to the test fixture. Each door and striker should be mounted to correspond to its orientation on the vehicle and to the direction required for inertial load tests (paragraph 2.3.3. of this annex).
2.3.2.2.                                      Mount the test fixture to the acceleration device.
2.3.2.3.                        Install the equipment used to record door opening.
2.3.2.4.                        Ensure that the door latch is in the fully-latched position, that the door is tethered, unlocked, and that the window, if provided, is closed.
2.3.3.                              Test directions (see Figure 4-3)
2.3.3.1.                        Longitudinal setup 1. Orient the door subsystem(s) on the acceleration device in the direction of a frontal impact.
2.3.3.2.                        Longitudinal setup 2. Orient the door subsystem(s) on the acceleration device in the direction of a rear impact.
2.3.3.3.                        Transverse setup 1. Orient the door subsystem(s) on the acceleration device in the direction of a driver-side impact.
2.3.3.4.                        Transverse setup 2. Orient the door subsystem(s) on the acceleration device in the direction opposite to that described in paragraph 2.3.3.3. of this annex.
2.3.3.5.                        Vertical setup 1. (Applicable to doors that open in a vertical direction). Orient the door subsystem(s) on the acceleration device so that its vertical axis (when mounted in a vehicle) is aligned with the axis of the acceleration device, simulating a rollover impact where the force is applied in the direction from the top to the bottom of the door (when mounted in a vehicle).
2.3.3.6.                        Vertical setup 2. (Applicable to doors that open in a vertical direction). Orient the door subsystem(s) on the acceleration device so that its vertical axis (when mounted in a vehicle) is aligned with the axis of the acceleration device, simulating a rollover impact where the force is applied in the direction opposite to that described in paragraph 2.3.3.5. of this annex.
2.4.                                    Test operation for options 2 and 3
2.4.1.                              A minimum acceleration level of 30 g shall be maintained over a period of at least 30 ms, while keeping the acceleration within the pulse corridor as defined in Table 4‑1 and graphically shown in Figure 4-2.
2.4.2.                              Accelerate the test fixture(s) in the following directions:
2.4.2.1.                        For option 2 tests:
2.4.2.1.1.              In the direction specified in paragraph 2.2.3.1. of this annex.
2.4.2.1.2.              In the direction specified in paragraph 2.2.3.2. of this annex.
2.4.2.1.3.              In the direction specified in paragraph 2.2.3.3. of this annex.
2.4.2.1.4.              In the direction specified in paragraph 2.2.3.4. of this annex.
2.4.2.2.                        For Option 3 tests:
2.4.2.2.1.              In the direction specified in paragraph 2.3.3.1. of this annex.
2.4.2.2.2.              In the direction specified in paragraph 2.3.3.2. of this annex.
