic noise, vibratio%acceleration, shock, blast, and impact forces and

safeguards against uncontrolled variability beyond safe limits;

protection fim thermal, toxicobgical, radidogical, mechanical, electrical, electromagnetic,

pyrotechnic, visual, and other hazmds;
