Human Engineering Design Data Digest
The purpose of the Digest is to furnish a convenient "portable" reference of human engineering design criteria and guidelines. The booklet is a digest of material appearing in MIL-STD-1472, and is complemented with material from MIL-HDBK-759 and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Human Factors Design Guide. The Digest is a product of the Human Factors Standardization SubTAG with the assistance of FAA.

Human Engineering - Principles and Practices (HEB1)
The G-45 (Human Factors) Committee of the Government Electronics and Information Technology Association (GEIA), with the support of the Human Factors Standardization SubTAG, prepared a Human Engineering - Principles and Practices Bulletin. The Bulletin and its annexes provide guidance to the application of human engineering principles and practices in the analysis, design, development, testing, fielding, support, and training for military and commercial systems, equipment, and facilities. As an industry (non-government) document, the use of this document is consistent with DoD's acquisition reform, and could be applied in DoD solicitations. The Bulletin was published by the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) in June 2002 and is available for purchase using the link provided below.

Index of Government Standards on Human Engineering Design Criteria, Processes, and Procedures
The Index provides a comprehensive list of government specifications and standards, as well as some standards-like documents. These may be titled as guides, preferred practices, or similar. The Index is a product of the Human Factors Standardization SubTAG.

Index of Non-Government Standards on Human Engineering Design Criteria and Program Requirements/Guidelines
The Index provides a comprehensive list of non-government specifications and standards. The Index is a product of the Human Factors Standardization SubTAG.

Task Analysis/Task Allocation Report [DI-HFAC-81399B]
The Task Analysis/Task Allocation Report describes the results of analyses of tasks performed by the contractor to provide a basis for evaluation of the design of the system, equipment, or facility. The evaluation will verify that human engineering technical risks have been minimized and solutions are in hand.

Human Engineering Simulation Description [DI-HFAC-80742C]
The Human Engineering Simulation Description describes the contractorËs intended use of mockups and simulators in support of human engineering analysis, requirements definition/implementation, design support, and test and evaluation.


FAA             

Human Engineering Program Plan [FAA-HF-001]
The Human Engineering Program Plan is the single document which describes the contractorËs entire human engineering program, identifies its elements, and explains how the elements will be managed. This document is used by the procuring activity as the principal basis for approval of the contractorËs program and as one basis for review of the contractorËs progress.

Human Engineering Design Approach Document - Operator [FAA-HF-002]
The Human Engineering Design Approach Document - Operator (HEDAD-O) provides a source of data to evaluate the extent to which equipment having an interface with operators meets human performance requirements and human engineering criteria.

Human Engineering Design Approach Document - Maintainer [FAA-HF-003]
The Human Engineering Design Approach Document - Maintainer (HEDAD-M) provides a source of data to evaluate the extent to which equipment having an interface with maintainers meets human performance requirements and human engineering criteria.

Critical Task Analysis Report [FAA-HF-004]
The Critical Task Analysis Report describes the results of analyses of critical tasks performed to provide a basis for evaluation of the design of the system, equipment, or facility, verifying that human engineering technical risks have been minimized and solutions are in hand.

Human Engineering Simulation Concept [FAA-HF-005]
The Human Engineering Simulation Concept describes the contractorËs intended use of mockups and simulators in support of human engineering analysis, design support, and test and evaluation.

DoD Human Factors MIL-STDs & MIL-HDBKs

DoD Design Criteria Standard - Human Engineering [MIL-STD-1472F]
MIL-STD-1472F establishes general human engineering criteria for design and development of military systems, equipment and facilities. Its purpose is to present human engineering design criteria, principles and practices to be applied in the design of systems, equipment and facilities so as to: a) achieve required performance by operator, control, and maintenance personnel; b) minimize skill and personnel requirements, and training time; c) achieve required reliability of personnel-equipment combinations; d) foster design standardization within and among systems.

DoD Design Criteria Standard - Noise Limits [MIL-STD-1474D]

MIL-STD-1474D, Change Notice 1

MIL-STD-1474D defines three different "noise criteria" used to limit noise exposure: a) hearing damage-risk criteria (DRC); b) hearing conservation criteria; c) material design standards.

DoD Handbook - Handbook for Human Engineering Design Guidelines [MIL-HDBK-759C]

MIL-HDBK-759C, Change Notice 1
MIL-HDBK-759C, Change Notice 2

MIL-HDBK-759C provides basic guidelines and data on human engineering design for military systems, equipment, and facilities. This handbook has been designed to supplement MIL-SDT-1472D.

DoD Handbook - Definitions of Human Factors Terms [MIL-HDBK-1908B]
MIL-HDBK-1908B was created to eliminate definition overlap, duplication, and conflict, and to minimize the length of human factors (HFAC) standardization documents; therefore, as HFAC documents have been revised, their definitions were dropped in favor of citing this handbook. While this handbook focuses on definitions of human factors terms, definitions of some non-human factors terms herein have been adopted from MIL-HDBK-505 since they are used very frequently in HFAC documents that, typically, have cited MIL-HDBK-505 or used terms that harmonize with those in MIL-HDBK-505.

DoD Handbook - Human Engineering Program Process and Procedures [MIL-HDBK-46855A]
MIL-HDBK-46855A provides human engineering program task guidance, describes the significance of analysis, design, and test aspects of the human engineering program, outlines procedures found effective in implementing such guidance, and provides summaries of methods.

FAA Human Factors Standard

The Human Factors Design Standard [HF-STD-001]
The purpose of the HFDS is to provide a single easy-to-use source of human factors design criteria, oriented to the needs of the FAA mission and systems. It is an exhaustive compilation of human factors practices and principles integral to the procurement, design, development, and testing of FAA systems, facilities, and equipment. The HFDS replaces and expands upon the Human Factors Design Guide (HFDG) published in 1996 and all HFDG chapter updates. The HFDS broadens the focus to include both air traffic and airway facilities systems and has been modified into a set of standards instead of a set of guidelines, providing a common source of FAA-specific design requirements.

NASA Human Factors Standard

Manned Systems Integration Standards [NASA-STD-3000]
NASA-STD-3000 combines in one document all of the crew interface, Human Factors, Human Factors Engineering, and Ergonomics requirements necessary to design, build, test, and evaluate any hardware or software which a crew member will need to interface with in a zero-g, micro-g, or multiple-g environment while traveling in the vacuum of outer space. Volume I contains all of the requirements, and Volume II contains all of the associated Appendices. Integrated into the Web-site with the document are a number of video clips to illustrate many of the specific requirements.
