NORME FIA POUR GARNITURE DARCEAU DE SECURITE :FIA ROLLCAGE PADDING STANDARD

1. CHAMP DAPPLICATION

Ce document dfinit les critres de performanceen cas de choc de la garniture protectrice pourarceaux de scurit. Le cas chant, cettegarniture de protection devra galementrpondre aux exigences de rsistance au feutelles que dfinies par la norme ISO 15025 :Procdure A (allumage de la surface), ou d'autres critres prciss par la FIA.

Lorsquun arceau de scurit est quip dunegarniture, la protection de la tte en cas dechoc peut tre sensiblement amliore.Cependant, pour quelle se rvle efficace, la

garniture doit prsenter une rigidit suffisante,une capacit dabsorption dnergie adquateet une rsistance correcte aux variations detemprature. Cette spcification prescrit destests dynamiques visant valuer laperformance de la garniture conformment auxexigences de la FIA.

Deux niveaux de performances pour lagarniture sont dfinis en fonction de la vitessedimpact de llment percuteur: type A et typeB.

2. PROCDURE D'HOMOLOGATION POURGARNITURE DE SECURITE

Le fabricant doit fournir la FIA, parl'intermdiaire de son ASN, le rapport d'essai(cf. article 6) certifiant que la garnitureprotectrice en question rpond la prsentenorme.La FIA attribuera un numro d'homologation.

3. DEFINITIONS

1. SCOPE

This document defines the impact performancespecification for protective padding forrollcages. The protective padding may alsoneed to conform with the requirements for flameresistance as defined by ISO 15025: ProcedureA (surface ignition), or as otherwise specified bythe FIA.

When a rollcage is fitted with padding, the headimpact protection can be substantiallyimproved. However, in order to provide aneffective solution, the padding must have an

appropriate stiffness, energy absorbing capacityand temperature stability. This specificationprescribes dynamic tests to evaluate theperformance of padding in accordance with FIArequirements.

Two levels of padding performance are definedaccording to the impactor velocity: type A ettype B.

2. HOMOLOGATION PROCEDURE FORPADDING

Via his ASN, the manufacturer must provide theFIA with the test report (cf. article 6) certifyingthat the padding in question satisfies thepresent standard.The FIA will allocate a homologation number.

3. DEFINITIONS

3.1 Rollcage padding

A device or structure which may be fitted to the

rollcage, in locations that may be impacted bythe drivers head during an accident. The deviceis designed to absorb a proportion of the kineticenergy, thereby reducing the potential for headinjury.

3.2 Impactor

A falling weight, with geometry and mass torepresent the head of a driver fitted with aprotective helmet.

4. PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT

The performance of the rollcage padding shall

be measured in accordance with Appendix I.

When tested in accordance with theseprocedures, the peak acceleration shall notexceed 300g.

POST-HOMOLOGATION CONTROLS APPLIED TO THE PRODUCTSHOMOLOGATED BY THE FIA

ARTICLE 1ARTICLE 1.1: MANUFACTURERS ACCEPTANCE OFPOST-HOMOLOGATION CONTROLSIn applying for the homologation of his product, themanufacturer automatically undertakes to respect the presentdocument and accepts all the control procedures that the FIAmight undertake to guarantee the conformity of thehomologated products.The post-homologation control tests will be carried out inconformity with the conditions set out in the homologationstandard. The manufacturer therefore undertakes not to contestany differences in the test conditions that may appear betweenthe post-homologation test and the initial homologation test,insofar as these differences do not exceed the tolerancesauthorised by the standard.

ARTICLE 1.2: MANUFACTURER'S UNDERTAKING FORTHE STABILITY OF HIS PRODUCTWhen applying for the homologation, the manufacturer

undertakes not to modify the design, materials and fundamentalmethod of production of the product. The only parts that may bemodified without consulting the FIA are those explicitly specifiedin the FIA standard applying to each product.

ARTICLE 2At its own discretion, the FIA may conduct one or other of thefollowing tests:

ARTICLE 2.1: ORGANISATION OF POST-HOMOLOGATIONCONTROLS CARRIED OUT BY THE FIA: PERFORMANCETEST2.1.1. A sample of the product will be taken by the FIA, orby any other FIA appointed person, directly at the productionsite, at an event or via the distribution channels. In the case of asample taken at the factory, the manufacturer will be contacted

beforehand.2.1.2. Performance tests will be carried out in compliancewith the standard to which the sample is homologated, in anFIA-approved laboratory chosen by the FIA.2.1.3. Following these tests, there are two possibleoutcomes:

If the sample passes the test, the manufacturer will benotified that a control has been carried out and that the samplecomplied with the standard.

If the sample is found not to comply with the standard, thenon-conformity of the product will be established on the solegrounds that the irregularity of this single sample has beennoted. The manufacturer will be notified by registered letter ofthe non-conformity of his product.At the request of the manufacturer by registered letter, sent tothe FIA within the 20 days following the sending of the

notification of non-conformity, the same sample may be re-tested by the FIA. In the case of a destructive test, a newsample will be taken in accordance with 2.1.1. Themanufacturer will be invited to attend the second test, togetherwith a representative of his ASN. As far as possible, the secondcontrol tests will be carried out in the laboratory in which theinitial homologation tests were conducted.If this sample is again found not to comply with the standard,the non-conformity of the product will be established on the solegrounds that the irregularity of this single sample has beennoted.If the sample is found to comply with the standard, theconformity of the product will be re-established.

ARTICLE 2.2: ORGANISATION OF POST-HOMOLOGATIONCONTROLS CARRIED OUT BY THE FIA: COMPARISON

TEST2.2.1. A sample of the product will be taken by the FIA, orby any other FIA appointed person, directly at the productionsite, at an event or via the distribution channels. In the case of a

sample taken at the factory, the manufacturer will be contactedbeforehand.2.2.2. Comparison tests will consist in a comparisonbetween the sample and the product initially homologated inorder to check that the manufacturer has respected hiscommitments as set out in article 1.2.2.2.3 Following these tests, there are two possibleoutcomes:

If the sample passes the test, the manufacturer will benotified that a control has been carried out and that the samplecomplied.

Should the manufacturer fail to respect his commitmentsas set out in article 1.2 and in particular if the sample provesnot to be identical to the product initially homologated with theFIA, the non-conformity of the product will be established on thesole grounds that the irregularity of this single sample has beennoted, it being specified that no performance-relatedconsiderations may be put forward in defence. Themanufacturer will be notified by registered letter of the non-conformity of his product.At the request of the manufacturer by registered letter, sent tothe FIA within the 20 days following the sending of thenotification of non-conformity, the same sample may be re-tested by the FIA. In the case of a destructive test, a newsample will be taken in accordance with 2.2.1. Themanufacturer will be invited to attend the second test, togetherwith a representative of his ASN. As far as possible, the secondcontrol tests will be carried out in the laboratory in which theinitial homologation tests were conducted.If it is found that the manufacturer has failed to respect hiscommitments as set out in article 1.2, the non-conformity of theproduct will be established on the sole grounds that theirregularity of this single sample has been noted, it beingspecified that no performance-related considerations may beput forward in defence.

If it is found that the manufacturer has respected hiscommitments as set out in article 1.2, the conformity of theproduct will be re-established.

ARTICLE 3ARTICLE 3.1: CANCELLATION OF THE HOMOLOGATIONIf the non-conformity of the sample is established in accordancewith article 2.1 or 2.2, the homologation may be cancelled.However, the FIA will take into account the existence of specialcircumstances and may impose alternative sanctions whichprovide the same guarantees in terms of safety as thecancellation of the homologation would have done.The following procedure will be used for the cancellation of thehomologation:

The manufacturer's ASN will be notified of the cancellationof the FIA homologation of the product.

The manufacturer will be responsible for implementing theFIA's decision at his own expense.

Once the decision to cancel the homologation has been made,the homologation of the product concerned will immediately bewithdrawn. It will therefore no longer be accepted for eventsgoverned by the FIA regulations.At the same time, the FIA will announce the sanction publicly.

ARTICLE 3.2: INVOICING OF THE CONTROLSIf the non-conformity of the product is established, the FIA willinvoice the manufacturer, via his ASN, for the entire costsoccasioned by these control tests. These shall include the costsof purchasing the product, the costs of the tests, and a fixedsum of 2500 CHF for the services and travel expenses of theFIA Observer.
