Ergonomic design for the safety of machinery — Part 3: Anthropometric data
This part of ISO 15534 specifies current requirements for human body measurements (anthropometric data) that are
required by ISO 15534-1 and ISO 15534-2 for the calculation of access-opening dimensions as applied to machinery.
The anthropometric data originate from static measurements of nude persons and do not take into account body
movements, clothing, equipment, machinery-operating conditions or environmental conditions.
The data are based on information from anthropometric surveys representative of population groups within Europe
comprising at least three million people. Both men and women are taken into account.
Measurements are given, as required by ISO 15534-1 and ISO 15534-2, for the 5th, 95th and 99th percentiles of the
relevant population group within Europe.
