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 3.
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 International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 3832 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 22, Road vehicles, Subcommittee SC 6, Terms and
definitions of dimensions and masses.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 3832:1991), which has been technically revised.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 3832:2002(E)

Passenger cars — Luggage compartments — Method of
measuring reference volume
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a method of measuring the reference volume of the luggage compartments of
passenger cars.
2 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this International Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1
unit module
rectangular parallelepiped, with rounded edges of maximum radius 10 mm and of the dimensions and volume
specified in Table 1

2.2
reference volume of luggage compartment
sum total of the volumes of unit modules that can be placed in a luggage compartment
See clause 3.
NOTE The reference volume, expressed in cubic decimetres, can be used for comparison of different passenger cars (see
clause 5).
3 Procedures
3.1 Measurement of volume of closed luggage compartment without direct connection with
passenger compartment
For vehicles with tailgates (hatchbacks), the parcel-shelf in its normal position defines the upper limit of the
compartment, and the volume may be measured according to this procedure.
The luggage compartment shall contain all fittings installed in production by the car manufacturer (spare wheel,
jack, etc.). Other features, either not installed or only optional, such as first-aid-kit or fire extinguisher, shall not be
considered.
a) Fill the luggage compartment with the number of unit modules representing the largest capacity using unit
modules according to Table 1, as specified by the manufacturer. Piling up of unit modules shall not impede
closing of the compartment.
