Annex 3

Dynamic pole side impact test procedure

                1.  Purpose
Determination of compliance with the requirements of paragraph 5. of this Regulation.

2.                                   Definitions
For the purposes of this annex:
2.1.                              "Fuel ballast" means water; or Stoddard Solvent; or any other homogeneous liquid with a specific gravity of 1.0 +0/-0.25 and a dynamic viscosity of 0.9 ± 0.05 mPa·s at 25 °C.
2.2.                              "Impact reference line" is the line formed on the impact side of the test vehicle by the intersection of the exterior surface of the vehicle and a vertical plane passing through the centre of gravity of the head of the dummy positioned in accordance with Annex 4, in the front-row outboard designated seating position on the impact side of the vehicle.  The vertical plane forms an angle of 75° with the vehicle longitudinal centreline. The angle is measured as indicated in Annex 7, Figure 7-1 (or Figure 7-2) for left (or right) side impact.
2.3.                              "Impact velocity vector" means the geometric quantity which describes both the speed and direction of travel of the vehicle at the moment of impact with the pole. The impact velocity vector points in the direction of travel of the vehicle. The origin of the impact velocity vector is the centre of gravity of the vehicle and its magnitude (length) describes the impact speed of the vehicle.
2.4.                              "Laden attitude" means the pitch and roll angle of the test vehicle when positioned on a level surface with all tyres fitted and inflated as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer and loaded to the laden mass. The test vehicle is loaded by centrally positioning 136 kg or the rated cargo and luggage mass (whichever is less) in the cargo/luggage carrying area over the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle. The mass of the necessary anthropomorphic test device is placed on the front‑row outboard designated seating position on the impact side of the vehicle. The front-row seat on the impact side of the vehicle is positioned in accordance with Annex 4.
2.5.                              "Laden mass" means unladen vehicle mass, plus 136 kg or the rated cargo and luggage mass (whichever is less), plus the mass of the necessary anthropomorphic test device.
2.6.                              "Pitch angle" is the angle of a fixed linear reference connecting two reference points on the front left or right door sill (as applicable), relative to a level surface or horizontal reference plane. An example of a suitable fixed linear reference for left side door sill pitch angle measurement is illustrated in Figure 9-1 of Annex 9.
2.7.                              "Pole" means a fixed rigid vertically oriented metal structure with a continuous outer cross section diameter of 254 mm ±
