Product Information:

The 5th Percentile Female Crash Test Dummy serves as a surrogate for a real human in frontal automotive crash tests. It is designed based on anthropometric data and body mass characteristics of the 5th percentile adult female population. The dummy consists of anatomically corresponding components, including the head, neck, chest, upper arms, torso, legs, feet, and outer clothing. Its structure integrates metal and plastic skeletons with rubber, foam, and plastic coverings to simulate muscle and tissue, providing realistic impact response. During testing, acceleration, load, and displacement sensors are installed at specific internal positions to measure dynamic responses under frontal collision conditions, enabling detailed performance analysis.

Standards

The dummy complies with a wide range of international and national standards:

(1) GB 11551 – Protection of occupants in frontal collisions

(2) GB/T 29120 – Anthropomorphic test device general technical requirements

(3) GB/T 24550 – Frontal crash test methods

(4) ISO 6487 – Road vehicles — Measurement techniques in impact tests

(5) SAE J211 – Instrumentation for impact tests

(6) SAE J826 – Vehicle occupant seating reference points

(7) FMVSS 208 – Occupant crash protection

(8) ECE R94 / ECE R16 – Vehicle safety standards

(9) NCAP frontal crash test protocols (US NCAP / C-NCAP / Euro NCAP)
