In IEC 62366-1 A1, the "use environment" includes social attributes such as team versus individual, chaotic versus calm, stress level and length of shift can also play a role. How does this change impact my usability engineering process?

For some insight into how to approach usability for different circumstances, See Chapter 2 of this DOE Handbook on Human Performance. This is by far the most straightforward explanation (and taxonomy) of usability I have ever come across... and it is free!
