Each test dummy must be calibrated or certified, as every other measuring device. The certification procedure is a set of tests on dummy components and on the whole dummy which have to be carried out to confirm that the dummy is correctly adjusted and the response of defined impacts lie within specified limits. This procedure described here is based on the calibration experience of institutes which developed and built the proto- type dummy parts.Furtheron the assembly of the EUROSID and the instrumentation is described. A seating procedure for the EUROSID into the testcar is proposed and discussed.
