Tests on individual components
We use impactors, tension tests and pressure tests in order to the functionality, resistance and energy-absorption capabilities both dynamically and quasi-statically on partial structures separated from the overall system.
Evidence based on quasi-static stress tests is required for homologation in many areas:
- Belt anchorages and seats for vehicles and aircraft
- Underrun protection and systems for securing loads on commercial vehicles
- Rollover protection systems
- Equipment in medical vehicles
Evidence of dynamic stress tests
- Material test: Fracturing and splintering behaviour
- Pedestrian protection tests: Head, leg or hip impactor
- Test of interior equipment and headrests: Free-motion head impactor (FMH)
- Impact on steering system: Body block
- Special tests: Rib cage, pelvis and foot impactor
We provide component tests for the following areas:
