OSCAR H-Point Machine EA-3 SAE J826
The H-point is used as a key reference point in seated occupant location, seating
package configurations, EPA volumes and crash test positioning. The OSCAR H-point
machine provides the physical representation of this reference point and is a vital
element for design, auditing and benchmarking of seating and interior packages.
The OSCAR machine is used in conjunction with J 826 and is currently referenced
in FMVSS regulations and ISO standards, making it the required design and auditing
tool for current production.
This test is not covered by our current A2LA accreditation.
