ISO 9241-110:2006列出了一般性规定的人体工程学设计原则（即不提及使用，应用，环境或技术的情况），并提供了将这些原则应用于交互式系统的分析，设计和评估的框架。 虽然ISO 9241-110:2006适用于所有类型的交互式系统，但并不涵盖每个使用环境（例如安全关键系统，协同工作）的细节。 它适用于以下类型的用户:用户界面开发工具的设计者和用户界面设计者使用的样式指南;用户界面设计师，谁将在开发过程中应用指导;开发人员将在设计和实施系统功能时应用指导;买家在产品采购时会参考;评估人员，负责确保产品符合其建议。 ISO 9241-110:2006着重于与用户和交互系统之间的对话的人体工程学设计相关的对话原则，不考虑营销，美学或企业设计等设计的其他任何方面。 每个对话原则的建议清单并不详尽

ISO 9241-110:2006 sets forth ergonomic design principles formulated in general terms (i.e. presented without reference to situations of use, application, environment or technology) and provides a framework for applying those principles to the analysis, design and evaluation of interactive systems. While ISO 9241-110:2006 is applicable to all types of interactive systems, it does not cover the specifics of every context of use (e.g. safety critical systems, collaborative work). It is intended for the following types of users: designers of user interface development tools and style guides to be used by user interface designers; user interface designers, who will apply the guidance during the development process; developers, who will apply the guidance during design and implementation of system functionality; buyers, who will reference it during product procurement; evaluators, who are responsible for ensuring that products meet its recommendations. ISO 9241-110:2006 focuses on dialogue principles related to the ergonomic design of the dialogue between user and interactive system, and does not consider any other aspect of design such as marketing, aesthetics or corporate design. The list of recommendations for each of the dialogue principles is not exhaustive.
