1. Introduction
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, TNO and others developed the P-dummies, a
series of child dummies that covers almost the complete child population up to
12 years. The P-series dummies 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. Part of the development and evaluation of the Q-dummies
took place within European Research programs like CREST

all aiming at improving child safety in cars. As of December 2011, the
series is available in five age groups, representing a Newborn, 1 year, 1½ year, 3
year, 6 year and 10 year old child.
Nowadays members of this Q family are applied in UNECE Regulation R129, which
became effective per January 2013. Also, various consumer rating programs
world-wide apply Q dummies.
Humanetics reserves the right to make improvements or implement changes to
the dummy, the certification or the user manual if this is deemed necessary. We
will of course inform our customers of any changes or modifications should they
occur.
