What is ISO/TR 27957 about?
ISO/TR 27957 is an international standard on anthropomorphic test devices (ATD) and is intended to ensure that the temperature of the ATD is in accordance with the temperature corridor.
ISO/TR 27957 defines the number and the arrangement of temperature measuring points for ATD.
Who is ISO/TR 27957 for?
ISO/TR 27957 on temperature measurement in ATD is relevant to:
- Road vehicle engineers
- Anthropomorphic test devices laboratory
- Automotive industry
Why should you use ISO/TR 27957?
Anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs), often known as dummies, are mechanical human surrogates used to assess the safety capability of various types of restraint systems in simulated crashes of new vehicle designs.
ISO/TR 27957 guides you with the equipment used for temperature measurement and data logging of ATD.
The temperature sensor locations are provided to represent the temperature-sensitive parts of the dummies for the assessment of the risk of injury.
ISO/TR 27957 defines the sensor locations for anthropomorphic test devices of the Hybrid-III family, SID-IIs, ES-2 and ES-2re, WorldSID 5th and 50th, THOR-M 5th, and 50th, Q-children, and BioRID.
Overall, ISO/TR 27957 provides the best practice for the design and measurement of ATD temperature and temperature sensor locations providing safety and protection for users as well as workers.
