It gives me great pleasure to introduce our SIAT 2015 special edition to all of you who’s been always supportive since our first
SIAT launch back in 2013. It has received an overwhelming response and encouragement from the Automotive Industry
professionals and students community across the globe. It is a moment of pride for us to introduce Automotive Lighting
domain along with the Crash Safety Regulations in this SIAT edition 2015.
Considering the recent success in economic growth in BRICS countries which influenced a surge in demand in Automotive
Industry even forecasted as overtaking “Mature Markets” led by the United States, Europe, and Japan by CY 2020, we have
dedicated this edition to BRICS regulations.
Like previous editions, our relentless effort to pass on the knowledge in simple manner and emphasis is on basics of crash
regulations. It shall help readers to understand crash terminology and regulations. This book aims to bridge the gap between
institutional knowledge and ever evolving industrial demand.
My sincere thanks to Mr. Mannikar from ARAI for his irrefutable contribution and being instrumental behind this joint effort.
It’s been an inspiring and learning journey for all of us working for the noble mission of sharing knowledge through this book.
I am also greatful to Mr. K. C. Vora, Convener of SIAT 2015, for the selection of the book in SIAT Delegate Kit which will port this
ready reckoner to decision makers of automotive industry across globe.
I am highly obliged to my friends and colleagues from the industry fraternity for their valuable feedbacks from time to time to
keep us on the right track, not to mention Mr. Anil Kumar Chigullapalli from TATA Motors for his valuable feedback in such a
short time.
Last but not the least, I would like to thank and express my gratitude to all of them, in and outside Wissen Baum team who
played pivotal role to take a plunge with me in this noble initiative.
As our commitment has always been to bring forth the recent past updates to our readers, I assure to compile our next edition
2017 with more in depth exploration in automobile lighting domain.
Before signing off I would like to quote Mr. Henry Ford, an inspiration to many like me, “Coming together is a beginning;
keeping together is progress; working together is success.”

JOURNEY
“Global Automotive Safety Regulations in Nutshell” is a joint knowledge harvesting initiative taken by Wissen Baum and ARAI since 2012. The
subsequent versions of the book were published in 2013 and 2014.
This book is widely appreciated by automotive community and More than 5000 print copies has been circulated through various events like
SIAT, PIPs and thousands of automotive aspirants have been benefited by the free downloads. The automotive industry and engineering
student community have conveyed their gratitude through emails.
This CSR initiative is continuously being supported by the industry community to serve this knowledge which is open to all.
The crash requirement such as ECE R14, ECE R21, ECE R94, ECE R95, Euro NCAP, FMVSS 201, FMVSS 208, FMVSS 214, GB Regulations,
IS 12009, Latin NCAP, US NCAP and many more regulations are presented in simple nutshell format.

1.2 CRASHWORTHINESS
The crashworthiness is a science of optimizing vehicle structure that can absorb the crash energy by controlled vehicle deformations while
maintaining adequate space so that the residual crash energy can be managed by the restraint systems to minimize crash loads transfer to
the vehicle occupants.
CRASHWORTHINESS REQUIREMENTS
Ÿ Deformable, yet stiff, front structure with crumple zones to absorb the crash.
Ÿ Deformable rear structure to maintain integrity of the rear passenger compartment and protect the fuel tank.
Ÿ Properly designed side structures and doors to minimize intrusion in side impact and prevent doors from opening due to crash loads.
Ÿ Properly designed restraint systems that work in harmony with the vehicle.
Ÿ Structure to provide the occupant with optimal ride down and protection in different interior spaces and trims.

exceed 11 111 N.
After carrying out the impact test, the part of the steering control surface directed towards the driver shall not present any sharp or rough
edges likely to increase the danger or severity of injuries to the driver. Small surface cracks and fissures shall be disregarded.

TEST PROCEDURE
Fig. 5.0.4 shows Static Force Application Device (SFAD) for ISOFIX static test. In this test forces shall be applied to the static force application
device (SFAD) in forward and oblique directions according to Table 5.0.5. Full application of the force shall be achieved within a period of 2 s
or less. The force shall be maintained for a minimum period of 0.2 s. All measurements shall be made according to ISO 6487 with CFC of 60 Hz
or any equivalent method.
JUDGING CRITERIA
The belt anchorages must withstand the specified load for not less than 0.2 seconds.
In forward direction force test horizontal longitudinal excursion of point X of SFAD shall be limited to
125 mm.
Oblique direction force test excursion in the direction of the force shall be limited to 125 mm .
CAE
CAE engineer should observe following:
Applied load and Reaction load should show close approximation.
Work done and Internal energy should show close approximation.
Plot the plastic strains for the parts near anchorages. Compare plastic strain with the allowable plastic strain at rupture.
There are two main differences between ECE R14 and FMVSS210. These differences are listed
5.3
ECE R 14 VS
as below.
FMVSS 210 1. The ECE R14 classify the vehicles on the basis of their maximum allowed mass and required
them to sustain different loads dependent on their mass (Refer Table 4.0.3) whereas with
FMVSS 210 constant load of magnitude 13.5 kN is applied on each body block irrespective of vehicle mass.
2. In ECE R14 load should be reached the required load as soon as possible and anchorages have to withstand at least 0.2 seconds.
In FMVSS 210 required a loading ramp between 1 to 30 seconds and structure have to sustain for 10 seconds.

R66
ECE R66 specifies requirements for the approval of large passenger vehicles with regard to the strength of their
superstructure in the event of rollover accidents. The standard is applicable to single-deck rigid or articulated
vehicles designed and constructed for the carriage of more than 22 passengers, whether seated or standing, in addition to the driver and
crew.
TEST PROCEDURE
The complete vehicle is standing on the tilting platform, with blocked suspension and is tilted slowly to its unstable equilibrium position. If
the vehicle type is not fitted with occupant restraints/safety belts it will be tested at unladen kerb mass. If the vehicle type is fitted with
occupant restraints/safety belts it will be tested at total effective vehicle mass. The rollover test starts in this unstable vehicle position with
zero angular velocity and the axis of rotation runs through the wheel-ground contact points. The vehicle tips over into a ditch, having a
horizontal, dry and smooth concrete ground surface with a nominal depth of 800 mm.
