Human factors are the cornerstone for insuring QHSESA quality for all/some/many systems. Normative documents such as ISO 15288 or EIA 632 provide keys to human factors processes and activities. There are few links between system engineering (SE) processes and human factors engineering (HFE) processes. This article bridges the gap between SE, using EIA 632, and HFE, using ISO TS 13407 and ISO TR 16982. The purpose is to provide project managers and system engineers with a guide helping them to plan and implement human centred design. The first part deals with SE, the second with HFE, and the third provides the bridge between the two. For each EIA 632 requirement, the article indicates the relevant ISO 13407 principles and activities to apply. ISO 13407 is not as specific and clear as EIA 632. It would be relevant to enhance HF standards in order to encompass such processes as risk management, effectiveness analysis, or trade‐off analysis.
