This SAE Recommended Practice describes the test procedures for conducting quasi-static modular body strength tests for ambulance applications. Its purpose is to establish recommended test practices which standardize the procedure for Type I and Type III bodies@ provide ambulance builders and end-users with testing procedures and@ where appropriate@ provide acceptance criteria that@ to a great extent@ ensures the ambulance structure meets the same performance criteria across the industry. Descriptions of the test set-up@ test instrumentation@ photographic/video coverage@ and the test fixtures are included.
