EN ISO 14505-3:2006

Ergonomics of the thermal environment - Evaluation of the thermal environment in vehicles - Part 3: Evaluation of thermal comfort using human subjects (ISO 14505-3:2006)

ISO 14505-3:2006 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.
ISO 14505-3:2006 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.
ISO 14505-3:2006 applies to both passengers and operators of vehicles where its application does not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.

Ergonomie der thermischen Umgebung - Bewertung der thermischen Umgebungen in Fahrzeugen - Teil 3: Bewertung der thermischen Behaglichkeit durch Versuchspersonen (ISO 14505-3:2006)

Dieser Teil von ISO 14505 enthält Leitlinien und legt ein genormtes Prüfverfahren für die Beurteilung der thermischen Behaglichkeit in Fahrzeugen durch Versuchspersonen fest. Er ist nicht auf bestimmte Fahrzeuge beschränkt, sondern liefert die allgemeinen Grundsätze für Beurteilung und Bewertung. Das Verfahren kann zur Bestimmung eines Maßes für die Leistung eines Fahrzeuges unter den interessierenden Bedingungen verwendet werden, um festzustellen, ob eine thermische Behaglichkeit für die Personen möglich ist. Dies kann sowohl bei der Entwicklung als auch bei der Bewertung von Fahrzeugen verwendet werden.
Dieser Teil von ISO 14505 ist für alle Arten von Fahrzeuge einschließlich Autos, Bussen, Lastkraftwagen, geländegängigen Fahrzeugen, Zügen, Flugzeugen, Schiffen, U Booten, Führerkabinen von Kranen und ähnlichen Räumen anwendbar. Er gilt für Situationen, in denen sich Personen in einem geschlossenen Fahrzeug befinden, aber auch für solche, in denen sie den Bedingungen im Freien ausgesetzt sind. Bei den Personen, die den Bedingungen im Freien ausgesetzt sind, beispielsweise bei Benutzern von Fahrrädern oder Motorrädern, Fahrern von Sportwagen und Gabelstaplern ohne Führerkabinen, werden möglicherweise die Reaktionen verstärkt durch die Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit und die Wetterbedingungen beeinflusst sein. Die Grundsätze der Beurteilung gelten jedoch auch hier weiterhin.
Dieser Teil von ISO 14505 gilt sowohl für Fahrgäste als auch Fahrer/Bediener von Fahrzeugen, sofern durch die Anwendung der Norm die sichere Bedienung des Fahrzeuges nicht beeinträchtigt wird.
Er enthält die Grundsätze zur Beurteilung und Bewertung der thermischen Behaglichkeit, ein¬schließlich der Anwendung von Prüfverfahren und Versuchen. Er enthält auch subjektive Verfahren, die bei der Beurteilung angewendet werden können.

Ergonomie des ambiances thermiques - Évaluation des ambiances thermiques dans les véhicules - Partie 3: Évaluation du confort thermique en ayant recours à des sujets humains (ISO 14505-3:2006)

L'ISO 14505-3:2006 donne des lignes directrices et spécifie une méthode d'essai pour l'évaluation du confort thermique offert par les véhicules, en faisant appel à des sujets humains. Elle ne se limite pas à un véhicule particulier mais pose des principes généraux permettant l'évaluation et l'appréciation. Cette méthode peut servir à mesurer les performances d'un véhicule dans des conditions déterminées et peut permettre de vérifier si celui-ci offre ou non un confort thermique à ses utilisateurs. Elle peut être utilisée pour le développement et l'évaluation des véhicules.
L'ISO 14505-3:2006 est applicable à l'ensemble des véhicules, y compris les voitures particulières, les autobus, les camions, les véhicules tout terrain, les trains, les aéronefs, les navires, les sous-marins, les cabines de grue et les espaces assimilés. Elle est applicable aux personnes prenant place dans un véhicule ainsi qu'à celles exposées aux conditions extérieures. Pour celles exposées aux conditions extérieures, par exemple les cyclistes, les motocyclistes, les conducteurs et passagers de voitures de sport et les opérateurs de chariots élévateurs à fourche sans cabine, la vitesse du véhicule et les conditions météorologiques peuvent constituer des facteurs dominants qui conditionnent les réponses. Cependant, les principes d'évaluation demeurent applicables.
L'ISO 14505-3:2006 est applicable aux passagers ainsi qu'aux conducteurs ou opérateurs des véhicules, dans la mesure où son application n'entrave pas la bonne marche et la sécurité du véhicule.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 14505-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 159, Ergonomics, Subcommittee SC 5,
Ergonomics of the physical environment.
ISO 14505 consists of the following parts, under the general title Ergonomics of the thermal environment —
Evaluation of the thermal environment in vehicles:
⎯ Part 1: Principles and methods for assessment of thermal stress
⎯ Part 2: Determination of equivalent temperature
⎯ Part 3: Evaluation of thermal comfort using human subjects

ISO 14505-3:2006(E)
Introduction
Direct methods for the assessment of thermal environments (hot, moderate, cold) in vehicles involve
measurements of the responses of human subjects. There are three types: subjective methods, objective
methods, and behavioural methods. Subjective methods quantify the responses of people to an environment
using subjective scales. Objective methods are those which quantify the physical, physiological or mental
condition of a person by the use of instrumentation or measures of an output such as performance measures.
Behavioural methods quantify or represent human behaviour in response to an environment. Each of these
methods has been developed according to basic principles and the most appropriate form of the method and
combination of methods used in concert for the assessment of thermal environments in vehicles will depend
upon the context and vehicle environment of interest. This part of ISO 14505 provides both principles and
application of methods for the assessment of thermal comfort in vehicle environments using human subjects.
The most appropriate methods for evaluating thermal comfort in vehicles are subjective. The principles for the
construction of subjective assessment scales are given in ISO 10551 and are used in the development of the
test method specified in this part of ISO 14505. Physiological measurements on human subjects are
described in ISO 9886 and are beyond the scope of this part of ISO 14505.
This part of ISO 14505 complements standards concerned with the ergonomics of thermal environments and
in particular can be used together with thermal indices that are valid for use in vehicle environments.
