本SAE推荐规程描述了可用于评估地面救护车乘员座椅和乘员约束系统完整性的测试程序，这些系统适用于暴露于正面或侧面碰撞时在救护车患者舱内运输的工人和平民。本推荐规程基于救护车-患者舱动力学，不适用于其他车辆应用或座位。本推荐规程的结构适用于以多种姿态安装的座椅系统，包括但不限于侧向、后向和前向- 面对。其目的是为救护车座椅制造商、救护车乘员约束系统制造商、救护车制造商和最终用户提供测试程序，并在适当情况下提供验收标准，以在很大程度上确保乘员座椅和乘员约束系统满足FMVSS 208对轻型车辆中带安全带乘客的类似性能标准。所使用的试验条件是标准化方向，不反映碰撞前可能存在的潜在条件，例如制动和/或转向，以及它们对乘员初始位置和相对于乘员表面的影响。 包括测试设置、测试仪器、照片/视频覆盖、文本固定装置和性能指标的描述。

This SAE Recommended Practice describes the testing procedures that may be used to evaluate the integrity of ground ambulance-based occupant seating and occupant restraint systems for workers and civilians transported in the patient compartment of an ambulance when exposed to a frontal or side impact. This Recommended Practice was based on ambulance patient compartment dynamics and is not applicable to other vehicle applications or seating positions. This Recommended Practice is structured to accommodate seating systems installed in multiple attitudes including but not limited to side-facing, rear-facing, and forward-facing. Its purpose is to provide ambulance seating manufacturers, ambulance occupant restraint manufacturers, ambulance builders, and end-users with testing procedures and, where appropriate, acceptance criteria that, to a great extent ensures the occupant seating and occupant restraint system meet similar performance criteria as FMVSS 208 requires for seat belted passengers in light vehicles. The test conditions utilized are standardized orientations that do not reflect potential conditions that may exist prior to impact such as braking and/or steering and their effects on the initial positions of the occupants and surfaces relative to the occupants. Descriptions of the test set-up, test instrumentation, photographic/video coverage, text fixture, and performance metrics are included.
