Introduction

The ISO 9241‑30x family of standards has replaced ISO 9241‑3¹, ISO 9241‑7¹⁾, ISO 9241‑8¹⁾, ISO 13406‑1¹⁾ and ISO 13406‑2¹⁾. The overall goal of the restructuring was to design a modular standard enabling an easy way of adding new intended contexts of use, new measurement methods or new technologies in the ISO 9241‑30x family of standards.

The ISO 9241‑30x family of standards consists of seven individual standards. Table 1 gives an overview (for details see the standards themselves).

This document refers to ISO 9241‑307. It helps explain the transition from the earlier structure of the related standards to the current structure. It will be revised or withdrawn following the revision of ISO 9241‑307.

Part of ISO 9241‑30x	Title and explanation
ISO 9241‑300	Introduction to electronic visual display requirements
ISO 9241‑300	— This part introduces the ISO 9241‑30x family of standards and explains the modular structure.
ISO 9241‑302	Terminology for electronic visual displays
ISO 9241‑302	— This part explains the terms and definitions used in the series.
ISO 9241‑303	Requirements for electronic visual displays
ISO 9241‑303	— This part establishes fundamental image-quality requirements on a generic basis. For assessing its requirements, a testing method is needed regarding its technology, task and environment.
ISO 9241‑304	User performance test methods for electronic visual displays
ISO 9241‑304	— This part provides guidance for assessing the visual ergonomics of display technologies with user performance test methods.
ISO 9241‑305	Optical laboratory test methods for electronic visual displays
ISO 9241‑305	— This part contains test methods for measurement of the requirements given in ISO 9241‑303.
ISO 9241‑306	Field assessment methods for electronic visual displays
ISO 9241‑306	— This part describes simplified optical, geometrical and visual assessment methods that can be used for on-site measurements at visual display workstations.^a
ISO 9241‑307	Analysis and compliance test methods for electronic visual displays
ISO 9241‑307	— This part establishes test methods for the analysis of a variety of visual display technologies, tasks and environments. It refers to the general requirements given in ISO 9241‑303 and test methods given in ISO 9241‑305 for assessment of conformity for different (display-) technologies and the anticipated contexts of use.
