These guideline sets can be installed using the Guideline Tool. The NUREG-0700 human-system interface design review guidelines have been developed by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission. For information about NUREG-0700 see: http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff/sr0700/ The complete set of guidelines is large and includes guidelines that are not applicable for testing in a virtual reality model constructed using HVRC CREATE. However, for those user that intend to perform comprehensive reviews against the 0700 guidelines, we have provided the complete set so the Verification Tool can be used to manage the results of all tests, including those that are not performed in the virtual model. Note that picture files can be added to a Verification Tool review by dragging and dropping them from your file-system onto the Snapshots panel to illustrate a review, so it possible to use the Verification Tool to manage all of your review data. For users that do not require the entire NUREG-0700 guideline set, we recommend installing the "subset" version instead, which only includes the chapters that are directly relevant to control room layout evaluation. Note that if you install the full version of NUREG-0700, the Project Management Tool can still be used to limit the number of guidelines available to reviewers within a project in the Verification Tool. The NUREG guidelines for which CREATE supports automated testing are: NUREG-0700 Revision 2 --------------------- Chapter 11 WORKSTATION DESIGN 11.1 Workstation Configuration 11.1.2 Sit-Down Console Dimensions 11.1.2-1 Console Height to See Over 11.1.2-2 Control Height 11.1.2-4 Minimum Distance of Controls from the Front Edge of the Console 11.1.2-5 Display Height and Orientation 11.1.2-6 Location of Frequently Monitored Displays 11.1.2-7 Location of Infrequently Monitored Displays 11.1.2-8 VDU Viewing Distance 11.1.2-9 Lateral Spread of Controls and Displays 11.3 Labeling and Demarcations 11.3.1 Labels 1.3.1.5 Label Lettering 11.3.1.5-1 Character Height Chapter 12 WORKPLACE DESIGN 12.1 Control Room 12.1.1 Control Room Configuration 12.1.1.3 Furniture and Equipment Layout 12.1.1.3-5 Maneuvering Space 12.1.2 Control Room Environment 12.1.2.5 Auditory Environment 12.1.2.5-2 Background Noise 12.1.2.5-3 Background Noise Level NUREG-0700 Revision 3 --------------------- Chapter 11 WORKSTATION DESIGN 11.2 Workstations Containing Primarily Analog HSIs 11.2.1 Analog Workstation Configuration11.2.1.1 General 11.2.1.1 General 11.2.1.1-1 Console Height To See Over 11.2.1.1-2 Location of Controls 11.2.1.1-3 Benchboard Slope 11.2.1.1-4 Minimum Distance of Controls from the Front Edge of the Console 11.2.1.1-5 Location of Displays 11.2.1.1-6 Horizontal Viewing Angle for Important Displays 11.2.1.2 Standup Workstations 11.2.1.2-1 Height Range for Controls 11.2.1.2-2 Height Range for Important Controls 11.2.1.2-3 Height Range for Displays 11.2.1.2-4 Height Range for Important Displays 11.2.1.2-5 Lateral Spread of Controls and Displays 11.3.1.2 Relationship to Viewer (Viewing Angles and Distances) 11.3.1.2-3 Minimum Viewing Distance Chapter 12 WORKPLACE DESIGN 12.1 Control Rooms 12.1.1 Control Room Configuration 12.1.1.2 Furniture and Equipment Layout 12.1.1.2-7 Maneuvering Space 12.1.1.2-8 Distance of Equipment to Opposing Surface 12.1.2 Control Room Environment 12.1.2.5 Auditory Environment 12.1.2.5-2 Oral Communications Contact create-support@ife.no for details on latest updates to rev3 package as more rules will be added in future. You can also request to be informed by e-mail when new versions of the guideline sets become available to download. The meta-data tags used by the NUREGs guideline sets to enable automated testing are: - console - workstation - frequent - infrequent - critical - ignore-special - person[0-9] For automated-testing to work effectively then key objects in the layout need to be correctly tagged using the tags listed above.
