F.2.3 Equivalence

F.2.3.1 Equivalency in the structural context is determined and documented with the methods in the SES

F.2.3.2 Any Equivalency calculations must prove Equivalency relative to Steel Tubing in the same application

F.2.3.3 The properties of tubes and laminates may be combined to prove Equivalence.

For example, in a Side Impact Structure consisting of one tube per F.3.2.1.e and a laminate panel, the panel only needs to be Equivalent to two Side Impact Tubes.
