Division 3.3

The selected test points for the adult headform impactor shall be a minimum of 165 mm apart, a minimum of 82,5 mm inside the defined bonnet side reference lines and a minimum of 82,5 mm forwards of the defined bonnet rear reference line. The test points shall be located so that the impactor is not expected to impact the bonnet top with a glancing blow and then impact the windscreen or an A pillar more severely. The selected test points for the child headform impactor shall be a minimum of 130 mm apart, a minimum of 65 mm inside the defined bonnet side reference lines, a minimum of 65 mm forwards of the defined bonnet rear reference line. Each selected test point for the child headform shall also be a minimum of 130 mm rearwards of the bonnet leading edge reference line, unless no point in the bonnet leading edge test area within 130 mm laterally would, if chosen for an upper legform to bonnet leading edge test, require a kinetic energy of impact of more than 200 J.

These minimum distances are to be set with a flexible tape held tautly along the outer surface of the vehicle. If a number of test positions have been selected in order of potential to cause injury and the test area remaining is too small to select another test position while maintaining the minimum spacing between tests, then less than nine tests may be performed. The positions tested by the laboratories shall be indicated in the test report.
