Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (IS0
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0 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. IS0 collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (I EC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft Int e rnational Standards adopted by the technical co mmittees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
nternationa I Standar .d requi res approval by at least 75 % of the
Publicati 0 n as an I me mber bodies casting a vote.
This part of IS0 13232 was prepared by Technical Committee lSO/TC 22, Road vehicles, Subcommittee SC 22,
Motorcycles.
At the request of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, Group for Road Vehicle General Safety
(UN/ECE/TRANS/SCI/WP29/GRSG), this International Standard has been prepared by lSO/rC 22/SC 22,
Motorcycles, as eight interrelated parts, on the basis of original working documents submitted by the International
Motorcycle Manufacturers Association (IMMA).
This is the first version of the standard.
IS0 13232 consists of the following parts, under the general title Motorcycles - Test and analysis procedures for
research evaluation of rider crash protective devices fitted to motorcycles:

Introduction
This International Standard 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 motor
cycles and intended for the crash protection of riders, have on injuries, when assessed over a range of impact
conditions based on accident data.
It is intended that the methods and recommendations contained in this International Standard 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 this International
Standard, a clear explanation of how the procedures used differ from the basic methodology should be provided.

Part 5:
Injury indices and risk/benefit analysis
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the minimum requirements for research into the feasibility of protective devices
fitted to motor cycles, which are intended to protect the rider in the event of a collision.
This International Standard is applicable to impact tests involving
- two wheeled motor cycles;
- the specified type of opposing vehicle;
- either a stationary and a moving vehicle or two moving vehicles;
- for any moving vehicle, a steady speed and straight line motion immediately prior to impact;
- one helmeted dummy in a normal seating position on an upright motor cycle;
- the measurement of the potential for specified types of injury, by body region;
- evaluation of the results of paired impact tests (i.e., comparisons between motor cycles fitted and not
fitted with the proposed devices).
This part of IS0 13232 provides
- performance indices which can be correlated with human injuries;
- formulae which relate injury indices to probable injury cost;
- a consistent means of interpreting impact test results;
- a means of relating the results obtained from film analysis and instrumentation of the dummy to injuries
sustained in accidents;
- a means of assessing both the combined and relative effects of multiple injuries;
- an objective means of quantifying injury cost using a single index;
- a means of verifying the analysis;
- a means of doing risk/benefit analysis of protective devices fitted to motor cycles, based upon the
population of impact conditions identified in IS0 13232-2.
In order to apply this International Standard properly, it is strongly recommended that all eight parts be used
together, particularly if the results are to be published.

procedures described
NOTE 1 - The term “cost” is used in this subclause in a specific and limited sense, and for test comparison
purposes only (see def 3.5.7 of IS0 13232-l for specific cost definitions). The “costs,” as used here,
represent average costs based on a simplified model of samples of bioeconomic data; collected over a
particular time period and region; and for a limited range of specific injury types, severities, and body regions,
which may be monitored in crash tests, and which can exclude the majority of the types, severities, and
locations of human body injuries, and some types of cost components. In no way do such injury costs
consider, nor are they intended to consider, the market level costs of a proposed protective device. The
“costs” described herein are only intended to provided a convenient, common basis for combining and
comparing across body regions and crash tests and on a relative basis, different types, locations, and
severities of injuries. For the foregoing reasons, such costs have limited applicability and are not intended nor
appropriate for calculating, for example, the actual cost of a specific real accident, or the total societal or
economic cost of a given device or design.
In addition, for head protective device research, the neck injury indices for shear, tension, compression, f lexion,
ex tension, and torsio n shall be calcula ted using the procedures described in 5.9.
NOTE 2 - Extreme caution should be used in interpreting the neck injury indices. Evaluation of neck loads is
considered to be crucial for head protective device research. However, the critical force and moment values
given in the denominators in 5.9 are based on an extrapolation of the Hybrid Ill injury assessment curves, in
order to represent the possible neck strength of the target population.
In addition, the Hybrid Ill neck and
injury assessment curves were developed for fore/aft inertial loading of the head, and not for oblique, direct
loading and displacement of the head, which can occur in motor cycle impact testing. In addition, cadaver
based research suggests that the critical loads specified in 5.9 might be too large; whereas some full-scale test
and computer simulation research suggests they might be too small, in comparison to the observed frequency
of neck injury in motor cycle accident data. It is unknown the extent to which the source of such uncertainty
may be shortcomings in the dummy neck biofidelity for specific types of loading; in the measurement method;
or in the injury indices (e.g., due to the time dependency or type of loading); and this can only be resolved
through further research.
4.5 Risk/benefit analysis
Any risk/benefit analysis of a proposed rider crash protective device fitted to a motor cycle, which forms a part of
the overall evaluation described in IS0 13232-2 or which may be used to identify potential failure modes of a
proposed device for purposes of further testing, shall use the methods described in 5.10.
