regarding the notification shall be indicated if different from above:   
3. Notified under Article 2.9.2 [X], 2.10.1 [  ], 5.6.2 [  ], 5.7.1 [  ], other:  
4. Products covered (HS or CCCN where applicable, otherwise national tariff 
heading. ICS numbers may be provided in addition, where applicable): 
Occupational safety. Industrial hygiene (ICS 13.100), Ergonomics (ICS 13.180).  
5. Title, number of pages and lang uage(s) of the notified document: DUS 1828: 2017, 
Standard Guide for Integration of Ergonomics/Human Factors into New Occupational 
Systems. (18 page(s), in English)    
6. Description of content: This draft guide is intended to assist in the integration of 
ergonomic principles into the design and planning of new occupational systems from the 
earliest design stages through implementation. Doing so may reduce or eliminate the 
necessity for later redesign that could have been foreseen.  
7. Objective and rationale, including the nature of urgent problems where 
applicable: Protection of human health or safety
