temperature shall be obtained by soaking the dummy at controlled test laboratory environment temperatures within the range specified in paragraph 7.3. above prior to the test.
7.5.                              The stabilised temperature of the test dummy shall be recorded by an internal dummy chest cavity temperature sensor.

8.                                    Vehicle-to-pole side impact test
8.1.                              A test vehicle prepared in accordance with paragraph 5., paragraph 6. and paragraph 7. of this annex, shall be impacted into a stationary pole.
8.2.                              The test vehicle shall be propelled so that, when the vehicle-to-pole contact occurs, the direction of vehicle motion forms an angle of 75° ± 3° with the vehicle longitudinal centreline.
8.3.                              The angle in paragraph 8.2. above shall be measured between the vehicle longitudinal centreline and a vertical plane parallel to the vehicle impact velocity vector, as indicated in Annex 8, Figure 8-1 (or Figure 8-2) for left (or right) side impact.
8.4.                              The impact reference line shall be aligned with the centreline of the rigid pole surface, as viewed in the direction of vehicle motion, so that, when the vehicle-to-pole contact occurs, the centreline of the pole surface contacts the vehicle area bounded by two vertical planes parallel to and 25 mm forward and aft of the impact reference line.
8.5.                              During the acceleration phase of the test prior to first contact between the vehicle and the pole, the acceleration of the test vehicle shall not exceed 1.5 m/s2.
8.6.                              The test vehicle speed at the moment of first vehicle-to-pole contact shall be 32 ± 1 km/h.

Annex 4

Seat adjustment and installation requirements for the WorldSID 50th percentile adult male dummy

                1.  Purpose
Repeatable and reproducible front-row seat installation of the WorldSID 50th percentile adult male dummy in a vehicle seat position and automotive seating posture representative of a typical mid-size adult male.

2.                                   Definitions
For the purposes of this annex:
2.1.                              "Actual torso angle" means the angle measured between a vertical line through the manikin H‑point and the torso line using the back angle quadrant on the 3‑D H machine.
2.2.                              "Centre plane of occupant (C/LO)" means the median plane of the 3‑D H machine positioned in each designated seating position. It is represented by the lateral (Y‑axis) coordinate of the H-point in the vehicle reference coordinate system.  For individual seats, the vertical median plane of the seat coincides with the centre plane of the occupant.  For driver bench seating positions, the centre plane of the occupant coincides with the geometric centre of the steering wheel hub.  For other seats, the centre plane of the occupant is specified by the manufacturer.
2.3.                              "Design rib angle" means the nominal (theoretical) angle of the WorldSID 50th percentile adult male middle thorax, lower thorax
