This test procedure is intended to evaluate and/or validate electrical ground schemes for use on the body or chassis. There are two classes based on the expected environmental conditions. Exposed Grounds can be located anywhere in the vehicle (except on the powertrain) and is the class for which most schemes should be tested. Unexposed Grounds can only be used in the passenger compartment or trunk and as such are special cases. This procedure as written is not intended for testing powertrain grounds where high temperatures and vibration levels may be encountered. These situations may require modifications to this procedure and are left to the Responsible Engineer to determine. This specification does not specifically address validation of terminal to wire electrical crimps. Crimps are tested to SAE/USCAR-21

This standard provides a test method for determining the torque-tension relationship of both external and internal metric threaded fasteners for the purpose of measuring the frictional characteristics of the threaded fasteners. The results obtained by this test are relevant to the test conditions only and should not be utilized for specific applications.

The procedures contained in this specification cover the laboratory testing of miniature incandescent bulbs for use in automotive illumination and signaling applications.

This standard sets forth the performance and durability requirements for 12-volt, D.C. brush-type electric motors used for automobile Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) blowers and outlines Production Validation and Continuing Conformance testing.

This specification establishes the requirements and test procedures for automotive miniature bulb retention devices, including wedge base sockets with integral connectors, direct wire wedge base sockets, bayonet base sockets with integral connectors, direct wire bayonet base sockets, wedge base and bayonet base sockets with circuit plate assemblies, and associated interfaces. Tests shall follow the sequence shown in the flow charts in Appendices E and F whenever the following occurs: New design. Design, material, or process change made to an existing device, which could affect the outcome of the test. The test sequences shown in Appendix G shall be run annually.

This specification is a general level subsystem light source specification that establishes test requirements of light emitting diode (LED) components and modules for use in automotive lighting systems. The completed test data from this test specification is intended to be provided to the OEM by the Tier 1 lamp set maker as part of the lamp assembly PPAP. Re-testing shall be required if any portion of the approved LED module experiences a design, manufacturing, or component change. This document shall be applied to systems that meet the requirements for design, performance, and validation established by government standards. The LED module is defined as the LED devices and any electronics required to properly energize the LEDs using a vehicle electrical power system along with any associated electrical wiring, connectors, and thermal management system. Samples shall be tested as a subsystem and considered one test sample for the entire test sequence.

Procedures included within this specification are intended to cover performance testing at all phases of development, production, and field analysis of any USB cable assemblies and associated connections that constitute the electrical connection systems between the consumer peripheral interface and the USB computer source in road vehicle applications. These procedures are only applicable to the USB connector and the cable. Unless otherwise specified, all of the tests listed in this specification are for both consumer and nonconsumer interface connectors.

This document describes the assessment methods and physical requirements associated with the manual handling of carts and dollies, specific to material handling systems. All possible designs and applications could not be anticipated in creating these guidelines. Where there are questions of adherence to this document, such as use of an “off-the shelf” design, always consult the responsible Ergonomics Department. Force guidelines were primarily developed referencing the push/pull psychophysical Snook data contained in A Guide to Manual Materials Handling (second edition) by Mital, Nicholson and Ayoub (NY: Taylor & Francis, 1997). The force guidelines accommodate 75% of female capabilities and 99% of male capabilities. Factors that were included in the established guideline include: push / pull distances, vertical hand height, horizontal hand height, frequency and wheel / castor alignment and load rating. These factors were used to develop a conservative force guideline.
