Annex 3
LATCH TEST FOR LOAD TESTS ONE, TWO, AND THREE, FORCE APPLICATION
1. Purpose
These tests are intended to establish minimum performance requirements and test
procedures for evaluating and testing vehicle door latch systems for their ability to
resist force loads in directions perpendicular to the latch face and parallel to the latch
face in the fork-bolt opening direction. For doors which open in a vertical direction,
the tests are intended to also establish minimum performance requirements and a test
procedure for evaluating the primary latch system in a direction orthogonal to the first
two directions. Primary door latch systems must demonstrate the ability to resist
applicable force loads in both the fully and secondary latched positions; auxiliary door
latch systems, and other door latch systems with only a fully-latched position, must
demonstrate the ability to resist force loads in directions perpendicular to the latch face
and parallel to the latch face in the fork-bolt opening direction at the levels specified
for the fully latched position.

Annex 4
INERTIAL TEST PROCEDURES
1. Purpose
To determine the ability of the vehicle latch system to resist inertial loading by means
of a mathematical analysis of the component parts in their true car relationship or by
evaluation using a dynamic test.
2. Test Procedures
2.1. Option 1, Calculation.
2.1.1. The procedure described in this annex provides a means for analytically determining
the ability of a door latch system to withstand inertial loading. Spring forces are the
average of the minimum spring output in the installed position and the minimum
spring output in the release position. Friction effects and work to be done are not
considered in the calculations. Gravitational pull on components may also be omitted
if it tends to restrict unlatching. These omissions from the calculations are permissible
because they provide additional factors of safety.
2.1.2. Calculation Consideration - Each component or subassembly can be calculated for its
minimum inertial load resistance in a particular direction. Their combined resistance
to the unlatching operation must assure that the door latch system (when properly
assembled in the vehicle door) will remain latched when subjected to an inertial load
of 30 g in any direction. Figure 4-1 is an example of the components and
combinations of components to be considered.
2.2. Option 2, Full Vehicle Dynamic Test
2.2.1. Test Equipment
2.2.1.1. An acceleration (or deceleration) device.
2.2.1.2. One of the following vehicles:
2.2.1.2.1. A full vehicle including at least door(s), door latch(es), exterior door handle(s) with
mechanical latch operation, interior door opening lever(s), the locking device(s),
interior trim and door seal.
2.2.1.2.2. A vehicle body in white (i.e., vehicle frame, doors and other door retention
components) including at least door(s), door latch(es), exterior door handle(s) with
mechanical latch operation, interior door opening lever(s), and the locking device(s).
2.2.1.3. A device or means for recording door opening.
2.2.1.4. Equipment for measuring and recording accelerations.
2.2.2. Test Setup

2.2.2.1. Rigidly secure the full vehicle or vehicle body in white to a device that when
accelerated together will assure that all points on the crash pulse curve are within the

2.2.2.2. The doors may be tethered to avoid damaging the equipment used to record door
opening.
2.2.2.3. Install the equipment used to record door opening.
2.2.2.4. Close the door(s) to be tested and ensure that the door latch(es) are in the fully-latched
position, that the door(s) are unlocked, and that all windows, if provided, are closed.
2.2.3. Test Directions (see Figure 4-3)
2.2.3.1. Longitudinal Setup 1. Orient the vehicle or body in white so that its longitudinal axis
is aligned with the axis of the acceleration device, simulating a frontal impact.
2.2.3.2. Longitudinal Setup 2. Orient the vehicle or body in white so that its longitudinal axis
is aligned with the axis of the acceleration device, simulating a rear impact.

3.9. The door is unlocked. No extra fixtures or components may be welded or affixed to
the sliding side door or any of its components.
3.10. Attach any equipment used for measuring door separation that will be used to
determine separation levels during the test procedure.

3.11. Place the load application structure so that the force application plates are in contact
with the interior of the sliding door.
4. Test Procedure
4.1. Move each force application device at a rate up to 2,000 N per minute, as specified by
the manufacturer, until a force of 9,000 N is achieved on each force application device
or until either force application device reaches a total displacement of 300 mm.
4.2. If one of the force application devices reaches the target force of 9,000 N prior to the
other, maintain the 9,000 N force with that force application device until the second
force application device reaches the 9,000 N force.
4.3. Once both force application devices have achieved 9,000 N each, stop forward
movement of the force application devices and hold under the resulting load for a
minimum of 10 seconds.
4.4. Maintain the force application device position of paragraph 4.3., and within
60 seconds, measure the separation between the exterior edge of the doorframe and the
interior of the door along the perimeter of the door.
