# Directive 2006/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 on machinery, and amending Directive 95/16/EC (recast) (Text with EEA relevance), Division 1.1.6: Ergonomics

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Under the intended conditions of use, the discomfort, fatigue and physical and psychological stress faced by the operator must be reduced to the minimum possible, taking into account ergonomic principles such as:
allowing for the variability of the operator's physical dimensions, strength and stamina,
providing enough space for movements of the parts of the operator's body,
avoiding a machine-determined work rate,
avoiding monitoring that requires lengthy concentration,
adapting the man/machinery interface to the foreseeable characteristics of the operators.
