Innovazione e gestione dei programmi sincronizzata e collaborativa per i nuovi programmi
I nostri impianti di prova sono dotati delle attrezzature più moderne, supportate da oltre 50 anni di esperienza nei sistemi di ritenuta per bambini (CRS, Child Restraint System). Nelle nostre strutture, offriamo configurazioni di test complete per le certificazioni ECE R44 e ECE R129 nelle prove dinamiche di impatto frontale, laterale e posteriore. Con la possibilità di eseguire il Plus Test svedese, test PCT (pre-consumer testing) e COP (Conformity of Production), offriamo la gamma completa di test per CRS. I nostri impianti di prova a Helmond, Olanda, sono certificati E4 RDW, E1 KBA e ISO 17025.

Nowadays, if you have your child restraint ready for the market, keep in mind that the European consumer organization may pick your CRS for extensive consumer testing. The tests done by the consumer organization are much more severe then what is required by the ECE standards. Our in-house pre-consumer testing (PCT) solutions regarding dynamic testing include two elements: Frontal impact and side-impact. Frontal impact takes place at 72 km/h against a solid barrier using a suitably stiffened vehicle structure (Golf VII). The frontal impact test takes place on our inversed sled. The side-impact tests take place at 28 km/h against a solid barrier at an angle of about 80° on our deceleration track. HIC, head and chest accelerations and neck forces and moments, as well as head displacement, are measured to calculate the dynamic rating score.
Do you have a rear-facing child restraint system in group 1 or 2 or an I-size rear-facing system for the Swedish market? For Sweden, the plus pulse test is a supplementary test to ensure that a child is not exposed to life-threatening high-headed forces during a frontal collision, which is a standard test in Sweden. This test differs from regular European tests because of the higher speed than normal, very short braking distance and neck-forces measurements. We can perform this test at our test lab in Helmond, The Netherlands.
We are able to provide training for manufacturers and retailers. This training can be based on all tests we perform, from regulations, ECE R44 and R129, to Conformity Of Production procedures, factory audits, and PCT. Training is given by our Child Restraint System testing experts and engineers. We offer training to a maximum of 10 people, which can be either on our testing location in The Netherlands or on location.
We can perform testing against the ECE R44 standard as well as the new i-Size (ECE R129) standard. We test forward, rearward facing Child Restraint Systems and carrycots, ISOFIX anchorage or belt systems of all types, categories against ECE R44 and ECE R129 for homologation, conformity of production, extension, and other experimental testing. All Q-dummies are available and up to latest the version of regulation. Our test facility in Helmond, The Netherlands, is accredited by RDW and KBA for certification and is ISO 17025 accredited.
Our software division can perform virtual crash test analysis in its software tool Simcenter Madymo, supported by validation models of all child dummies used in major test protocols (Q-dummies, P-dummies, hybrid-III family). Using Simcenter Madymo, CRS manufacturers, researchers, and engineers can model, thoroughly analyze and optimize safety designs early in the development process. This reduces the expense and time involved in building and testing prototypes. Adopting Simcenter Madymo also minimizes the risk of making design changes late in the development phase. For new or improved models and components, Simcenter Madymo cuts costs and reduces the time-to-market substantially. Later, you can test the ultimate design real-life on our test sleds.
