NHTSA had conducted tests with two of the master legforms and the legform purchased by the Vehicle Research and Test Center (VRTC) against three vehicles. The results were presented by Mr. Suntay (document GTR9-6-14). Mr. Suntay explained that the test results indicate good repeatability and good reproducibility. However, some other issues were noted such as the problem to meet the certification corridor for one channel with one of the legs, slight mass differences which were in the tolerances but that required adaptations of the firing conditions etc.

On request of Mr. Zander Mr. Suntay explained that tests on the vehicles were conducted at centerline. Mr. Knotz inquired what the build level of the VRTC legform was. Mr. Burleigh promised to double-check this and to report at the next meeting. Mr. Stammen added that VRTC plans to conduct inverse certification tests later this year in their lab which will allow the assessment of whether VRTC leg meets the new corridors of the inverse certification tests.
