This part of ISO 14505 gives guidelines and specifies a standard test method for the assessment, using
human subjects, of thermal comfort in vehicles. It is not restricted to any particular vehicle but provides the
general principles that allow assessment and evaluation. The method can be used to determine a measure of
the performance of a vehicle for conditions of interest, in terms of whether it provides thermal comfort to
people or not. This can be used in vehicle development and evaluation.
This part of ISO 14505 is applicable to all types of vehicles, including cars, buses, trucks, off-road vehicles,
trains, aircraft, ships, submarines, and to the cabins of cranes and similar spaces. It applies where people are
enclosed in a vehicle and when they are exposed to outside conditions. For those exposed to outside
conditions, such as riders of bicycles or motorcycles, drivers of open sports cars and operators of fork lift
trucks without cabins, vehicle speed and weather conditions can dominate responses. The principles of
assessment, however, will still apply.
This part of ISO 14505 applies to both passengers and operators of vehicles where its application does not
interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.
It presents the principles of the assessment and evaluation of thermal comfort, including the use of test
methods and trials. It also presents subjective methods that can be used in assessment.
This part of ISO 14505 is a basic ergonomics standard which can contribute to the development of standards
concerned with specific vehicles and products.
Diese Internationale Norm enthält Leitlinien und legt ein genormtes Verfahren für die Beurteilung der thermischen Behaglichkeit in Fahrzeugen durch Versuchspersonen fest. Sie ist nicht auf bestimmte Fahrzeuge beschränkt, sondern liefert die allgemeinen Grundsätze für Beurteilung und Bewertung. Die Norm liefert ein Prüfverfahren für die Beurteilung der thermischen Behaglichkeit in Fahrzeugumgebungen. Das Verfahren kann angewendet werden, um die Leistung eines Fahrzeuges im Hinblick darauf festzustellen, ob dieses unter bestimmten interessierenden Bedingungen thermische Behaglichkeit bietet oder nicht. Es kann bei der Entwicklung und der Bewertung von Fahrzeugen angewendet werden.
