[Topical problems of hygienic certification of computers]

The paper provides evidence that while making a hygienic certification of computers it is necessary to rely not only on their physical and technical data, but on the characteristics obtained by defining the integral physiological parameters of the quality of displayed information perception. According the state standards CaH [symbol: see text] 2.2.2.54-96, their hygienic certification requires differential assessment of computers with the age-specific features of users (pre-school and young school children, middle- and old-aged schoolchildren, adults). It is proposed that CaH [symbol: see text] 2.2.2.54-96 should be supplemented by a regulation on choice of special working places with appropriate protective devices for the children of a risk group.
