1. Scope

This Regulation applies to motor vehicles of categories M1 and N1.1

However, vehicles of category N1 where the driver’s position "R-point" is

either forward of the front axle or longitudinally rearwards of the front axle

transverse centreline by a maximum of 1,100 mm, are exempted from the

requirements of this Regulation.

This Regulation does not apply to vehicles of category M1above 2,500 kg

maximum mass and which are derived from N1 category vehicles, and where

the driver’s position "R-point" is either forward of the front axle or

longitudinally rearwards of the front axle transverse centreline by a maximum

of 1,100 mm; for these vehicle categories Contracting Parties may continue to

apply the requirements already in force for that purpose at the time of acceding

to this Regulation.

2. Definitions

When performing measurements as described in this Part, the vehicle should

be positioned in its normal ride attitude.

If the vehicle is fitted with a badge, mascot or other structure, which would

bend back or retract under an applied load of maximum 100 N, then this load

shall be applied before and/or while these measurements are taken.

Any vehicle component which could change shape or position, other than

suspension components or active devices to protect pedestrians, shall be set

to their stowed position.

For the purposes of this Regulation:

2.1. "Adult headform test area" is an area on the outer surfaces of the front

structure. The area is bounded:

(a In the front, by a wrap around distance (WAD of 1,700 or a line 82.5

mm rearward of the bonnet leading edge reference line, whichever is

most rearward at a given lateral position;

(b At the rear, by a WAD 2,100 or a line 82.5 mm forward of the bonnet

rear reference line, whichever is most forward at a given lateral

position, and

(c At each side, by a line 82.5 mm inside the side reference line.

The distance of 82.5 mm is to be set with a flexible tape held tautly along

the outer surface of the vehicle.

2.2. "Assessment interval (AI" of the flexible lower legform impactor is defined

and limited by the time of first contact of the flexible lower legform impactor

with the vehicle and the timing of the last zero crossing of all femur and tibia

segments after their first local maximum subsequent to any marginal value of

15 Nm, within their particular common zero crossing phases. The AI is

1As defined in the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3.,

document

ECE/TRANS/WP.29/78/Rev.3, para. 2. -

/trans/main/wp29/wp29wgs/wp29gen/

E/ECE/324/Rev.2/Add.126/Rev.1

E/ECE/TRANS/505/Rev.2/Add.126/Rev.1 identical for all bone segments and knee

ligaments. In case of any bone

segment not having a zero crossing during the common zero crossing phases,

the time history curves for all bone segments are shifted downwards until all

bending moments are crossing zero. The downwards shift is to be applied for

the determination of the AI only.

2.3. "A-pillar" means the foremost and outermost roof support extending from the

chassis to the roof of the vehicle.

2.4. "Approval of a vehicle type" means the full procedure whereby a Contracting

Party to the Agreement certifies that a vehicle type meets the technical

requirements of this Regulation.

2.5. "Bonnet leading edge" means the edge of the front upper outer structure of

the vehicle, including the bonnet and wings, the upper and side members of

the headlight surrounds and any other attachments. The reference line

identifying the position of the bonnet leading edge is defined by its height

above the ground reference plane and by the horizontal distance separating it

from the bumper (bumper lead.

2.6. "Bonnet leading edge height" means, at any point on the bonnet leading edge,

the vertical distance between the ground reference plane and the bonnet

leading edge reference line at that point.

2.7. "Bonnet leading edge reference line" means the geometric trace of the points

of contact between a straight edge 1,000 mm long and the front surface of the

bonnet, when the straight edge, held parallel to the vertical longitudinal plane

of the car and inclined rearwards by 50° from the vertical and with the lower

end 600 mm above the ground, is traversed across and in contact with the

bonnet leading edge (see Figure 1.

For vehicles having the bonnet top surface inclined at 50°, so that the straight

edge makes a continuous contact or multiple contacts rather than a point

contact, the reference line is determined with the straight edge inclined

rearwards at an angle of 40° from the vertical.

For vehicles of such shape that the bottom end of the straight edge makes

first contact, then that contact is taken to be the bonnet leading edge reference

line, at that lateral position.

For vehicles of such shape that the top end of the straight edge makes first

contact with the vehicle, then the geometric trace of 1,000 mm wrap around

distance will be used as the bonnet leading edge reference line at that lateral

position.

The top edge of the bumper shall also be regarded as the bonnet leading edge

for the purposes of this Regulation, if it is contacted by the straight edge

during this procedure.

Figure 1

Bonnet leading edge reference line

2.8. "Bonnet rear reference line" means the geometric trace of the most rearward

points of contact between a 165 mm diameter sphere and the front structure

of the vehicle when the sphere is traversed across the front structure of the

vehicle while maintaining contact with the windscreen (see Figure 2. The

wiper blades and arms are removed during this process.

Where the bonnet rear reference line and the side reference line do not

intersect, the bonnet rear reference line should be extended and/or modified

using a semi-circular template, of radius 100 mm. The template should be

made of a thin flexible sheet material that easily bends to a single curvature

in any direction. The template should, preferably, resist double or complex

curvature where this could result in wrinkling. The recommended material is

a foam backed thin plastic sheet to allow the template to "grip" the surface of

the vehicle.

The template should be marked up with four points "A" through "D", as

shown in Figure 3, while the template is on a flat surface.

The template should be placed on the vehicle with Corners "A" and "B"

coincident with the side reference line. Ensuring these two corners remain

coincident with the side reference line, the template should be slid

progressively rearwards until the arc of the template makes first contact with

the bonnet rear reference line. Throughout the process, the template should be

curved to follow, as closely as possible, the outer contour of the vehicle's

bonnet top, without wrinkling or folding of the template. If the contact

between the template and bonnet rear reference line is tangential and the

point of tangency lies outside the arc scribed by points "C" and "D", then the

bonnet rear reference line is extended and/or modified to follow the

circumferential arc of the template to meet the bonnet side reference line, as

shown in Figure 4.

If the template cannot make simultaneous contact with the bonnet side

reference line at points "A" and "B" and tangentially with the bonnet rear

reference line, or the point at which the bonnet rear reference line and

template touch lies within the arc scribed by points "C" and "D", then

additional templates should be used where the radii are increased

progressively in increments of 20 mm, until all the above criteria are met.

leading edge reference line, whichever is most rearward at a given

lateral position,

(b At the rear, by a WAD 1,700 or a line 82.5 mm forward of the bonnet

rear reference line, whichever is most forward at a given lateral

position, and

(c At each side, by a line 82.5 mm inside the side reference line.

The distance of 82.5 mm is to be set with a flexible tape held tautly along the

outer surface of the vehicle.

signs on the vehicle body. The type of reference mark used and the vertical

(Z position of each mark relative to the ground shall be specified by the

vehicle manufacturer according to the running conditions specified in

paragraph 2.26. These marks shall be selected so as to be able to easily check

the vehicle front and rear ride heights and vehicle attitude.

If the primary reference marks are found to be within ±25 mm of the design

position in the vertical (Z axis, then the design position shall be considered

to be the normal ride height. If this condition is met, either the vehicle shall

be adjusted to the design position, or all further measurements shall be

adjusted, and tests performed, to simulate the vehicle being at the design

position.

2.31. "Side reference line" means the geometric trace of the highest points of

contact between a straight edge 700 mm long and the sides of the vehicle,
