Introduction

In-depth interpretation of GB/T 36608.2—2018 Ergonomic Technical Requirements and Evaluation Standards for Household Air Conditioners

1. Background and significance of standard formulation

With the rapid development of the household appliance industry, air conditioners are important household appliances, and their design and performance directly affect user experience and quality of life. The formulation of GB/T 36608.2—2018 standard aims to standardize the ergonomic technical requirements of air conditioners and ensure that the products achieve the best use effect in terms of thermal comfort, user interface and intelligent system.

This standard was proposed and coordinated by the National Technical Committee for Ergonomics Standardization, and the main drafting units include China National Institute of Standardization, Qingdao Haier Air Conditioner Co., Ltd. and other enterprises and research institutions. The implementation of the standard will effectively improve the product quality and technical level of air conditioners and promote the healthy development of the industry.

3. Interpretation of core technical requirements

3.1 Thermal comfort requirements

Thermal comfort is an important indicator for air conditioner design, mainly involving the following key parameters:

  • Temperature fluctuation: The temperature variation within a certain period of time after the indoor environment reaches stability.
  • Temperature uniformity: The temperature difference between different measuring points at the same time.
  • Vertical air temperature difference: The air temperature difference comfort in the vertical direction.
  • Draught Index (DR): The percentage of people dissatisfied due to airflow.

3.2 User Interface Requirements

User interface design directly affects user experience. Specific requirements include:

  • Display interface: Brightness contrast and color contrast conform to visual habits, and text and graphic symbols are clear and easy to understand.
  • Control buttons: High differentiation, commonly used buttons are placed in the best control area, and function labels are clear.
  • Layout design: Display and control information are arranged logically and clearly, and display and control functions correspond to each other.

3.3 Ergonomic requirements for intelligent systems

Intelligent system design should have the following capabilities:

  • Self-perception: Detect abnormal status of equipment and provide feedback.
  • Self-judgment: Automatically adjust temperature parameters according to the environment and user characteristics.
  • Adaptive: Learn user habits and optimize operation mode.

4. Implementation suggestions

4.1 Enterprise R&D and production links

Enterprises should focus on thermal comfort indicators and user interface optimization during the product design stage to ensure that standard requirements are met. At the same time, the development of intelligent systems needs to focus on user experience and improve adaptive capabilities.

4.2 Third-party testing agencies

Testing agencies should conduct professional technical testing and user experience evaluation in strict accordance with standard requirements to ensure the accuracy and fairness of the evaluation results. It is recommended to establish a long-term tracking mechanism to continuously improve product performance.

4.3 User Education and Feedback

Manufacturers should strengthen user guidance and improve users’ understanding and operation capabilities of air conditioner functions through instructions, video tutorials, etc. At the same time, users are encouraged to provide feedback on their experience and provide data support for product optimization.
