2. General Description and Features
2.1 Design History
The development of the Q-series, directed by the International Child Dummy
Working Group, resulted in a Q3 dummy in 1998, followed by the addition of the
Q6 dummy in 1999, and the Q1 in 2000.
Based on customer feedback and test results, Humanetics have received
comments on the dummies’ performance and durability. This has resulted in an
update program that was started in 2004. This update was aimed at a number of
issues with the Q dummies in the shoulder, and head/neck area. During this
period, the Q0 and Q1.5 were added to the family, based on Q-series
anthropometry and biofidelity data.
The European Enhanced Vehicle-safety Committee performed an extensive
evaluation program of the Q-series in 2004. A full report on a possible
recommendation for use of the dummies in ECE R44 tests is expected in 2005.
Results of the first evaluations have been published at the 19
th
Enhanced Safety
of Vehicles conference in 2005

. In 2006, the New Programme for the Assessment
of Child-restraint Systems (NPACS) adopted the Q dummies for their test
protocols.
2.2 Applications
The Q6 dummy is suitable for frontal as well as side impact CRS evaluations, to
be used for both homologation, consumer rating and research purposes.
Applications include:
Child Restraint Systems (CRS) type approval testing. This includes the UNECE
Regulation R129 in which the Q6 dummies will be applied from July 2017 on to
assess non-integral Child Restraint Systems (CRS). The Regulation R129 is
being introduced in phases including front and side assessment of CRS.
