    5. CERTIFICATION OF THE DUMMY
    5.1. Impact side
    5.1.1. Depending on the vehicle side to be impacted, dummy parts should be certified on the left hand side or right hand side.
    5.1.2. The configurations of the rib modules (including instrumentation), the abdominal force transducers and the pubic symphysis transducer have to be converted to the required impact side.
    5.2. Instrumentation
     All instrumentation shall be calibrated in compliance with the requirements of the documentation specified in paragraph 1.3.
    5.2.1. All instrumentation channels shall comply with ISO 6487 : 1987.
    5.3. Visual check
    5.3.1. All dummy parts should be visually checked for damage and if necessary be replaced before the certification test.
    5.4. General test set-up
    5.4.1. Figure 3 of this annex shows the test set-up for all certification tests on the side impact dummy.
    5.4.2. The tests on the head, neck, thorax and lumbar spine are carried out on disassembled parts of the dummy.
    5.4.3. The tests on the shoulder, abdomen and pelvis are performed with the complete dummy (without suit).  In these tests the dummy is seated on a flat surface with two sheets of less than or equal to 2 mm thick Teflon, placed between the dummy and the surface.
    5.4.4. All parts to be certified should be kept in the test room for a period of at least four hours at a temperature between 18°C and 22°C prior to a test.
    5.4.5. The time between two repeated certification tests should be at least 30 minutes.
    5.5. Head
    5.5.1. The head is dropped from 200  1 mm onto a flat, rigid impact surface.
    5.5.2. The angle between the impact surface and the midsagittal plane of the head is 35°  1° allowing an impact of the upper-side of the head.
    5.5.3. The peak resultant head acceleration, filtered using CFC 1000, should be between 100 g and 150 g.
    5.5.4. The head performance can be adjusted to meet the requirement by altering the friction characteristics of the flesh-skull interface (eg. by lubrication with talcum powder or PTFE spray).
    5.6. Neck
    5.6.1. The head-neck interface of the neck is mounted to a special symmetrical certification
