The amount of containment that a countermeasure must produce was selected by the NHTSA to be less than or equal to 100 mm (4 inches). This value was selected based upon research and by referencing other safety standards such as FMVSS 217 and 206. The excursion value is the only performance criteria set . . . → Read More: SUMMARY OF THE FMVSS 226 TEST REQUIREMENTS AND METHODOLOGY
