EN ISO 11064-4 - Ergonomic Design of Control Centres - Part 4: Layout and Dimensions of Workstations
This part of ISO 11064 specifies ergonomic principles, recommendations and requirements
for the design of workstations found in control centres. These workstations are to be found in
applications such as transportation control, process control and security installations. It covers
workstation design with particular emphasis on layout and dimensions of primarily seated,
visual-display-based workstations although sit/stand workstations are also addressed.

General Description
Purpose:
The specific purpose of ISO 11064-4 is to cover the layout and dimensions when designing
workstations. Focus is on seated, visual-display-based workstations although sit/stand
workstations are also addressed.
Guidance material
Measure/Response Type:
not applicable
not applicable
Evaluation
Advantages:
The norm provides a good overview of the factors which need to be considered when
designing a workstation.
Disadvantages:
There are no checklists provided whether relevant factors are considered in the design. This
need to be inferred from the text.
Alternative Methods:
It is referred to other ISO norm which are mentioned as required when applying this norm:
ISO 9241-3: 1992, Ergonomic requirements for office work with visual display terminals
(VDTs) ? Part 3: Visual display requirements.
ISO 9241-5: 1998, Ergonomic requirements for office work with visual display terminals
(VDTs) ? Part 5: Workstation layout and postural requirements.
ISO 9355-2: 1999, Ergonomic requirements for the design of displays and control actuators ?
Part 2: Displays.
ISO 11064-3:1999, Ergonomic design of control centres ? Part3: Control room layout.
Ease of use:
The norm is easy to read and to understand.
Efficiency:
With little effort it is possible to consider relevant factors for the design and layout of
workstations.
Effectiveness:
Partly generic, needs interpretation and background knowledge, does not guarantee a
?perfect? design, iterative approach necessary including validation with end-users.
Ease of use:
high
Efficiency:

Cost (June 2012) is 128 CHF (approximately 105 €), therefore it is still considered as
Very low: (<100 €) low costs to purchase or free license, no special devices necessary

The guideline is of relevance after scope and feasibility are analysed and the decision for
building a certain system has been made. Thus the guideline applies for V3.
Application Area:
The guideline is usable for any kind of workstation but is of limited use to cockpit design, due
to its special requirements and constraints (e.g. physical dimensions).
