How to read a crash rating
How to read a crash rating: anatomy of an ASTM F2656 rating such as M50 P1 and an ASTM F3016 rating such as S30 P1 Two rating designations split into their parts with explanations. ASTM F2656 VEHICLE CRASH TEST M 50 P1 1 Test vehicle: medium-duty truck 2 Nominal speed: 50 mph (also 30 and 40) 3 Penetration: P1 (least) to P3, 2023 edition 1 2 3 Other ASTM F2656 test vehicles carry other letters. ASTM F3016 LOW-SPEED SURROGATE TEST S 30 P1 1 Test type: low-speed surrogate 2 Nominal speed: 30 mph (also 10 and 20) 3 Penetration: P1 or P2 1 2 3 Used for storefronts and pedestrian areas. Ratings from different standards answer different questions and are not interchangeable.
Workshop excerpt: what each part of an ASTM F2656 or ASTM F3016 rating means, and why ratings from different standards are not interchangeable.
