Euro NCAP performs a series of crash and safety tests on car models:
a frontal impact test where 50% of the width of the car strikes an oncoming deformable barrier, travelling at 50 km/h a frontal impact test where the car impacts a full-width rigid barrier a side impact test where a mobile deformable barrier impacts the driver's door a pole test where the car is propelled sideways into a rigid pole a whiplash test performed on a sled.A series of pedestrian tests is also conducted with different impactors: adult and child head forms and lower and upper leg forms. As well as AEB pedestrian and cyclist tests. In 2023, a test scenario for Cyclist Dooring Prevention was introduced.
Active safety is rated based on the performance of the car’s equipment: autonomous emergency braking in car-to-car and car-to-motorcycle scenarios, occupant status monitoring (including seatbelt reminders, fatigue, distraction, and impairment), lane support, and speed assistance technologies.
From 2016, Euro NCAP allows manufacturers to sponsor an optional, second rating for their cars. The optional rating represents the safety level that can be reached if consumers opt for the additional safety equipment provided in the form of a ‘Safety Pack’. Euro NCAP would like to see such systems developed, available, and promoted on all models.
