ISO 5897:1998 PDF

Scope: This International Standard specifies a test method for passenger car (as defined in ISO 3833) rear-window demisting systems, when these are fitted. It does not specify reference areas or levels of performance, since at the time it was prepared there was insufficient data available. NOTE — It may be possible to carry out tests of a similar nature on windscreen and rear-window simultaneously. The test method is intended for types of power-driven vehicles which do not differ from one another with respect to the following essential features which affect demisting performance: a) shape, size and surface characteristics of the rear-window; b) characteristics of each system designated by the vehicle manufacturer as contributing to the demisting of the rear-window; c) number of seats as designated by the vehicle manufacturer.
