This SAE Recommended Practice establishes a uniform laboratory test method to evaluate the strength characteristics of roof systems. The test procedure is intended to provide reliable and repeatable results and to permit numerical comparisons. A test is conducted in which the vehicle roof system is loaded under controlled laboratory conditions. Structural strength measurements are obtained under load application angles chosen to concentrate forces on the forward portions of the roof panel and roof supporting structure.

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes a uniform laboratory test method to evaluate the capability of passenger car door systems to resist a concentrated lateral inward load. The procedure is intended to provide repeatable results and to permit numerical comparisons. A test is conducted in which the door and related structural members of the vehicle are loaded under controlled laboratory conditions. Structural strength measurements obtained under these conditions are reproducible. Background information and rationale for the test procedures described in this Recommended Practice are provided in the Appendix.

This SAE Recommended Practice provides a procedure for measuring quantitatively the physical characteristics of linear impactors that are believed to effect impact test accuracy, repeatability, and reproducibility. Suggested values and tolerance are also provided for specific applications of linear impactor testing (i.e., ejection mitigation tests, head form impact tests, body block tests). Two functional groups of linear impactors are considered: those whose function is related primarily to displacement, and those related to measuring acceleration or force.

This SAE Recommended Practice describes the test procedure for conducting a rollover test using a dolly fixture designed to laterally trip a vehicle into a roll. Its purpose is to establish a recommended test procedure which will standardize the procedure between different test facilities. A description of the test procedure, test instrumentation, photographic/video coverage, and the rollover fixture is included.
