Specifies requirements for the design, installation and usage of partial cargo barriers in vehicles for the protection of occupants sharing the same interior space. It applies to dividing structures intended to reduce injuries to occupants caused by the cargo shifting under crash conditions.

This Standard specifies a range of performance requirements including load ratings for partial cargo barriers and their design, installation and usage in vehicles for the protection of occupants.This Standard does not cover the requirements for other types of dividing devices, such as dog nets, which are not intended specifically to reduce injuries caused by cargo shifting under crash conditions.
