ISO 9241-143:2012提供了表单设计和评估的要求和建议，用户在表单中填写、选择条目或修改系统显示的“表单”或对话框上的标签字段。通常，系统随后会创建或更新与表单关联的数据。基于表单的条目通常采用键入输入（缩写或全名）或从可用选项列表中选择的形式。 ISO 9241-143:2012适用于各种形式，无论呈现形式如何（视觉、空间、声音）；它的大部分指导是基于视觉和空间关系的模型。此外，它还规定了使用非文本方法提供表单条目（例如。 g、 列表框）和使用表单技术的对话框。本手册提供了与表单相关的用户界面元素的选择和设计指南。 虽然它涵盖了用于输入表单数据的列表，但与列表类似的菜单不在其范围内（参见ISO 9241-14）。它不适用于表单的硬件方面。 ISO 9241-143:2012中的要求和建议适用于整个开发过程（例如，在设计过程中作为设计师的指导，作为启发式评估的基础，作为可用性测试的指导）和采购过程。

ISO 9241-143:2012 provides requirements and recommendations for the design and evaluation of forms, in which the user fills-in, selects entries for or modifies labelled fields on a "form" or dialogue box presented by the system. Often the system then creates or updates the data associated with the form. Form-based entries typically are in the form of typed input (abbreviations, or full names) or selections from available option lists. ISO 9241-143:2012 is applicable to forms regardless of the modality in which they are rendered (visual, spatial, vocal); much of its guidance is based on a model of visual and spatial relationship. In addition, it specifies the use of non-text methods for providing forms entries (e.g. list boxes) and pertains to dialogue boxes which utilize form techniques. Guidance is provided on the selection and design of those user-interface elements relevant to forms. While it covers lists used to enter forms data, menus which are similar to lists are outside its scope (see ISO 9241？14). It is not applicable to the hardware aspects of forms. The requirements and recommendations in ISO 9241-143:2012 are applicable throughout the development process (for example, as guidance for designers during design, as a basis for heuristic evaluation, as guidance for usability testing) and in the procurement process.
