Standardization Documents - General Information
General Overview:
This section contains records of technical standardization documents covering human systems integration (HSI). Many documents (not included in this section) are titled as standards, but provide professional standards, administrative standards, policy statements, and similar non-technical information. On the other hand, many documents provide technical guidance and requirements in the HSI area, and are written as standards, but are titled as "guidelines," "preferred practices," "handbooks," and the like. Accordingly, documents are not included in this section merely because they are titled or numerically designated as standards or related documents.
Selection of Listings:
Documents are not included solely because their contents are expressed as standards. To qualify for inclusion in this section, a document must:
- have been developed on a consensus basis
- have undergone some type of formal coordination
- have followed defined rules of due process for disposition of review comments
- have been developed in an open, transparent manner
- have been developed by a government or non-government standards body
- follow a specified format published by that body
- consist of technical (rather than professional or administrative) provisions
- present requirements and/or guidelines (rather than tutorials)
- provide human factors design and/or programmatic requirements and/or guidelines
- express provisions that can be measured or otherwise evaluated
