There are a great number of international standards available to support the application of HOF in practice. Individual countries and organisations may also have their own standards or codes of practice.
While there are some railway specific standards, for example relating to the design of the train cab, there are many more international standards that apply across industries. Standards can be a source of requirements for changes or projects.
Some of the most relevant standards include:
EN 62682 on Alarm Management
EN 16186 series on Train Cab Design
UIC 651 on Train Cab Design
ISO 11064 series on Ergonomic Design of Control Centres
ISO 10075: Ergonomic principles related to mental workload
ISO 20282: Ease of operation of everyday products
ISO 27500 series: The human-centred organization
ISO 7250: Basic human body measurements for technological design
ISO 6385 on Ergonomics principles in the design of work systems
ISO 26800 on the General approach, principles and concepts in Ergonomics
ISO 9241 series on Ergonomics of human-system interaction
