ISO/TC 159 in the field of ergonomics conducts standardization activities on various issues related to humans. TC 159 deals with cross-disciplinary issues such as matters related to human characteristics and problems that arise when humans use products, systems, and environments. For this reason, standard documents based on scientific knowledge and information have been published, and further developments are expected in the future. This presentation addresses the interesting aspects of standardization activities from a researcher's viewpoint, using the standardization of "accessible design," which takes into account the needs of the older people and people with disabilities, as examples.
