i . SCOPE

1.1 Scope. This standard establib general human engineering design criteria for rni]i~

systems, subsystems, equipment and facilities.

1.2 PurDose. The purpose of this standard is to present human engineering des~gncriteri%

principles, and practices to ac~:ve mis&on succms through integmti?n of the h- mt? the system,

subsystem, equipment and faclhty, and aciueve effectiveness, sunphclv, ei%ciency, rehabiliu, and

safety of system operation, training, and maintewce.

i.3 Amiication. This standard shall be applied to the design of all systems, subsystem,

equipment and fmilities. Notig in this stantid shall be construd as limiting the selection of

hardware, materials, or procesws to the specific items descri~d herein. Unless othetiw stated in

specific provisiom, this standard applies to design of systems, subsystems, equipment and facilities

for use by both men and women. This standmd is not intended to be a criterion for limiting use of

materiel already in the field in areas such as lifl repetition or tempem~ expos~e time. Where the

proc~ =tivity ~bkhes usc by & personnel exchsiveiy, the paragrap~ listed in Table I are
