Scope

This part of GB/T 40261 gives the guidelines for evaluating the thermal comfort of vehicles with subjects, and specifies a standard test method. This section establishes the general principles of thermal environment assessment and evaluation, not limited to any specific means of transport. The methods specified in this standard are used for the development and evaluation of vehicles, based on whether they can provide thermal comfort to people, to determine the performance of vehicles under conditions of concern. This section applies to various types of vehicles, including cars, buses, trucks, off-road vehicles, trains, aircraft, ships, submarines, crane cockpits and similar spaces. Applicable when people are enclosed in vehicles and exposed to the outside environment. For people exposed to external conditions, such as cyclists and motorcycle riders, convertible car drivers, and operators of forklift trucks without a cab, vehicle speed and weather dominate the body's response. The evaluation principles of this section also apply. This section applies to vehicle passengers and operators whose application does not affect the safe operation of the vehicle. This section establishes the principles of thermal comfort assessment and evaluation, including the use of test methods and subject experiments. At the same time, this section also provides a subjective method for evaluating thermal environment comfort. This part belongs to the basic ergonomics standards and contributes to the development of standards related to specific vehicles and products.
