Occupant Restraint and Equipment Mounting Integrity – Rear Impact System-Level Ambulance Patient Compartment (Superseded by J3044 AUG2016)

Details

• Corporate Authors:
  Truck Crashworthiness Committee
• Description:
  RATIONALE: This SAE Recommended Practice was developed by members of the SAE Truck Crashworthiness Committee in support of the ambulance industry's need to apply science to the mounting of equipment and retention of occupants inside the patient compartment of an ambulance. The Recommended Practice was validated collaboratively by industry and government partners through extensive testing funded and managed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the Department of Homeland Security and the Ambulance Manufacturers Division of the NTEA. Analysis of the data and development of the representative crash pulse corridor was performed by a consensus of automotive crash testing laboratories. SCOPE: This SAE Recommended Practice describes the test procedures for conducting rear impact occupant restraint and equipment mounting integrity tests for ambulance patient compartment applications. Its purpose is to describe crash pulse characteristics and establish recommended test procedures that will standardize restraint system and equipment mount testing for ambulances. Descriptions of the test set-up, test instrumentation, photographic/video coverage, and the test fixtures are included. [Description provided by NIOSH]
