ISO 8936:2017 is not applicable to:

a) sun awnings: structure detachable from the vehicle which is used to provide shelter from the sun, but is not designed or constructed to provide shelter from wind, rain or snow;

NOTE 1 A sun awning can be used with additional front and side panels to form an enclosure, but this enclosure would not meet the requirements of an awning as defined in this document.

b) external blinds: structure permanently fixed to a vehicle which is used to provide shelter from the sun, but is not designed or constructed to provide shelter from wind, rain or snow;

NOTE 2 An external blind can be used with additional front and side panels to form an enclosure, but this enclosure would not meet the requirements of an awning as defined in this document.

c) fixed awnings: permanent awning which is not designed for mobile use.

EXAMPLE Awnings equipped with square aluminium frames or timber supporting structures and the possibility to install living compartment windows and doors.

NOTE Pour les auvents de caravane, voir l'ISO 8936.

This document describes a method for the assessment of performance in steady-state conditions of a sleeping bag with regard to the protection against cold.

NOTE 1    Sleeping bags without homogeneous fillings designed to provide local extra insulation in certain parts pose issues with the calibration and/or test procedure. Ongoing work continues to provide suitable means of establishing temperature ratings.

This document does not apply to sleeping bags intended for specific purpose such as military use and extreme climate zone expedition. It does not apply to sleeping bags for children or babies.

NOTE 2    No prediction model exists for the determination of the limiting temperatures based on the thermal resistance of the sleeping bag for children and babies. Moreover, such a model for testing cannot be developed because the necessary controlled sleep trials with children or babies in climatic chambers are, out of ethical reasons, not possible.

ISO 23537-2:2016 ne s'applique pas aux sacs de couchage à usage spécifique, comme ceux destinés à un usage militaire ou utilisés dans le cadre d'expéditions dans des conditions climatiques extrêmes. Elle ne s'applique pas non plus aux sacs de couchage pour enfants ou bébés (appelés gigoteuses).

NOTE Il n'existe pas de modèle de prévision pour la détermination des températures limites reposant sur la résistance thermique des sacs de couchage pour enfants et bébés (gigoteuses). En outre, un tel modèle en taille autre qu'adulte ne peut pas être développé car les essais de sommeil contrôlé nécessaires ne sont pas permis pour des raisons éthiques avec des enfants ou des bébés dans des enceintes climatiques.
