ISO 9241-100:2010使与软件人体工程学相关标准的用户能够识别与软件开发特别相关的人体工程学标准，了解软件人体工程学标准的内容，了解软件人体工程学标准在指定用户需求方面的作用作为设计和评估用户界面，了解各种标准之间的关系。 软件人机工程学标准适用于影响可用性的交互式系统的所有软件组件，包括应用软件（包括基于Web的应用程序），操作系统，嵌入式软件，软件开发工具和辅助技术

ISO 9241-100:2010 enables users of standards related to software ergonomics to identify ergonomics standards particularly relevant to software development, gain an overview on the content of software-ergonomics standards, understand the role of software-ergonomics standards in specifying user requirements as well as designing and evaluating user interfaces and understand the relationship between the various standards. The software-ergonomics standards are applicable to all those software components of an interactive system affecting usability, including application software (including web-based applications), operating systems, embedded software, software development tools and assistive technologies.
