Overview

ISO/TS 17242:2014/Amd 1:2017 is an important technical specification published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that provides an amendment to the quasi-static calibration procedure for belt force transducers. This document updates the calibration methodology to ensure greater precision and repeatability in measuring belt forces, which are critical for validating safety components such as seatbelt systems in road vehicles. The standard was developed by ISO Technical Committee ISO/TC 22 (Road vehicles), Subcommittee SC 36 (Safety and impact tests).

The amendment introduces clarified measurement instructions, revised evaluation methods including linear and polynomial regressions, and updated specifications for test belt straps used during calibration.

Key Topics

  • Sensor Offset Measurement
    Calibration requires measuring sensor offset under a no-load condition with a new belt strap mounted in the fixture to increase accuracy.

  • Loading Procedure
    A single loading sequence using one belt strap per test transducer is conducted within defined velocity and force limits, covering at least 100% of the transducer’s calibration range.

  • Non-linearity Evaluation
    The amended guidance specifies quantifying non-linearity as a percentage of the transducer’s calibration range using linear regression methods.

  • Data Evaluation Techniques

    • Linear Regression: Utilizes least-squares fitting through the origin to calculate sensitivity and offset, minimizing deviations between measured and linearized forces.
    • Polynomial Regression: Employs a least-squares fit for third-degree polynomials to better approximate force output, optimizing coefficients for a more accurate calibration curve.
  • Standardized Belt Strap Specifications
    Detailed requirements for calibration belt straps include:

    • Width: 47 mm to 49 mm
    • Thickness: 1.25 mm to 1.35 mm
    • Minimum breaking load: ≥ 30 kN
    • Strain at 10 kN: 14% to 16%
    • Weight: 64 g/m to 68 g/m
    • Construction: Normal band with bonding K2/2, double shot
    • Color and finishing through spin dying
      These attributes ensure reproducibility and traceability in calibration processes.
  • Belt Strap Thickness Measurement
    Thickness must be verified on multiple points with a test gauge (0.01 mm resolution, max 3% error), averaged over segments if longer than 10 meters, and documented in calibration reports.

Applications

ISO/TS 17242:2014/Amd 1:2017 is primarily applied in:

  • Automotive Safety Testing
    Ensures consistent calibration of belt force transducers for seatbelt assemblies and restraint systems used in crash and impact tests.

  • Manufacturing Quality Control
    Supports manufacturers of seatbelt systems by standardizing calibration processes for force sensors, improving product reliability and compliance with safety regulations.

  • Research and Development
    Facilitates accurate force measurement in experimental setups for vehicle safety feature enhancements or new restraint technologies.

  • Certification and Compliance
    Enables regulatory bodies and test labs to validate the performance of belt force transducers according to globally recognized calibration methods.

Related Standards

  • ISO/TC 22 – Road Vehicles
    Covers safety and testing standards relevant to vehicle components including restraint systems.

  • ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and 2
    Provide editorial and procedural rules guiding the development and maintenance of ISO standards, ensuring consistency and quality in publication.

  • ISO/TS 17242:2014
    The base technical specification which this amendment revises, detailing initial calibration procedures for belt force transducers.

  • International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Standards
    Relevant for electromechanical measurement devices and sensor calibration methods that may intersect with belt force transducer technologies.


By following the revised procedures and specifications in ISO/TS 17242:2014/Amd 1:2017, organizations ensure that belt force transducer calibrations are performed with enhanced accuracy, standardization, and traceability-key factors in promoting safety and reliability in vehicle restraint testing and certification.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
