In July 2022 NHTSA published a report summarizing the repeatability and reproducibility evaluation of the Worldwide Harmonized Side Impact Dummy 50th percentile adult male dummy (WorldSID-50M) in qualification tests. After minor revisions to the WorldSID-50M’s thorax, NHTSA determined that an updated assessment of the WorldSID-50M’s repeatability and reproducibility in qualification tests was warranted. NHTSA’s Vehicle Research and Test Center and three independent test labs performed multiple qualification tests on three dummies. Average, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation were calculated for each required measurement parameter of each test condition.
