本欧洲标准适用于机械上显示和控制执行机构的设计。它规定了与显示器和控制执行器的人类交互的一般原则，以最大限度地减少操作员的错误并确保操作员和设备之间的有效交互。当操作者错误可能导致人身伤害或健康损害时，观察这些原则尤为重要

This European Standard applies to the design of displays and control actuators on machinery. It specifies general principles for human interaction with displays and control actuators, to minimise operator errors and to ensure an efficient interaction between the operator and the equipment. It is particularly important to observe these principles when an operator error may lead to injury or damage to health.
