ISO 14505-3:2006给出了使用人体受试者评估车辆热舒适性的指南和标准试验方法。它不限于任何特定的车辆，但提供了允许评估和评估的一般原则。该方法可用于确定车辆在相关条件下的性能指标，即车辆是否能为人们提供热舒适性。这可用于车辆开发和评估。 ISO 14505-3:2006适用于所有类型的车辆，包括轿车、公共汽车、卡车、越野车- 道路车辆、火车、飞机、轮船、潜艇，以及起重机舱和类似空间。它适用于人员被封闭在车辆内以及暴露在外部条件下的情况。对于那些暴露在外部条件下的人，如自行车或摩托车驾驶员、开放式跑车驾驶员和无驾驶室叉车操作员，车速和天气条件可能会主导反应。然而，评估的原则仍然适用。 ISO 14505-3:2006适用于不影响车辆安全运行的乘客和车辆操作员。

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.
