JIS JAPANESE INDUSTRIAL STANDARD Translated and Published by Japanese Standards Association Ergonomics-Basic human body measurements for technological design ICs 13.180 Reference number : JIS Z 8500 : 2002 (E) PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT 37 s Z 8500 : 2002 Foreword This translation has been made based on the original Japanese Industrial Standard revised by the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry through deliberations at the Japanese Industrial Standards Committee, as the result of proposal for revision of Japanese Industrial Standard submitted by The Japan Ergonomics Society (JES)/the Japanese Standards Association (JSA) with the draft being attached, based on the provision of Article 12 Clause 1 of the Industrial Standardization Law applicable to the case of revision by the provision of Article 14. Consequently JIS Z 8500 : 1994 is replaced with this Standard. In order to conform to the International Standard, this revision has been prepared based on IS0 7250 : 1996 Ergonomics-Basic human body measurements for technological design.

The portions underlined with dots in this Standard are the matters not included in the original International Standard. The list of modified contents is given in the Annex 2 (informative) together with the explanation. The well-being of people is greatly dependent on their geometrical relationship with various factors such as clothing, places of work, transportation, homes and rec- reational activities. To ensure harmony between people and their environments, it is necessary to quantify the size and shape of people for optimization of the techno- logical design of the workplace and the home environment. This Standard may be used in conjunction with national or international regula- tions or agreements to assure harmony in defining population groups. In its various applications, it is anticipated that the basic list will be supplemented by specific ad- ditional measurements. 1 Scope This Standard provides a description of anthropometric measurements which can be used as a basis for comparison of population groups. The basic list specified in this Standard is intended to serve as a guide for er- gonomists who are required to define population groups and apply their knowledge to the geometric design of the places where people work and live. This list is not intended to serve as a guide for how to take anthropometric mea- surements, but it gives information to the ergonomist and designer on the anatomi- cal and anthropometrical bases and principles of measurement which are applied in the solution of design tasks. The International Standard corresponding to this Standard is as fol- lows. Remarks : In addition, symbols which denote the degree of correspondence in the contents between the relevant International Standard and JIS are IDT (identical), MOD (modified), and NEQ (not equivalent) ac- cording to ISO/IEC Guide 21.
