Scope
The purpose and scope of this SAE Recommended Practice is to provide a basis for classification of the extent of vehicle deformation caused by vehicle accidents on the highway. It is necessary to classify collision contact deformation (as opposed to induced deformation) so that the accident deformation may be segregated into rather narrow limits. Studies of collision deformation can then be performed on one or many data banks with assurance that the data under study are of essentially the same type.
The seven-character code is also an expression useful to persons engaged in automobile safety, to describe appropriately a field-damaged vehicle with conciseness in their oral and written communications. Although this classification system was established primarily for use by professional teams investigating accidents in depth, other groups may also find it useful.

Accident Investigation and Reconstruction Practices Cmte
The SAE Accident Investigation and Reconstruction Practices (AIRP) Technical Standards Committee is dedicated to the development of recommended practices and information reports in the fields of accident reconstruction/analysis.
STRUCTURE: The committee is composed of a series forums dealing with broad issues dealing with accident investigation and reconstruction. The forums are also based for the Task Forces that develop the J-standards. Current forums and task forces include Collision Damage and Classification, J224; Truck Damage Classification, J1301; Early Acquisition and Preservation of Information, J1674; Accident Reconstruction and Terminology, J1675; Generalized Damage Measurement, J1676; Event Data Records; Motor Vehicle Fire Investigation Advisory Group; Vehicle-Road Friction Measurement, J2505; Uncertainty in Accident Reconstruction; Accident Reconstruction Technology Collection, ARDC2007.Reference

* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
