Aviation Seats Crash Testing
Besides offering testing capabilities for the automotive branche, our ISO 17025 accredited lab in Helmond, The Netherlands, is also qualified for aviation seat crash testing. Besides aircraft passenger seats and flight attendant seats we also test aircraft interior systems. These tests are performed at our indoor crash facility. Our Airbus accredited test lab can perform sign-off tests and development test specifically to customers’ needs. |

Pedestrian Protection Testing
In case of an unfortunate mishap, we do not only need to take care of passengers but those whom they might collide with too. In our ISO 17025 accredited test lab in Helmond, The Netherlands, our dedicated team is able to perform all pedestrian protection tests. We carry out a series of impact tests to estimate the potential risk of injury in the event of a car-to-pedestrian accident. We test both pedestrian adult and child head, pedestrian upper leg and pedestrian lower leg impact, all to 40 kilometers per hour. All tests are performed according to Euro NCAP protocols and UNECE regulations. |

Railway Component Testing
Since 2008 the new high speed trains must fulfil crashworthiness requirements stated in EN15227. For this requirement we can test the absorption of energy during a collision. Forthese railway tests -specifically for tests with energy absorbers- we have developed a trolley that can be ballasted to a maximum of 22 ton. This trolley is used to establish the crash performance of energy absorbers which are mounted inside the frontend and rear end construction of high speed trains. Tests are performed in our ISO 17025 accredited lab in Helmond, The Netherlands. |

Restraint System (Development) Testing
Our in-house test laboratory facilitates all there is needed for restraint system (development) testing. The inversed sled (IBS) allows repeatable testing with any pre-defined vehicle pulse for multiple matrixes for numerous load cases. We are also able to provide you with the end-to-end solution: from measuring the vehicle pulse, to testing on the IBS and validating with another measurement of the vehicle pulse afterwards. We have a wide range of test dummies available. |
