NF EN ISO 9241-112, X35-122-112 (06/2025)

ISO 9241-112:2017 sets out ergonomic design principles for interactive systems in relation to software-controlled presentation of information through user interfaces. It applies to the three main modalities (visual, audio, tactile/haptic) generally used in information and communication technologies. These principles apply to the perception and understanding of the information presented. These principles are applicable to the analysis, design and evaluation of interactive systems. This document also provides recommendations corresponding to the principles. The recommendations associated with each of the principles are not exhaustive and are not necessarily independent of each other. Although this document is applicable to all types of interactive systems, it does not cover the specifics of particular application areas. This document also applies to output from interactive systems (such as printed documents, e.g. invoices). The guidelines in this document for presenting information are intended to assist the user in accomplishing tasks. These guidelines do not address the presentation of information for other purposes (e.g. corporate branding or advertising). It is intended for the following types of users: - user interface designers, who will apply the guidelines during the development process; - developers, who will apply the guidelines when designing and implementing system functionalities; - evaluators, who are required to ensure that the products comply with the recommendations; - designers of user interface development tools and style guides intended for use by interface designers; - project managers, who are responsible for managing development processes; - buyers, who will refer to this document when purchasing the product.
