The working group on design and evaluation of intelligent system ergonomics, under SAC/TC 7, Ergonomics, was officially established in Qingdao city, Shandong province on June 18.

The launching ceremony was jointly organized by the Sub-institute of Fundamental Standardization of CNIS and China Standard Certification Co., Ltd. It was attended by more than 60 experts and industry representatives in fields such as smart home technology, intelligent driving, wearable devices, medical health, and nuclear engineering.

The meeting was presided over by Zhang Xin, Secretary General of SAC/TC 7, and addressed by Zhang Xin, General Manager of China Standard Science and Technology Group Co., Ltd. Zhao Chaoyi, Chair of SAC/TC 7, officially announced the establishment of the working group. The working group’s positioning, scope of work, and short-term plan were clearly defined at the meeting.

Keynote speeches at the meeting focused on the international standardization development trend of intelligent system ergonomics, the status of relevant national standards under development, the role of ergonomics in the field of smart home appliances, standardization requirements of ergonomics of intelligent operating system, as well as characteristics and specific requirements of intelligent medical devices for human factors engineering. The attendees also discussed topics such as the direction of standards development for intelligent system ergonomics and key technical indicators.

The working group aims to apply the research results of ergonomics to the standardization of intelligent systems, and enhance the safety, comfort and efficiency of intelligent systems through multidisciplinary cooperation. It will focus on developing and revising standards for ergonomics design and evaluation in applications such as smart home appliances, wearable devices, medical care, intelligent cockpits, and robotics.
