Foreword
Chapters 4 and 5 of this Standard are mandatory, while others are
recommended.
This Standard was drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This Standard replaces GB 15085-1994 Motor vehicles - Windshield wipers and
washer systems - Performance requirements and test methods and GB 11565-
1989 Passenger cars - Windshield wipers - Wiped areas. This Standard is
mainly based on GB 15085-1994, and integrates the contents of GB 11565-
1989. Compared with GB 11565-1989, the major technical changes, except the
editorial modification, are as follows.
The major differences between this Standard and GB 15085-1994.
— ADD the “180° forward field of vision of the drivers” (SEE Chapter 1).
— ADD the definitions of the following nouns. “windscreen-wiper system”,
“sweep cycle”, “transparent area of a windscreen” and “windscreen-
washer system” (SEE Sections 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 3.13).
— ADD the content of “Determination of areas A and B” (SEE Section 4.1.2).
— ADD the content of Section 4.1.9. MAKE modification and supplement to
Section 4.1.3.
— ADD the Annex A (informative).
The major differences between this Standard and GB 11565-1989.
— DELETE the “Major instruments and equipment” (SEE Section 5.1 of GB
11565-1989).
— MODIFY the expressions in the “Field measuring methods” (SEE
Sections 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 3.13). For the contents that are same as the
previous contents in this Standard, directly QUOTE the standard’s clause
numbers. MODIFY the content of Section 5.4.4. MODIFY the “... Under
the circumstance that the wind cannot directly blow to the windscreen,
evenly SPRAY a thin layer of dry medical talcum powder on the outer
surface of the windscreen.” to “... Evenly COAT the outer surface of the
windscreen with a layer of test mixture specified in Annex B. WAIT for
drying.” [SEE Sections 5.3.3 a) and 5.3.3 c) as well as Sections 5.4.1,
5.4.2 and 5.4.4 of the 1989 edition].
Motor vehicles - Windscreen wiper and washer systems -
Performance requirements and test methods
1 Scope
This Standard specifies the terms and definitions, performance requirements
and test methods for the windscreen wiper and washer systems of motor
vehicles, including the method for measuring the sweep field of the windscreen
wiper.
This Standard is applicable to the 180° forward field of vision of the drivers of
vehicles in Category M1.

systems - Performance requirements and test methods
3 Terms and definitions
The following terms and definitions are applicable to this document.
3.1 Wiper blade
It is equipped with the wiping component used for sweeping the outer surface
of the windscreen.
3.2 Sweep field
It refers to the area that can be swept by the wiper blade within the specific
range of the outer surface of the windscreen.
3.3 Actual sweep field
It refers to the position specified by the motor vehicle manufacturer, where the
wash fluid is jetted to on the outer surface of the windscreen.
3.13 Windscreen-washer system
It refers to the device storing and jetting fluid onto the outer surface of the
windscreen, and the control system necessary for starting and stopping the
device.
4 Performance requirements
4.1 Performance requirements of the windscreen-wiper system
4.1.1 Each vehicle shall be equipped with at least one automatic windscreen-
wiper system. The automatic windscreen-wiper system refers to a system which
is able to function without any action by the driver other than that needed for
starting and stopping the windscreen wiper when the vehicle’s engine is running.
4.1.2 The sweep field of the windscreen wiper shall at least cover 98% of area
A and 80% of area B determined according to the relevant provisions of Chapter
4 in GB 11555-2009.
4.1.3 The windscreen wiper shall have at least two sweep frequencies.
a) one of not less than 45 cycles/min;
b) one of not less than 10 and not greater than 55 cycles/min; and
c) the difference between the highest and at least one of the lower sweep
frequencies shall not be less than 15 cycles/min.
4.1.4 The sweep frequencies referred to in Section 4.1.3 shall be achieved as
set out in Sections 5.1.1 to 5.1.3 and 5.1.5.
4.1.5 Intermittent operation windscreen-wiper system may be used for the
purposes of complying with the requirements of Section 4.1.3, provided that
one of the frequencies complies with the requirements of Section 4.1.3 a), and
that one of the other frequencies obtained when the main frequency is
interrupted is not less than 10 cycles/min.
4.1.6 When the windscreen-wiper system is stopped by the use of the
windscreen-wiper control system, the wiper blades shall automatically return to
their initial positions.
4.2.4 The capacity of the reservoir containing the wash fluid shall not be less
than 1L.
5 Test methods
5.1 Windscreen-wiper system
5.1.1 Unless otherwise specified, the tests described shall be carried out
under the following conditions.
a) The ambient temperature shall not be less than 10°C or greater than 40°C;
b) The windscreen shall be kept constantly wet;
c) The battery voltage shall not be less than the rated voltage without exceeding
