of the dummy and the axis of the impactor is aligned with the centre of the H-point back plate.
5.12.6. The peak force of the impactor, obtained from the impactor acceleration filtered using ISO 6487:2000 CFC 180 and multiplied by the impactor mass, should be between and including 4.4 and 5.4 kN, and occur between and including 10.3 and 15.5 m/s.
5.12.7. The pubic symphisis force, filtered using ISO 6487:2000 CFC 600, should be between and including 1.04 and 1.64 kN and occur between and including 9.9 and 15.9 m/s.

Annex 7
Installation of the side impact dummy
              1. General

              1.1. The side impact dummy as described in Annex 6 to this Regulation is to be used according the following installation procedure.

              2. Installation

              2.1. Adjust the knee and ankle joints so that they just support the lower leg and the foot when extended horizontally (1 to 2 g - adjustment).

              2.2.  Check if the dummy is adapted to the desired impact direction.

              2.3. The dummy shall be clothed in a form-fitting cotton stretch mid-calf length pant and may be clothed in a form-fitting cotton stretch shirt with short sleeves.

              2.4. Each foot shall be equipped with a shoe.

              2.5. Place the dummy in the outboard front seat of the impacted side as described in the side impact test procedure specification.

              2.6. The plane of symmetry of the dummy shall coincide with the vertical median plane of the specified seating position.

              2.7. The pelvis of the dummy shall be positioned such that a lateral line passing through the dummy H-points is perpendicular to the longitudinal centre plane of the seat. The line through the dummy H-points shall be horizontal with a maximum inclination of ±2°.[13]

               The correct position of the dummy pelvis can be checked relative to the H-point of the H-point Manikin by using the M3 holes in the H-point back plates at each side of the ES-2 pelvis.  The M3 holes are indicated with "Hm".  The "Hm" position should be in a circle with a radius of 10 mm round the H-point of the H-point Manikin.

               The correct position of the dummy pelvis

              2.8. The upper torso shall be bent forward and then
