Introduction
1�1 Q10 2020 Introduction
In the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, TNO and others developed the P-dummies, a series of child dummies that cover
almost the complete child population up to 10 years. The P-series dummies up to 2013 are still test tools for the
European regulation ECE-R44 and are also adopted by many other standards.
In 1993 the international Child Dummy Working Group started the development of a new series of child dummies as
a successor to the P-series. This new series was called the Q-series.
The Q series dummies are available in the following age groups: Newborn, 1 year, 1 ½ year, 3 year, 6 year and 10
year old child. The Q3s is a side impact only adaptation of the Q3 dummy designed to complement the Part 572
Subpart P Hybrid III 3 year old child dummy. A Q6s dummy is also available.
Humanetics controls the configuration of the Q-dummies in close contact with dummy user groups and regulatory
bodies like EuroNCAP and UNECE-GRSP. Since spring 2004 the design of the Q-dummies was frozen and no changes,
that affect the dummy performance or interchangeability of parts, were implemented.
In 2009-2011 the last member of the Q-dummy family was developed and evaluated in a European FP7 Project
called EPOCh. In 2011-2012 third parties evaluated the Q10 prototype dummy (SBL-A). These evaluations resulted in
recommendation for design updates that were implemented in SBL-B.
In the European Enhanced Vehicle-Safety Committee Q10 dummy report – Advanced Child Dummies and Injury
Criteria for frontal dummies 2015 it is recommended “Based on the extensive evaluation and validation results
described in this report, EEVC recommends that the Q10 dummy is used in child restraint homologation tests (UN
R129).” For the other recommendations and further details please refer to the full report. [vii]
In 2015 Euro NCAP requested a design update to address issues that came to light in full scale car testing. The
main issue to address was to improve shoulder belt stability. Humanetics designed solutions and build a prototype
that was evaluated in 2017. After the internal and third party evaluation of the 2017 prototype, a limited set of
design updates were selected by Euro NCAP. In September 2018 the hardware update proposed was adopted for
the Euro NCAP 2020 protocol called the Q10 2020 configuration. To comply with Euro NCAP approval process, the
Humanetics 2020 kit was subjected to a large suit of (comparative) tests that were conducted with the help of Euro
NCAP labs ADAC, BASt and TASS and various vehicle manufacturers and Tier-1 suppliers. Comparative data was
submitted to Euro NCAP at component level on geometry, mass and dynamic response and further at full dummy
level in certification, sled and full scale vehicle type testing. Generally the reported differences with the competitor
hardware were minor and within tolerance; dynamic and kinematic performance were found very similar and within
expected dummy variation. For injury prediction both kits gave very similar results. For details of the evaluation
results refer to conference presentations [i] and [ii].
In April 2020 the Humanetics Q10 2020 hardware was accredited by Euro NCAP. This manual describes the Q10
2020 dummy (drawing 012-0000).
The so called standard Q10 production version dummy is still in use in UN-ECE Regulation 129. The standard dummy
is described in the 010-9900 User Manual Q10. In that manual the history of Q10 hardware updates are listed.
In chapter 14.21 of this manual it is described how to modify the standard Q10 into the Q10 2020 by replacing 23
parts in the Q10 2020 Update kit (010-4450)

1�1�1 DEVELOPMENT HISTORY
Q10 design started in 2009 and was developed with co-funding from the EU commission within the Seventh
Framework program under the project name EPOCh (Enable Protection for Older Children). The Q10 has the
anthropometry of a 10.5 year old 50th percentile child as defined in CANDAT (Child ANthropometry DATabase).
After EPOCH improvements were made taking comments from users into consideration, this raised the standard
build level to SBL-B. In 2013 a lateral shoulder kit was developed which raised the service build level (SBL) to C.
In 2018 the Q10 2020 (012-0000) configuration for Euro NCAP 2020 protocol testing was defined alongside the
standard Q10 dummy used for CRS testing according to UNECE Regulation 129.
1�1�2 APPLICATION
The Q10 dummy is suitable for frontal as well as side impact CRS evaluations, to be used for both homologation,
consumer rating and research purposes. Possible applications include:
• Child Restraint Systems (CRS) testing� This includes the European UNECE R129 and the US FMVSS
213 regulations� The Q-dummies have been designed to succeed the P-dummies in CRS evaluation
regulations�
• EuroNCAP tests� The dummy has been designed to withstand impacts up to 64 km/h partial overlap and
56 km/h full width frontal tests under the EuroNCAP protocol on the rear seat in modern cars�
1�1�3 STANDARD DUMMY DELIVERY
The standard Q-dummy is delivered with the following items (if not ordered otherwise):
• Clothing (a yellow suit);
• Hip shields (red colored)
• Structural replacements in the location of the load cells;
• Mounting blocks for use with uni-axial accelerometers and angular velocity sensors to customer
requirements�
• Two 2D-IRTRACCs mounted in the chest
• H-shaped bracket for mounting the 2D-IRTRACCs in side impact configuration
• Provisions for IES tilt sensors in head, thorax and pelvis
• Dummy tool, hip adjuster
• Manual
1�2 Getting Familiar with the User Manual
This manual is designed to serve as a reference book for technical people working with the Q10 2020 Crash Test
Dummy. Each assembly of the Q10 2020 dummy has been described in great detail to assist the technical personnel
in the proper set-up and adjustment of the dummy for testing. The user manual has been divided into sections as
outlined below:
• Introduction
• Dummy Preparation and Use
• Top Level Dummy Assembly
• Head Assembly
• Neck Assembly
