ISO/TC 22/SC 36/WG 1 - Car collision test procedures

ISO/TR 17950:2016 specifies the conditions for the recommended placement of the Hybrid III 5th percentile female frontal impact dummy (HIII5F) when used in forward-facing outboard 2nd row rear seating positions of passenger cars (M Category) for frontal impact testing . For example: - Frontal Impact 0° and Pole (ISO 3560) - Frontal Impact Offset Deformable Barrier (ISO 15828)

ISO 14513:2016 specifies a test method to simulate the head impact of an adult pedestrian to the bonnet top of passenger vehicles or light truck vehicles of up to 3,5 t (GVM), as defined in ISO 3833. The impact device to be used in this test method will be robust for a vehicle impact velocity of up to 11 m/s. The test method specified addresses the reduction of an adult pedestrian head injury risk; it does not test for injuries to other regions of the pedestrian. The evaluation of injury risk to other pedestrian body regions is to be determined using other test methods. This test method does not consider downward pitching of the vehicle due to pre-impact braking. This test method and the corresponding HIC measurement utilizes a free flight head form impactor and does not consider the kinematics of the pedestrian body as a whole, nor does it consider the subsequent post-impact kinematics and potential injury risk. NOTE The test method covers an adult pedestrian head in a simulated impact with a motorized road vehicle. Research suggests vehicle safety improvements in vehicle derived from such pedestrian impact tests may be beneficial also to bicyclists in vehicle front impact.

ISO/TR 14645:2015 describes dummies, procedures, and configurations that can be used to investigate the interactions that occur between a deploying air bag and a Child Restraint System (CRS) that would have been considered properly installed and used in the outer and centre front passenger positions. Static tests can be used to sort CRS/air bag interaction on a comparative basis in either an actual or a simulated vehicle environment. Systems that appear to warrant further testing can be subjected to an appropriate dynamic test at a speed near that needed to deploy an air bag or at a higher speed commonly used to evaluate CRS performance. No test matrix is specified at this time for evaluating either a CRS or an air bag during interaction with each other. Instead, engineering judgment based on prior experience with CRS and/or air bag testing should be used in selecting the tests to be conducted with each individual system. Such tests can be aimed not only at producing interactions with the most severe results but also at identifying those conditions that produce the least interaction and/or satisfactory CRS performance results. Baseline tests to indicate the performance of a CRS in the absence of air bag deployment are also recommended for comparison purposes.

ISO/TR 10982:2013 outlines a number of test procedures that can be used for investigating the interactions that could occur between the deploying air bag and the occupant who is near the module at the time of deployment. Static and dynamic tests to investigate both driver and passenger systems are described. Comparative evaluation of the designs can be conducted using static tests. Favourable systems may be evaluated, if deemed necessary, by appropriate dynamic tests.

ISO 3560:2013 specifies a general frontal test procedure for impact on fixed barrier or pole. There are several applicable test configurations, some with specific test procedures. ISO 3560:2013 describes general testing requirements for conducting accurate and uniform frontal testing.

ISO 15829:2013 specifies dynamic side impact test procedures with poles for evaluating the effects of the interaction between side airbags and occupants of road vehicles.

ISO 17949:2013 specifies the conditions and requirements for the recommended placement of the WorldSID 50th percentile male side-impact dummy (WS50), as defined in ISO 15830‑1, ISO 15830‑2, ISO 15830‑3, and ISO 15830‑4, when used in front outboard seating positions of motor vehicles for side-impact testing.

ISO/TR 14933:2012 outlines test procedures for evaluating the effects of the interactions between deploying side air bags (SAB) and vehicle occupants. ISO/TR 14933:2012 describes dummies, procedures, instrumentation and test configurations that can be used for investigating the interactions that occur between a deploying side air bag and a vehicle occupant in front and rear seats.

ISO/TS 15827:2007 describes test procedures for evaluating the effects of the interactions between driver frontal airbags or side airbags (excluding curtains) and small female arms. It recommends dummies, procedures, instrumentation and test configurations that can be used for investigating the interactions that occur between a deploying airbag and a vehicle occupant. Driver frontal airbags deploy from the steering wheel and side airbags can deploy from the door, side trim panel, armrest, seat back or seat cushion. Occupants can range in size from young children to very large adults. However, the small adult female is considered to be the most at risk of arm injury from airbags. Therefore, this test procedure only addresses the small adult female occupant. Recommended measurements are summarized. ISO/TS 15827:2007 encourages the use of a wide range of test configurations and conditions, while recognizing that the range of possible airbag interactions is essentially limitless and beyond testing capability.

ISO 15828:2004 specifies a full scale test procedure for frontal offset deformable barrier impacts, that will ensure such tests are conducted under the same conditions. It is applicable to passenger cars and light trucks as defined in ISO 3833 with dummies in front seat positions.

ISO 7862:2004 specifies a sled test procedure for the evaluation of restraint systems in road vehicles by the simulation of frontal collisions. Its main purposes are to improve test methods for evaluating restraint system efficacy and harmonize existing test methods -- especially to enable the comparison of results of tests carried out in different laboratories. It is applicable to restraint systems used within the structure of a passenger car as defined in ISO 3833. Deviations from its requirements are permitted, provided they have no significant effect on the results of the test.

The sled test procedure described in ISO 17373:2005 simulates low-speed rear-end impact resulting in a velocity change of the struck vehicle of 15 km/h. Its main purpose is the evaluation of the whiplash associated disorders due to seat occupant interactions with seat systems during the loading phase under standard conditions.

ISO 3984:2004 specifies a rear moving barrier impact test procedure for road vehicles, with the purpose of ensuring that such tests are conducted under the same conditions.

Describes a full scale test method for side impact testing of passenger cars as defined in ISO 3833 with deformable moving barrier. Is intended to facilitate uniform testing at different test facilities.
