This paper describes the laboratory test procedures and provides objective impact response targets for assessing the frontal impact biofidelity of the head, neck, thorax, and abdomen of anthropometric crash test dummies, component test devices, and mathematical models that are used to represent the 50th percentile male adult. A companion paper covers the knee/thigh/hip complex and the leg. The test procedures and associated data used to establish the biofidelity targets were selected from a review of all relevant and available post‐mortem human subject testing. Reliable data from well‐defined tests were synthesized to create objective biofidelity targets.
