ISO/TC 22/SC 35 - Lighting and visibility

This document specifies a method for determining the resistance of a glazing surface to abrasion by a wiper rubber under the influence of a standardized test dust suspension.

This document specifies test methods and requirements for anti-fog coating of the exterior lighting devices of road vehicles.

This document specifies test methods to determine the luminous, the direct and total solar transmittance, and the colorimetry of safety glazing materials for road vehicles. This document applies to monolithic or laminated, clear or tinted samples of safety glazing materials. Essentially flat sections of glazing parts can be used in this test, as well as flat samples of the same materials.

This document gives minimum safety, ergonomic, and performance requirements for Camera Monitor Systems to replace mandatory inside and outside rearview mirrors for road vehicles (e.g. classes I to IV as defined in UN Regulation No. 46). It addresses Camera Monitor Systems (CMS) that will be used in road vehicles to present the required outside information of a specific field of view inside the vehicle. These specifications are intended to be independent of different camera and display technologies unless otherwise stated explicitly. Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), such as parking aids, are not part of this document. NOTE 1 Mirror classes V and VI (as defined in UN Regulation No. 46) are not in scope of this document since the requirements are already defined in UN Regulation No. 46. NOTE 2 The definitions and requirements in this document are formulated with regard to a system structure, where one camera captures one legally prescribed field of view and one monitor displays one legally prescribed field of view. Of course, also other system structures (e.g. with one monitor displaying two legally prescribed fields of view) are within the scope of this document. For those systems, either the system supplier or the vehicle manufacturer has to prove that the resulting system fulfils the requirements given in Clause 6. NOTE 3 Whenever the phrases "field of view" or "field of vision" are used, then both have the same meaning and are to be used in parallel.

ISO 15082:2016 specifies commonly used test methods relating to the safety requirements for rigid plastic safety glazing materials in a road vehicle, regardless of the type of plastic of which they are composed.

ISO 23013:2016 provides test procedures that are designed to assess levels of resistance to forced entry provided by security glazing used in vehicles. Security glazing to be tested shall provide a certain (higher) level of protection against vehicle intrusion than standard safety glazing. This International Standard does not apply to conventional safety glazing material that meets the requirements of international automotive glazing material standards similar, but not limited to ECE R43. This International Standard's goal is to quantify how much resistance can be provided by particular system parts (security glazing with associated part of the car body) against rapid unauthorized entry into vehicles. The test methods used have been designed more to simulate opportunist theft attacks using simple implements, which could be easily carried about a person rather than by "calculated theft" using specialist tools which a professional thief might use. That range of tools is limited to hand-held and non-powered instruments that could physically provide access to a vehicle.

ISO 17449:2015 This provides the test methods and acceptance criteria for circuit continuity and heating power, driving visibility, electrical attachment bond performance, electrical attachment bending performance, hot spot identification and heating uniformity, defrosting efficiency, high voltage durability, low temperature performance and long term humidity durability, for all electrically heated safety glazing materials in a road vehicle. This International Standard provides test protocols for the static performance of an electrically heated glazing material; it is not representative of in-vehicle performance.

ISO 3537:2015 specifies mechanical test methods relating to the safety requirements for all safety glazing materials in a road vehicle, whatever the type of glass or other material of which they are composed.

ISO 4513:2010 establishes the location of drivers' eyes inside a vehicle. Elliptical (eyellipse) models in three dimensions are used to represent tangent cut-off percentiles of driver eye locations. Procedures are provided to construct 95th and 99th percentile tangent cut-off eyellipses for a 50/50 gender mix, adult user population. Neck pivot, P, points are defined to establish specific left and right eye points for direct and indirect viewing tasks described in SAE J1050. These P points are defined only for adjustable seat eyellipses. ISO 4513:2010 applies to Class A vehicles (passenger cars, multipurpose passenger vehicles and light trucks) as defined in SAE J1100. It also applies to Class B vehicles (heavy trucks).

ISO 4148:2004 specifies the dimensions of special warning lamps for road vehicles, in order to ensure interchangeability and accurate positioning, bearing in mind the rapid change of light intensity from such devices in a vertical cross-section of the projected beam. It also specifies methods for testing magnetic-base-mountings used to install special warning lamps directly on the steel sheet of the roof or body of a vehicle.
