6.4.3.2 The requirements specified in Clause 7 of EN 13129-1:2002 shall be verified by changing the position of the temperature setting device from the normal position to the maximum and minimum position. 6.4.3.3 In order to be able to check the behaviour of the regulation and see how the temperatures in the particular compartments vary, it is recommended to set 20 % to 30 % of the compartments at the maximum and the remainder at the minimum. The same check shall be made with 70 % to 80 % of the temperature setting devices at the maximum position and the remainder at minimum. 6.4.3.4 To check the effect of occupation, total or partial, on the regulation system, tests with a simulated occupation shall be carried out in accordance with 10.2. 6.4.3.5 The tests carried out in the presence of wind are intended to check the behaviour of the air conditioning installation and the tightness of the vehicle body, as well as the behaviour of the exhaust air outlets. 6.4.3.6 In order to verify the effect of the solar gain on the control system, the first test shall be carried out with a solar exposure of at least 4 h; the balance of tests will then follow the procedure of 6.4.1. 6.4.4 Tests with variable mean exterior temperature (Tem) The regulation tests carried out with a mean exterior temperature (Tem) that decreases or increases by 3 K/h are intended to check the behaviour of the air conditioning installation and its control system during the change over from the cooling mode to the heating mode and vice versa; with and without supplementary disturbance caused by occupation and solar radiation of the vehicle.
