ISO 9241 (Ergonomics of human system-interaction) has 17 parts containing requirements for hardware and recommendations for software (with a requirement that the applicability of all relevant guidelines is assessed).

ISO 13407 (Human-centred design processes for interactive systems) contains guidelines for human centred design processes. It is supported by ISO TR 18529 (Human-centred lifecycle process descriptions) that contains a formalised model intended to be used for assessment of the human-centred processes described in ISO 13407.
