Overview

ISO 9259:1991/Amd 1:2001 is an important amendment to the international standard ISO 9259:1991, focusing on passenger cars' windscreen wiper systems. This amendment specifically addresses the wiper arm-to-blade connections, ensuring standardized dimensions and compatibility for wiper arm hooks and blade attachments. Developed by ISO Technical Committee ISO/TC 22, Subcommittee SC 3 (Electrical and Electronic Equipment), it provides revised specifications that improve interchangeability and performance consistency of wiper systems on passenger vehicles.

This standard amendment updates the dimensional requirements for various common types of wiper arm hooks (A1, A2, A3, A4, A5), providing detailed measurements to optimize the fit and function of wiper blades. By unifying critical dimensions and connection methods, it supports automotive safety and reliability.

Key Topics

  • Wiper Arm-to-Blade Connection Types
    The standard specifies five types of hook connections (A1 to A5), each with nominal dimensions tailored for different vehicle designs. These include parameters such as hook width, thickness, locking tab slots, and articulation axes.

  • Dimensional Specifications
    Revised tables and illustrations detail exact measurements in millimeters, such as the hook width (ranging from 8 mm to 12 mm), thickness, and the geometry of locking mechanisms. These dimensions ensure proper fit and secure attachment of blades to arms.

  • Illustrations and Design Details
    Updated figures depict wiper arm hooks with key features like articulation axes, locking slots, and centering rings, guiding manufacturers and suppliers in product design.

  • Removal of Type B2 References
    This amendment excludes the type B2 hook from the standard, streamlining the range of recognized connection types and focusing on widely used models.

Applications

ISO 9259:1991/Amd 1:2001 is essential for automotive manufacturers, wiper system suppliers, and aftermarket parts producers. Practical applications include:

  • Automotive Design and Manufacturing
    Vehicle OEMs utilize the standard dimensions to design wiper arms that are compatible with standardized blades, ensuring safety and ease of maintenance.

  • Replacement Parts Compatibility
    Suppliers of replacement wiper blades rely on these specifications to produce products that fit various vehicle models without modification.

  • Quality Assurance
    Standardized dimensions aid quality control processes, reducing the likelihood of installation errors, poor blade performance, or premature wear due to mismatched connections.

  • Global Market Alignment
    Harmonization under ISO facilitates international trade and compatibility of wiper components across regions and brands.

Related Standards

  • ISO 3903 - Road vehicles - Windscreen wiper systems - Test methods
    Complements ISO 9259 by detailing performance and durability testing methodologies for wiper systems.

  • ISO 8767 - Road vehicles - Windscreen wiper blades and inserts - Dimensions and testing
    Focuses on blade dimensions and testing for efficient windshield clearing and safety.

  • ISO/TC 22 - Road Vehicles Technical Committees
    Broader standards covering various automotive system components including electrical and electronic equipment related to vehicle safety and comfort.

By adhering to ISO 9259:1991/Amd 1:2001, automotive industry stakeholders ensure that windscreen wiper systems maintain high performance and reliability through standardized arm-to-blade connections. This leads to improved driver visibility, enhanced road safety, and streamlined international compatibility for wiper components.
