We are the german marketing partner from AutoAcc, England, who manufacture the SAE J826B H-POINT Manikin which conforms to the following E/ECE/324, E/ECE/TRANS/505 standards.

The SAE Standard has been prepared to provide a universal three dimensional manikin for use in defining vehicle seating accommodation. This represents the weight and contour of a 10th, 50th & 95th percentile adult male.

Constructed of reinforced plastic and metal, it consists of a separate back pan and seat pan, mechanically hinged at the hip or "H." point, which simulates the actual pivot centre of the human torso and thigh.

A graduated sliding probe is hinged from the "H" point to measure the effective headroom in the compartment.

A quadrant is fastened to the probe to measure the back angle.
A thigh bar attached to the seat pan establishes the thigh length and serves as a base line for the hip angle quadrant.

Lower leg segments also adjustable in length are connected to the seat pan assembly at the knee joint T bar, which is a lateral extension of the adjustable thigh bar.

Quadrants are incorporated in the lower leg segments to measure the knee angles.

Pivoted at the lower end of the lower leg segments, shoe and foot assemblies are calibrated to measure the angular relation.

Positive stops are provided in the thigh and lower leg segments for the tenth, fiftieth and ninety fifth adult male percentiles.

Two spirit levels orientate the device in space.

Body segment weights are placed at the proper centre of gravity locations to bring the mannequin's weight to 76 Kg, the fiftieth percentile adult male weight.
