Extend both upper limbs of the dummy upward vertically as far as possible, then extend both lower legs together with both thighs horizontally forward as far as possible with both foot-joints forming 90°. Allow the dummy to float slightly above the seating surface of the apparatus body, contact the square flat plate of 100cm’ in area with the dummy’s lower abdomen and apply a force of 177N to the flat plate as perpendicular to the surface of the seat back of the seat for test as possible. Thereafter, remove(a) fe) (4.4) (a) (b) (©), @) (e) 15 D 0401-1996 the force, naturally take down the dummy onto the seating surface of the apparatus body to seat it without changing its posture as far as possible, and applying the flat plate to the central part of its chest, exert the same force on it from the same direction as before. When the belt for child is provided, adjust the dummy in accordance with (4.1) (b). Move both upper limbs and both lower limbs of the dummy downward in parallel with the central vertical section of the dummy until parts of both upper limbs and both lower limbs contact the apparatus body or the surface of the seat for test, For the seat for school child, the operation shall be as follows: ‘Adjusting the central vertical section of the dummy's head to the central vertical section of the apparatus body, and seat the dummy in the sitting position in the apparatus body. Extend both upper limbs of the dummy upward vertically as far as possible, then extend both lower legs together with both thighs horizontally forward as far as possible with both foot-joints forming 90°. In the test using, the 3point type seat belt with an emergency locking winder, if there is no seat back, insert a flat plate of 25mm. in thickness, 100mm in width and 300mm in length between the seat back of the seat for test and the dummy's back, and if there is a seat back, insert it between the seat back and dummy's back. Thereafter, allow the dummy to float slightly above the seating surface of the apparatus body, contact the square flat plate of 100cm* in area with the dummy’s lower abdomen and apply a force of 177N to the flat plate as perpendicular to the surface of the seat back of the seat for test as possible. Thereafter, remove the force, naturally take down the dummy onto the seating surface of the apparatus body to seat it without changing its posture as far as possible, apply the flat plate to the central part of its chest and exert the same force on it from the same direction as before. Thereafter put the seat belt on the dummy and position its both upper limbs and both lower limbs in accordance with (4.4) (e), and then remove the flat plate from the back of the dummy. For the test using the 2-point type seat belt, allow the dummy to float slightly above the seating surface of the apparatus body, contact the regular square flat plate 100cm* in area with dummy's lower abdomen and apply a force of IT7N to the flat plate as perpendicular to the surface of the seat back of the seat for test as possible. Thereafter, remove the force, naturally take down the dummy onto the seating surface of the apparatus body to seat it without changing its posture as far as possible, contact the flat plate with the central part of its chest and apply the same force from the same direction as before, ‘Thereafter, let the dummy put on the seat belt, insert a rubber plate between the dummy and the webbings on both sides of the waist approximately 50mm apart from the vertical center line of the dummy, fasten the belt with a tension of 53N to 67N and position both upper limbs and both lower limbs of the dummy in accordance with (4.4) (e), and then remove the rubber plate. Move both upper limbs and both lower limbs of the dummy downward in parallel with the central vertical section of the dummy until parts of both upper limbs and both lower limbs contact the apparatus body or the surface of the seat for test.16 D 0401-1996 6.8.3 Tests After the preparation for a test in accordance with the method given in 6.8.2, the test shall be carried out under the following conditions: (1) The speed, and the acceleration or deceleration of the truck shall be as follows: (a) ‘The truck speed shall be 50_)km/h, (b) The waveform of acceleration or deceleration of the truck shall be within the hatehed area given in Attached Fig. 4. (2) The behaviors of the dummy and the restraint shall be observed during the test and, when the dummy of ISkg in nominal mass is used, the acceleration at the head and the chest shall be measured. (3) After the test, the test for releasing force of the buckle shall be carried out in accordance with (2) of 6.7.3, and the state of occurrence of destruction, harmful crack, deformation, etc. on each part of the restraints shall be examined after that. 6.8.4 Test record The following items shall be recorded: (1) Collision speed of truck (2) ‘The waveform of acceleration or deceleration and the maximum acceleration or deceleration of the truck (3) The waveforms of the accelerations in triaxial directions and those of the resultant acceleration at the head and the chest gravity center of the dummy of 15kg in nominal mass, the maximum resultant acceleration, and the duration in the case of exceeding the maximum permissible value (4) The behavior and displacement distance of the dummy and the maximum inclination of the restraint (9) Releasing force of the buckle (6) Existence or nonexistence of damage, harmful crack, deformation and so on of the restraint (1) Type of the seat belts (8) Type of the testing apparatus (9) Manufacturer's name, type, and actual mass of the dummy 7, Designation The restraints shall be designated by type and grade or by type symbol and grade. Example 1, Seat for infant W2 or Y ~W2 Example 2. Seat for school child W3+W4 or G~W3+ W4 8. Marking The restraints shall be indelibly marked with the following details in @ conspicuous place. (1) Type (or type symbol) and grade (2) Applicable body weight of child (3) Attaching method to automobile seat and kinds of seat beltIT D 0401-1996 (4) Manufacturer's name or abbreviation (6) Year of manufacture or its abbreviation (6) Manufacturing number (1) Other necessary details Example 1. Example 2. Example 3. For restraints fitted with auxiliary belt: “This seat for infant shall not be fixed only with an auxiliary belt.” For backward/forward seat for infant: “When using in a backward state, this seat for infant shall be put on the seat not equipped with air bag.” For backward seat for infant: “This seat for infant shall be put on the seat not equipped with air bag.” 9. Instruction manual The restraints shall be accompanied by the instruction manual containing the following items: (1) Kinds of automobiles and shape of seat or kinds of seat belt fit for attaching the restraints (2) Purpose and method of use (3) Measures in emergency (4) Method for prevention of danger Example 1. Example 2. Example 3. Example 4. “The restraint shall be securely fixed with a seat belt even when a child is not seated or laid down. If not fixed, the restraint may jump out in collision and injure a fellow passenger.” “Place this bed for suckling near the central part with the head of suckling on the opposite side of automobile door.” For both backward and forward use seat for infant: “As an infant is likely to be injured by the contact of developed air bag with backward seat, the seat for infant shall be used on the seat not equipped with air bag when using in a backward state.” For backward seat for infant: “As an infant is likely to be injured by the contact of developed air bag with backward seat, this seat for infant shall be used on the seat not equipped with air bag.” (5) Method for maintenance (6) Matters of replacement (Treatment of seat belt and restraints in case of a shock and others)18 D 0401-1996 Attached Fig. 1.
