<p>This International Standard describes how International Standards concerned with the ergonomics of the</p>
<p>physical environment can be applied for people with special requirements, who would otherwise be considered</p>
<p>to be beyond the scope of those standards. It has been produced according to the principles of accessible</p>
<p>design provided in ISO/IEC Guide 71 and using the data provided in ISO/TR 22411.</p>
<p>It is not restricted to any specific environment but provides the general principles that allow assessment and</p>
<p>evaluation, and can contribute to the development of standards concerned with specific environments. It is</p>
<p>applicable to built environments as well as to other indoor, vehicle and outdoor environments. Nor is it restricted</p>
<p>to specific environmental components; it includes assessment of acoustic environments, thermal environments,</p>
<p>lighting, air quality and other environmental factors that could be considered to influence the health, comfort</p>
<p>and performance of people with special requirements in an environment.</p>
<p>It is applicable to all occupants of such environments who can be considered to have special requirements.</p>
<p>NOTE This will depend upon context and can, for example, include babies, infants, men or women, people with</p>
<p>disabilities, older or ill people. A person could have a special requirement in one type of environment but not in another.</p>
