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.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity
assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical Barriers
to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information.
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 22, Road vehicles, Subcommittee SC 36, Safety
aspects and impact test.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/TR 12349-1:1999), of which it constitutes
a minor revision.
ISO/TR 12349 consists of the following parts, under the general title Road vehicles — Dummies for
restraint system tests:
— Part 1: Adult dummies
— Part 2: Child dummies

Introduction
Some experts of ISO/TC 22/SC 36 reviewed the widely available adult crash test dummies on the basis
of biofidelity, repeatability and reproducibility, durability, instrumentation capabilities, and ease of use.
Implementation of a crash test dummy in a regulation or consumers’ test is not a basis for recommendation
in this Technical Report. Adult dummies whose designs were protected intellectual property at the time
of review were not considered. Crash test dummies are continually being evaluated and those that are
not currently recommended may be recommended in the next update of this Technical Report. This
Technical Report represents the best recommendation of widely available adult crash test dummies at
the time of publication.
The dummy instrumentation specified as required or optional in ISO test procedures for crash, sled, and
OOP tests were reviewed. Adult dummy instrumentation recommended in this Technical Report consists
of all instrumentation that are required by at least one test procedure. Some optional instrumentation
and some instrumentation not specified in any ISO test procedure are also recommended in this
Technical Report.
TECHNICAL REPORT ISO/TR 12349-1:2015(E)
Road vehicles — Dummies for restraint system testing —
Part 1:
Adult dummies
1 Scope
This Technical Report specifies the adult crash test dummies that are recommended by ISO for use in
evaluating the occupant protection potential of restraint systems in frontal, side, and rear impact test
procedures and out-of-position airbag test procedures.
