Regulation 16.08 Consolidated to Supplement 3 Part 10
1.1. DESCRIPTION OF THE MANIKIN
1.1.1. Structure of the lower leg (see Figures 3 and 4)
The structure of the lower leg consists of three components:
A sole plate (30);
A shin tube (29); and A knee tube (26).
The knee tube has two lugs which limit the movement of the lower leg in relation to the thigh. The lower leg can be rotated rearwards 120° from the straight position.
1.1.2. Structure of the thigh (see Figures 3 and 4)
The structure of the thigh consists of three components:
Knee tube (22);
A thigh bar (21); and A hip tube (20).
Movement of the knee is limited by two cut-outs in the knee tube (22) which engage with the lugs of the lower leg.
1.1.3. Structure of the torso (see Figures 1 and 2) The structure of the torso consists of:
A hip tube (2);
A roller chain (4); Ribs (6) and (7);
A sternum (8); and
Chain attachments (3) and at parts (7) and (8).
1.1.4. Neck (see Figures 1 and 2)
The neck consists of seven polyurethane discs (9). The stiffness of the neck can be adjusted by means of a chain tensioner.
1.1.5. Head (see Figures 1 and 2)
The head (15) itself is hollow; the polyurethane form is reinforced by steel plate (17). The chain tensioner by which the neck can be adjusted consists of a polyamide block (10), a tubular spacer (11), and tensioning members (12) and (13). The head can be turned about the Atlas-Axis joint, which consists of the adjuster assembly (14) and (18), the spacer (16), and polyamide block (10).
1.1.6. Knee joint (see Figure 4)
The lower leg and thighs are connected by a tube (27) and a tensioner (28).
1.1.7. Hip joint (see Figure 4)
The thighs and torso are connected by a tube (23), friction plates (24), and tensioner assembly (25).
1.1.8. Polyurethane
Type: PU 123 CH Compound Hardness: 50-60 Shore A
1.1.9. Overalls
The manikin is covered by a special overall (see Table 1).
2. CORRECTION DEVICES
2.1. GENERAL
In order to calibrate the manikin to certain values and its total mass, the mass distribution are adjusted by
the use of six correction steel masses of 1 kg each, which can be mounted at the hip joint. Six polyurethane weights each of 1 kg mass can be mounted in the back of the torso.
3. CUSHION
A cushion shall be positioned between the chest of the manikin and the overall. This cushion shall be made of polyethylene foam of the following specification:
Hardness: 7-10 shore A Thickness: 25 mm 5
It shall be replaceable.
4. ADJUSTMENT OF THE JOINTS
4.1. GENERAL
In order to achieve reproducible results, it is necessary to specify and control the friction at each joint.
4.2. KNEE JOINT
Tighten the knee joint.
Set the thigh and lower leg vertical. Rotate the lower leg through 30°.
Gradually slacken the tensioner (28) until the lower leg starts to fall under its own mass. Lock the tensioner in this position.
4.3. HIP JOINT
Tighten the hip joint.
Place the thigh in a horizontal position and the torso in a vertical position.
Rotate the torso in a forward direction until the angle between the torso and the thigh is 60°. Gradually slacken the tensioner until the torso starts to fall under its own mass.
Lock the tensioner in this position.
4.4. ATLAS-AXIS JOINT
Adjust the Atlas-Axis joint so that it just resists its own weight in the fore and aft directions.
4.5. NECK
The neck can be adjusted by means of the chain tensioner (13). When the neck is adjusted, the upper end of the tensioner shall displace between 4-6 cm when subjected to a horizontal load of 10 daN.

G = centre of gravity
T = torso reference point (at the rear on the centre line of the manikin) P = pelvis reference point (at the rear on the centre line of the manikin)
The displacement measurement at point P shall not contain rotational components around the hip axis and around a vertical axis.
