Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted
by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights.
ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 13232-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 22, Road vehicles, Subcommittee SC 22, Motorcycles.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first version (ISO 13232-2:1996), which has been technically revised.
ISO 13232 consists of the following parts, under the general title Motorcycles — Test analysis procedures for
research evaluation of rider crash protective devices fitted to motorcycles:
⎯ Part 1: Definitions, symbols and general considerations
⎯ Part 2: Definition of impact conditions in relation to accident data
⎯ Part 3: Motorcyclist anthropometric impact dummy
⎯ Part 4: Variables to be measured, instrumentation and measurement procedures
⎯ Part 5: Injury indices and risk/benefit analysis

ISO 13232-2:2005(E)
Introduction
ISO 13232 has been prepared on the basis of existing technology. Its purpose is to define common research
methods and a means for making an overall evaluation of the effect that devices which are fitted to motorcycles
and intended for the crash protection of riders, have on injuries, when assessed over a range of impact conditions
which are based on accident data.
It is intended that all of the methods and recommendations contained in ISO 13232 should be used in all basic
feasibility research. However, researchers should also consider variations in the specified conditions (for example,
rider size) when evaluating the overall feasibility of any protective device. In addition, researchers may wish to vary
or extend elements of the methodology in order to research issues which are of particular interest to them. In all
such cases which go beyond the basic research, if reference is to be made to ISO 13232, a clear explanation of
how the used procedures differ from the basic methodology should be provided.
ISO 13232 was prepared by ISO/TC 22/SC 22 at the request of the United Nations Economic Commission for
Europe Group for Road Vehicle General Safety (UN/ECE/TRANS/SCI/WP29/GRSG), based on original working
documents submitted by the International Motorcycle Manufacturers Association (IMMA), and comprising eight
interrelated parts.
This revision of ISO 13232 incorporates extensive technical amendments throughout all the parts, resulting from
extensive experience with the standard and the development of improved research methods.
In order to apply ISO 13232 properly, it is strongly recommended that all eight parts be used together, particularly if
the results are to be published.

ISO 13232-2:2005(E)
4.2 Standardized accident configurations
Standardized accident configurations shall be used for overall evaluations of rider crash protective devices, for
failure mode and effects analyses of such devices, and for full-scale impact tests intended to verify such analyses.
The standardized accident configurations and corresponding frequencies shown in Annex B, which are the result of
applying the requirements of 4.2.2.1 and clause 5 to the combined accident data listed in Annex C, shall be used
for such purposes.
NOTE The accident databases listed in Annex C were the only ones which met the requirements of this part of ISO 13232
and which were made available in a timely way to the group preparing ISO 13232.
4.2.1 Data collection for future revisions
In future revisions of ISO 13232, Annex B may be revised to account for different accident databases which may be
included in Annex C. In this case, the requirements of 4.2 and clause 5, which are also subject to revision, shall be
applied to the contents of Annex C. The results of such revisions to the standardized frequency of injury data, given
in Annex D, along with the resulting frequency of occurrence data, given in Annex B, should be considered in
potential revisions to the full-scale impact configurations, given in 4.3.
4.2.2 Accident sampling
The following impact configurations shall be used in defining impact conditions in relation to accident data.
4.2.2.1 Defining frequency of occurrence of various impact configurations
The accident database for each region shall include at least 200 MC accidents and shall be uniformly sampled data
from all reporting facilities for a given region (i.e., a randomized sample). The samples shall be the result of in-
depth investigations including on-site measurements and reconstructions. The subsample used, as determined in
5.1.1, shall consist only of those accidents involving impacts between motorcycles and passenger cars. The
database shall include all of the impact variables listed in 4.1 and A.1 and shall be available for analysis and
potential publication as part of ISO 13232.
4.2.2.2 Defining frequency of injury of various impact configurations
Additionally, for each accident the following injury data for each injury, as defined in A.2, shall be included:
⎯ injury body region;
⎯ injury type;
⎯ injury severity, as defined by the AAAM abbreviated injury scale (AIS).
The database shall also include the variables listed in A.3 and should include the variables listed in A.4.

The impact configuration code shall comprise a series of three digits describing the OV contact point, the MC
contact point, and relative heading angle, respectively, as generally defined in Figures 2, 3, and 4 and Table 2,
followed by a hyphen (-), the OV impact speed, and the MC impact speed.
For OV corner contact (e.g., configuration 225-0/13,4 of Figure 1) the reference point on the MC shall be the most
outboard structural element on the MC front unsprung assembly.
For testing purposes, the impact geometry may be reflected about the OV centre line (e.g., E45 instead of 225).
4.3.2 Permissible configurations from failure mode and effects analysis
Other impact configurations for which a proposed rider crash protective device might be harmful may be identified
through computer simulation according to ISO 13232-7, or other analysis techniques, by analysing those
configurations listed in Annex B. These failure mode configurations may be tested in order to verify the results of
such analysis.
For full-scale tests and computer simulations, the impact geometries shall be as shown in Figures 1 and B.1, with
the following general rules:
⎯ OV corner contact points shall be the 45° tangent points, as shown in Figure 1;
⎯ OV front and rear contact points shall be at the centre line of the OV;
⎯ OV side front, side middle, and side rear contact points shall be the points corresponding to 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 of
the overall length of the OV, respectively, as measured from the foremost point on the OV;
⎯ MC front contact point shall be such that the projection of the MC centre line, forward of the foremost part of
the front wheel, at first contact between any portion of the MC or dummy and the OV, intersects a vertical line
through the specified OV contact point;
⎯ MC rear contact point shall be such that the projection of the MC centre line, rearward of the rearmost part of
the rear wheel, at first contact between any portion of the MC or dummy and the OV, intersects a vertical line
through the specified OV contact point;
⎯ MC side contact shall use the conventions given in 4.3.1 and shown in Figure 1 (i.e., for OV front or rear
contact use the 143-9,8/0 type of geometry; for OV corner contact use the 225-0/13,4 type of geometry);
⎯ The relative heading angles shall be at the nominal values defined in Table 2 and Figure 4.

5.1.1 Sub-sample definition
Combine the databases listed in Annex C. From the combined, overall database, select all of the cases which have
all of these conditions:
⎯ passenger car impact;
⎯ single rider;
⎯ seated rider.
5.1.2 Categorization
For each case selected in 5.1.1, and for each impact variable, determine within which cell range the case lies and
assign code numbers for the OV and MC contact points and relative heading angle, and nominal values for the OV
and MC speeds, based on Tables 2 and 3 and Figures 2, 3, and 5.
5.1.3 Sorting
Sort all the subsample accident data into a matrix describing the combinations of the above cells. Determine the
number of accidents which lie within the boundaries of each of the cells.
If the OV contact point involves the left side of the OV, then reclassify the OV and MC contact points and relative
heading angle according to Table 4. In addition, reclassify all accidents that occur in the sorted geometry codes to
the reclassified geometry codes as listed in Table 5, in order to resolve minor inconsistencies which may be
present in the original accident data.

Remove all accidents in the cells listed in Table 6 which, as a result of categorization, correspond to untestable
configurations.
5.1.4 Representation
Associate the number of accidents (frequency of occurrence) in each cell with the OV and MC contact point codes,
relative heading angle codes, and OV and MC speed nominal values which will be considered to represent each
cell.
