ISO 13232-5:2005

Motorcycles - Test and analysis procedures for research evaluation of rider crash protective devices fitted to motorcycles - Part 5 : injury indices and risk/benefit analysis

ISO 13232-5;2005 provides:

• performance indices which can be correlated with human injuries;
• formulae which relate injury indices to probable injury cost;
• a consistent means of interpreting impact test results;
• a means of relating the results obtained from film analysis and instrumentation of the dummy to injuries sustained in accidents;
• a means of assessing both the combined and relative effects of multiple injuries;
• an objective means of quantifying injury cost using a single index;
• a means of verifying the analysis;
• a means of doing risk/benefit analysis of protective devices fitted to motorcycles, based upon the population of impact conditions identified in ISO 13232-2.

ISO 13232 specifies the minimum requirements for research into the feasibility of protective devices fitted to motorcycles, which are intended to protect the rider in the event of a collision.

ISO 13232 is applicable to impact tests involving:

• two-wheeled motorcycles;
• the specified type of opposing vehicle;
• either a stationary and a moving vehicle or two moving vehicles;
• for any moving vehicle, a steady speed and straight-line motion immediately prior to impact;
• one helmeted dummy in a normal seating position on an upright motorcycle;
• the measurement of the potential for specified types of injury, by body region; and
• evaluation of the results of paired impact tests (i.e. comparisons between motorcycles fitted and not fitted with the proposed devices).

ISO 13232 does not apply to testing for regulatory or legislative purposes.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
