4 Complete vehicle requirements
4.1 General
4.1.1 Each habitable compartment shall be equipped with a ventilator with a vent meeting the requirements for the minimum safe and free area of ventilation specified in Clause 5.
4.1.2 A leisure accommodation vehicle will be considered to meet the requirements of 4.1.1 if it has been subjected to the test for safe and free area of ventilation according to Clause 6, the test result meets the judgment requirements and a permanent label is posted next to the open-flame appliance. The content of the label shall meet those specified in Annex A.
4.1.3 The ventilator shall meet the following requirements:
a) renewing air for occupants;
b) providing air for combustion in non-room-sealed appliance in the vehicle;
c) conveying the products of combustion of flueless appliance to the exterior of the vehicle;
d) providing necessary ventilation for the installed electrical appliance.
4.1.4 If the free area of ventilation is reduced while the vehicle is in motion, the ventilator shall be automatically restored to meet the requirements of Clause 5 or 6 when the vehicle is stopped and the engine is shut down.
4.1.5 In order to ensure occupation safety, the following points shall be particularly emphasized in the vehicle operating instructions:
a) the vent shall not be wholly or partially blocked under any circumstances;
