ISO 9241-129:2010提供了交互系统中个性化的人机工程学指南，包括关于个性化在哪里合适或不合适以及如何应用个性化的建议。 它侧重于软件用户界面的个性化，以支持用户作为个人或某个特定群体的成员的需求。它不建议具体实施个性化机制。它提供了关于如何使个性化的各个方面可用和可访问的指导，但没有具体说明系统中应包括哪些个性化。（个性化取决于交互系统设计和/或使用的特定使用环境，需要针对该特定使用环境进行开发。） ISO 9241-129:2010不打算单独使用。它只在设计一个完整的软件系统的背景下处理个性化。 它旨在与ISO 9241-110和ISO 9241系列中适用于预期系统设计的任何其他部件一起使用。 它的一些指导也可以应用于硬件用户界面和软硬件结合的用户界面。

ISO 9241-129:2010 provides ergonomics guidance on individualization within interactive systems, including recommendations on where individualization might be appropriate or inappropriate and how to apply individualization. It focuses on individualization of the software user interface to support the needs of users as individuals or as members of a defined group. It does not recommend specific implementations of individualization mechanisms. It provides guidance on how the various aspects of individualization are made usable and accessible, but does not specify which individualizations are to be included within a system. (Individualizations depend on the specific context of use for which an interactive system is to be designed and/or used, and need to be developed for that specific context of use.) ISO 9241-129:2010 is not intended to be used in isolation. It deals only with individualization within the context of designing a complete software system. It is intended to be used with ISO 9241-110 and any other parts in the ISO 9241 series applicable to the design of the intended system. Some of its guidance can also be applied to hardware user interfaces and user interfaces that combine software and hardware.
