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.

The scope of this SAE Recommended Practice is restricted to the testing of jacks supplied as original equipment on passenger cars, light trucks, and vans. To this end, both component suppliers and vehicle manufacturers are guided in the proper design and testing of jacks. The purpose of this document is to provide a test procedure that can be used to ensure reasonable quality and uniformity for vehicle jacks as supplied as original equipment.

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 standard is to delineate the symbols used to identify controls, indicators, and tell-tales for automotive vehicles, trucks, off-the-road vehicles, construction equipment, industrial and recreational transportation and is for reference purposes only. The symbol application is to be found within the appropriate standards listed.

This SAE Recommended Practice defines, for vehicle manufacturers and collision information and equipment providers, the types of vehicle dimensional data needed by the collision repair industry and aftermarket equipment modifiers to properly perform high-quality repairs to damaged vehicles. Both bodyframe and unitized vehicles, including passenger cars and light trucks, are addressed.

The most important aspect of structural unibody repair is the correct application of Gas Metal Arc Welding, or G.M.A.W (formerly called Metallic Inert Gas, M.I.G) welding. It is the intent of the SAE Recommended Practice to inform the body repairman on how to evaluate his welds and check if the welder is properly adjusted. By doing this, he can improve the quality of his structural repairs and develop consistent welds.

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.

Approved by AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS INSTITUTE February 22, 1983 An American National Standard implies a consensus of those substantially concerned with its scope and provisions. An American National Standard is intended as a guide to aid the manufacturer, the consumer, and the general public. The existence of an American National Standard does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standard or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standard. American National Standards are subject to periodic review and users are cautioned to obtain the latest editions.
