Anthropomorphic Test Devices; Hybrid III 5th Percentile Female Test Dummy, Alpha Version; Final Rule; Response to Petitions for Reconsideration

Краткое содержание

This document responds to petitions for reconsideration of the final rule that adopted design and performance specifications for a new dummy whose height and weight are representative of a fifth percentile female adult. That final rule was published on March 1, 2000. Adopting the dummy was the first step toward using the dummy to evaluate the safety of air bags for small-statured adults and teenagers. The petitions are granted in part and denied in part. The agency also discovered several minor discrepancies in the drawings package and is correcting those errors in this document.
