Provides information and descriptions of anthropometric measurements as the basis for comparing population groups for ergonomists and others involved in the geometric design of places where people work.

This Standard provides a description of anthropometric measurements which may be used as a basis for comparison of population groups.The basic list specified in this Standard is intended to serve as a guide for ergonomists who are required to define population groups and apply their knowledge to the geometric design of the places where people work and live.This list is not intended to serve as a guide for how to take anthropometric measurements, but it gives in-formation to the ergonomist and designer on the ana-tomical and anthropometrical bases and principles of measurement which are applied in the solution of design tasks.
