The scope of this SAE Recommended Practice is to establish recommended uniform test procedures and minimum static load requirements for vehicle passenger door hinge systems. Tests are described that can be conducted on test fixtures and equipment in laboratory test facilities. The test procedures and minimum performance requirements outlined in this document are based on currently available engineering data. It is intended that all portions of the document be periodically reviewed and revised as additional knowledge regarding vehicle hinge system performance under impact conditions is developed.

This SAE Standard is directed at the proper communication of the lift points on the vehicle frame or underbody to commercial service personnel for the purpose of raising passenger vehicles, light trucks, and vans completely off the shop floor. To this end, vehicle manufacturers are guided in the proper design of a lift point label and lift points located on the body/frame for use by service garages.

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes uniform test procedures for evaluating vehicle hood latch systems. It specifically pertains to those latch systems on hoods, which when the hood is fully opened (assuming the absence of hood stops) extend at any point above a horizontal plane through the uppermost edge of the steering wheel in the straight ahead driving position with the vehicle in a horizontal position. The following optional tests are described. a Vehicle Performance Tests—On-the-road evaluation under an established pattern of vehicle driving situations. b Laboratory Dynamic Tests—Dynamic simulation in the laboratory of the loads and forces which the latch system encounters on the road. c Laboratory Static Tests—Simplified test procedures intended to permit static simulation of the loads which road tests have indicated the latch system may encounter. The test procedures outlined in this recommended practice are based on current engineering test methods.

This SAE Recommended Practice is intended to provide uniform tolerances for dimensions of urethane materials used for motor vehicle seating. Table 1 describes these tolerances as related to slab and molded applications.

This SAE Recommended Practice applies to all trucks that are equipped with armlift bodies, carrier bodies, wheel lift bodies, wrecker, and underlift bodies. Additional rating methods are provided for tow slings, truck hitches, and chain assemblies.

These remanufacturing procedures are recommended guidelines for use by remanufacturers of starter armatures to promote consistent reliability, durability, and safety of remanufactured starters. Installation of remanufactured or rebuilt products is often an economical way to repair a vehicle even though the products may not be identical to original equipment parts. Before processing any part, a remanufacturer should determine if the original design and present condition of the core is suitable for remanufacturing so as to provide durable operation of the part as well as acceptable performance when installed on the vehicle. The remanufacturer should also consider the safety aspects of the product and any recommendations of the original manufacturers related to remanufacturing or rebuilding their product.

This SAE Recommended Practice provides a Glossary of Terms commonly used to describe Seat Belt Restraint Systems Hardware and their function. These terms are currently defined in various SAE Recommended Practices but are sometimes inconsistent. It is intended for this document to supersede the definitions found in separate SAE Recommended Practices.

This SAE Recommended Practice describes a test procedure for evaluating the abrasion resistance characteristics of webbing when used in hardware of seat belt assemblies such as those described in SAE J140.

This SAE Recommended Practice describes the performance requirements for abrasion resistance of webbing when used in adjustment hardware normally used to adjust the length of seat belt assemblies such as those described in SAE J140. These requirements are applicable to tests conducted according to the procedure described in SAE J339. Although adjustment hardware is normally the primary source of webbing abrasion in a seat belt assembly, consideration should be given to other areas of normal webbing contact in the restraint system that may provide a more severe condition of webbing abrasion.

This SAE Recommended Practice describes test procedures for evaluating hardware used in motor vehicle seat belt assemblies. Related hardware performance requirements are described in SAE J141. Test procedures and performance requirements for retractors will be covered in separate SAE Recommended Practices to be issued later.
