Vehicle Safety

We offer comprehensive functional and sensory testing for occupant and passenger protection in the field of vehicle safety in the automotive sector and in other mobility sectors. With our accredited test labs, we ensure the effectiveness of passive safety systems and components for body and interior. With a wide range of static, quasi-static and dynamic test solutions, we are flexible, efficient and fast, even for large volumes.

Passive safety systems

We test airbags, seatbelts, seats, structure and sensors according to international standards, regulations, consumer protection specifications and OEM-specific requirements. State-of-the-art measurement and camera technology on our test benches enables verification of current development statuses.


Dynamic safety test / Whiplash

With the help of our component sled system, we analyze the performance of components and assemblies by means of acceleration and deceleration pulses, especially for rear impact and whiplash tests on seats.


Pedestrian protection

In our partner and pedestrian protection test laboratories we offer head, hip and leg tests, test sensor systems and MisUse load cases. These tests can be performed under different temperatures.


Airbag Testing

With over 20 years of experience, we perform common airbag stance tests and energy absorption tests for head impacts dynamically and statically. Virtual test support with high-resolution 4K webcams is also available.
