SAE International publishes standards for

emergency personnel responding to hybrid,
electric vehicle accidents
SAE Internationals Hybrid-EV Technical Committee has completed
the technical standard J2990: Hybrid and EV First and Second Responder
Recommended Practice, which offers recommended practices for emergency
personnel responding to incidents involving hybrid or electric vehicles.
As hybrid and electric vehicles become more prevalent on the roads and
highways, emergency responders must be aware of the proper procedures
for responding to accidents and emergency situations involving vehicles
equipped with high voltage electrical systems. As electric vehicles enter
the marketplace in greater numbers, its an appropriate time to recognize
best practices that facilitate a safe response when these vehicles are in an
accident, said SAE committee chairman Todd Mackintosh.
Among the recommended practices contained in the standard are:
A procedure for OEM vehicle badging (labeling) placed at standardized,
consistent locations on the exterior and/or interior of the vehicle
identifying that a vehicle contains high voltage systems for first or
second responders arriving at an incident. This guide would enable firstresponders to quickly identify the involved vehicle powertrain type and
determine if it if contains a high voltage electrical system. Parameters for
the visual content of the badging are also defined in the standard.
A quick reference guide. Think of this as a cheat sheet for firstresponders, said Mackintosh. This will help emergency personnel identify
the location of high -voltage components, high-strength steel, and high
voltage and supplemental restraint system disabling procedures to ensure
the safest response methods for both themselves and vehicle occupants.
A recommendation that OEMs follow common standards for disabling

Supplement to J2990 in progress

The SAE Fuel Cell Standards
Committee began work in January on
a recommended practice for emergency
personnel responding to accidents
involving hydrogen and fuel cell vehicles.
J2990/1: Gaseous Hydrogen and Fuel
Cell Vehicle First and Second Responder
Recommended Practice, will be a document
which supplements the recently-published

J2990: Hybrid and EV First and Second

Responder Recommended Practice.
The new document will address the
potential consequences associated with
hydrogen vehicle incidents and suggest
common procedures to help protect
emergency responders (and tow, recovery,
storage, repair and salvage personnel) after
an incident has occurred.

The increased use of hydrogen as an

alternative fuel for vehicles creates
additional procedures that are not already
addressed in the parent document, J2990.

development of this new document, contact
Pat Ebejer at pebejer@sae.org.

high- voltage circuits and that vehicle OEMs provide a minimum of two methods of initiating the
disconnection and isolation of the high voltage system form the vehicle.
OEM guidelines for the creation of second responder (i.e. tow truck operators) safety
instructions for the inspection and handling of damaged or inoperable hybrid or electric
vehicles, with a focus on the high voltage systems. We want to see OEMs create a set of steps
to follow so second-responders use safe practices. The second responder community should
be made aware of proper procedures when towing, handling and/or storing a damaged or
inoperable electric vehicle, Mackintosh said.
The National Highway Safety Transportation Administration participated in discussions and raised
concerns over post-accident response. Safety is our top priority. The entire industry wants to
ensure that first and second responders are prepared for accidents involving electric vehicles,
Mackintosh said.

Two Hyundai engines receive SAE International

Horsepower Certification
For the first time, SAE International has certified engines for passenger cars from non-U.S.
automotive companies through the SAE J1349: Engine Power Test Code - Spark Ignition and
Compression Ignition - As Installed Net Power Rating technical standard.
Hyundai submitted two engines used in the Elantra and Genesis models. Both engines were
certified and are now included in SAE Internationals database. That database now includes nearly
250 engines including 210 from passenger cars and 37 from small utility vehicles.
Engine certification is based on a series of self-certification tests conducted by the manufacturer
that are witnessed and verified by an SAE International-qualified observer. The procedure for
certification is outlined in SAE Internationals standard J2723 (Engine Power Test Code Engine
Power and Torque Certification). The actual horsepower testing procedure is described in J1349.
Engine manufacturers are free to cite power and torque figures derived from testing conducted
outside the scope of the SAE International standards, but in those cases they may not claim those
figures are SAE J1349 Certified Power.
SAE Internationals Horsepower Certification Program was created in 2005. Small engines were
added to be covered by the program in 2011 under the standard J1995, Engine Power Test CodeSpark Ignition and Compression Ignition- Gross Power Rating.
The full list of certified engines can be accessed by visiting www.sae.org/certifiedpower.

New viscosity grade to be included in new J300 revision

The publication of a revision to SAE J300: Engine Oil Viscosity Classification, is imminent. This
revision will introduce as new viscosity grade, SAE 16.
The revision of J300 was requested by a consortium of passenger car OEMs to provide a new
viscosity grade lower than SAE 20.
The main driving force for using lower viscosity oils is to lower hydrodynamic friction, thereby
increasing fuel economy, according to Michael Covitch of Lubrizol, Chair of the SAE Engine
Oil Viscosity Classification Task Force. The new grade will be specified in the future by
OEMs for cars specifically designed to use new low viscosity oils. It is not deemed to be suitable for
use with older engines or newer vehicles not designed for such low viscosity oils.
Lower viscosity lubricants are expected to help OEMs meet Corporate Average Fuel Economy
(CAF) regulations, and help vehicle owners reduce costs.
SAE J300 is used world-wide to classify engine oils in terms of viscosity grade. OEMs recommend
specific viscosity grades in the owners manuals to ensure that their engines will perform throughout
the lifetime of the vehicle. Most engine oil standards set by organizations such as the American
Petroleum Institute and individual OEMs include requirements for oils to meet the limits found in J300.

Battery labeling guidelines standard published

A new Recommended Practice that covers labeling guidelines for electrical storage devices was
issued by the SAE International Battery Standards Labeling Committee in December 2012.
J2936: SAE Electrical Energy Storage Device Labeling Recommended Practice, provides
labeling guidelines at all levels of component, subsystem and system level architectures describing
content, placement and durability of requirements of labels throughout the total product lifecycle.
It addresses dimensional, positioning, and copy nomenclature, product description, voltage and
manufacturing information, as well as end-of-life disposal, shipping and electrical connection data.

Safety studies of R1234yf use in automobiles continue

Adapted from an article originally appearing in Automotive Engineering International Online, authored
by Paul Weissler
The decision by Daimler to halt conversion to
R1234yfthe low-global-warming-potential
(GWP) but mildly flammable air-conditioning
refrigeranthas led to a vigorous defense of the
products safety by the joint-venture suppliers,
Honeywell and DuPont. Where does the industry
go from here?
The first step, a review and possible expansion of
the existing refrigerant-use risk assessments by
an SAE Cooperative Research Program (CRP)
of 13 OEM members, is under way. The SAE
International Cooperative Research Project team
(CRP1234-4), which was formed in 2012 to
perform an updated engineering review of the
R-1234yf refrigerant, met in early February.

New Recommended Practice provides common

approach to DRBFM methodology
SAE J2886: Design Review Based on Failure Modes (DRBFM), developed by the Automotive
Quality and Process Improvement Committee, was published in March.
This Recommended Practice explains the DRBFM process and its recommended steps. It includes
examples of how to conduct the process and discusses how DRBFM can fit with activities such as
product and process development, validation, production, and change management.
DRBFM has been adopted by both automotive and non-automotive companies. There is a growing
demand for DRBFM information, as companies also expect their global supply base to utilize the
process. As with FMEA, companies tend to use slight variations of the process which can cause
complexity for suppliers that support multiple companies. Development of a J2886, which provides
a common approach to the implementation of the methodology, has been supported by users of
DRBFM from both manufactures and suppliers.

Note flame symbol in orange section at left.
(Paul Weissler)

The CRP continues its process of carefully

reviewing the use of R-1234yf by using universally
accepted engineering methods, including analysis of recent OEM testing from actual vehicle crash
data, on-vehicle simulations, laboratory simulations, bench tests, and over 100 engine compartment
refrigerant releases. Based on this testing the CRP has found that the refrigerant is highly unlikely to
ignite and that ignition requires extremely idealized conditions.
German carmakers, Volkswagen in particular, had urged the close look at the Daimler data. But
only Daimler actually faced a regulatory issue with the European Commission. Daimlers decision to
stop R-1234yf installations and retrofit cars already using the refrigerant back to R-134a reflected
the manufacturers concern. Other (non-German) carmakers selling in Europe have made limited
installations of R-1234yf.
General Motors is the only U.S. maker currently installing R-1234yf, and to date only in Cadillac XTS
and ATS. The Honda Fit electric vehicle also is equipped.
Only limited data has been released publicly on the Daimler test. It reportedly simulated a head-on
collision, following a drive cycle in a small car, that got turbocharger and exhaust surfaces very hot. At
some point the radiator fan had been turned off, simulating a fan failure and further raising of turbo/
exhaust temperatures. A modified refrigerant line permitted engineers to simulate a puncture that
allowed R-1234yf to be sprayed onto the turbo/exhaust. The R-1234yf, reportedly mixed with some
oil, produced a refrigerant flame.
Daimler called the test a real world scenario, and cited formation during the flame of hydrogen
fluoride (HF), which etched the windshield milky white. HF, a toxic, corrosive gas that can result from
decomposition of fluorine-content gas, was evaluated in the CRP studies, and potential exposure
was considered similar to or below other fire-related exposures more frequently encountered.
DuPont and Honeywell said tests similar to the Daimler one were done in risk assessments
performed by laboratories working for SAE CRPs. Honeywell additionally has shown tests it
performed at 600C (1112F), which it said was the highest it encountered in an engine compartment,
and the refrigerant did not burn.
The CRP assessments concluded the refrigerant was safe, in the same risk category as riding in an
elevator.

After serving the industry well for 25 years, airbag noise

standard revised
A revised version of SAE J247 the standards first revision since 1987 was published in
November 2012.
J247: Procedure and Instrumentation for Measuring Acoustic Impulses from Deployment
of Automotive Inflatable Devices provides guidelines for the selection of transducers, data
acquisition systems, and other instrumentation (as well as analysis methods) to help ensure proper
measurement and evaluation of acoustic impulses in automobiles. This recommended practice
primarily focuses on automotive inflatable devices such as airbags.
We were able to make revisions to bring the standard up to date, said Dr. Stephen Rouhana,
Chairman of the Impulse Noise Task Force of the SAE Inflatable Restraints Standards
Committee (which was responsible for issuing the standard). With advances in computer
programs and improvements in instrumentation, we were able to do more detailed analyses and
better predict the risk of injuries.
Rouhana, Senior Technical Leader for Safety, and Group Leader, Biomechanics and Occupant
Protection Passive Safety Research and Advanced Engineering at Ford Research and Advanced
Engineering, personally spent 25 years working on this project as chair of this committee.
I had an earlier experience in which I had hearing damage when an inflatable belt misfired during
test preparations, he said. This gave me an added personal interest in this issue.
The Task Force, which included participants from OEMs, airbag suppliers, testing equipment
manufacturers, and universities, was able to use the U.S. Armys mathematical model of a human
ear, to better predict the risk of injury.
Airbags can be designed so they have less chance of producing hearing loss, said Rouhana, who
has also written numerous SAE papers on this subject over the last two decades. This revised
standard points out that we can preserve the function of the airbag and reduce hearing loss.
Hopefully, this will make some peoples lives better. The group was dedicated to this.

The CRP continues to meet regularly to review and share test information completed since the close
of the original CRP1234-3 in 2009. The original CRP1234-3 concluded that R-1234yf is a safe and
acceptable alternative refrigerant for mobile air conditioning systems that can be used to meet new
environmental standards and consumer needs. The CRP is targeting the second quarter of 2013 for
the completion of its work and the publication of a final report.

J2534 gains acceptance for automotive reprogramming

and diagnostics
Adapted from an article which previously appeared in Automotive Engineering International Online
The SAE International standard J2534, which enables communication between a computer and the
onboard electronic data buses, got a boost last November, when Massachusetts voters endorsed
the nations first right to repair (R2R) law, which specifically named J2534 as a protocol to enable
independent garages to reprogram and diagnose problems in motor vehicle computers. J2534 is
used not only for reprogramming modules throughout the vehicle but also for an increasing amount
of OE advanced diagnostics.

The SAE J2534 device cable plugs into PC and

under-dash OBD II connector.

The impetus for J2534 (Recommended

Practice for Pass-Thru Vehicle Programming)
came from the U.S. EPA and CARB (California
Air Resources Board), which sought an
affordable way for independent garages to
reprogram onboard computers. The overall goal
was improved vehicle emissions compliance.
Prior to J2534 (issued by the SAE Vehicle
EE System Diagnostic Standards
Committee), each automaker had its own
programming system and device. Thus, it was
costly for independent garages to own allor
even mostdevices.

With J2534, an OE application is loaded into a Windows PC, which enables the revised OE vehicle
software to Pass-Thru from the PC. It continues through the J2534 device, and finally through the
under-dash OBD II connector to the appropriate vehicle modules, which for emissions typically are
the engine and transmission computers. With J2534, the Pass-Thru route for vehicle software also
protects an automakers intellectual property.
Issued in 2002, J2534 now has three sections. J2534-1, consisting of the emissions-related
reprogramming protocols, is referenced in EPA regulations. All cars and light trucks sold in the
U.S. are J2534-compatible for reprogramming, and emissions-software compliance (access to the
software) is covered in federal regulations imposed on automakers.
J2534-2 is a living document, subject to new OE features, hardware, and software, prepared with
instructions on introducing them in a way that fits the requirements of the standard. So updating
devices is not a reverse-engineering project. With the new Massachusetts law, most device makers
are likely to update coverage in J2534-2.
J2534-3 is a compliance test for a J2534-1 device, to ensure it is likely to work with an OE application.
When it comes to diagnostics, the primary alternative to an OE scan tool has been the generic
OBD II tools, which display emissions-related trouble codes and data items, such as sensor
readings. Many professional tools add some OE enhanced trouble codes and data items, but
because they provide multiple-makes diagnostics, coverage is spotty.
However, automakers also have been developing their latest diagnostics to run through a PC and
J2534 device. Toyota and Volvo diagnostics already do. BMW/MINI is close (except for security
systems) and GMs latest (Global Diagnostic System) is compliant. Other makers, particularly Ford
and Honda, reportedly are close.
It is predicted that J2534 gradually will become the primary approach for OE diagnostics. And if the
current Toyota and GM two-day subscription rates ($55) for diagnostic or reprogramming access
are typical, independent garages will find the price is right.

US DOT webinar highlights work of SAE Fuel Cell

Standards Committee
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) conducted a live webinar on February 22 on Hydrogen
Refueling Protocols. The webinar focused on the SAE Technical Information Report J2601,
developed by the Fuel Cell Standards Committee, and published in 2010.
The webinar, developed by the DOEs Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (Fuel
Cell Technologies Office), highlighted fuel cell electric vehicle hydrogen refueling protocols, which
allow for a fast and safe fill at hydrogen refueling stations. J2601 standardized hydrogen refueling
protocols, allowing for safe fueling of all vehicles. The webinar covered how the documents
guidelines, developed using OEM hydrogen storage systems and third-party laboratory testing,
establish a table-based approach that allows all OEMs to safely fuel vehicles within a few minutes.
SAE TIR J2601 establishes safety limits and performance requirements for gaseous hydrogen fuel
dispensers. The criteria include maximum fuel temperature at the dispenser nozzle, the maximum
fuel flow rate, the maximum rate of pressure increase and other performance criteria based on the
cooling capability of the stations dispenser. The document establishes fueling guidelines for noncommunication fueling in the absence of vehicle communication and guidelines for communication
fueling when specified information is transmitted from the vehicle and verified at the dispenser.
The process by which fueling is optimized using vehicle-transmitted information is specified. The
document also provides details of the communication data transmission protocol.

The initial committee focus will be on vehicle/operator collision warning systems, collision mitigation
and the collision intervention systems.

SAE provides products that support testing procedures set

forth in SAE standards, Recommended Practices, Information
Reports, and other SAE documents including the OSCAR
H-Point Machine, which is used in the design of seating
and interior packages and in conjunction with SAE J 826 (rev.
1995), FMVSS regulations, and ISO standardsmaking it the
required design and auditing tool for current production.
Also available is the newly designed HPM II H-Point Machine, which includes enhancements
over the OSCAR H-Point machine for use in advance design applications.
