ECE R16 Safety Belts Approval

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ECE R14 standard. The ECE R14 test regulation regulates the principles for the approval of seat belts. This regulation covers the installation of seat belts and restraint systems for separate use in the specified vehicle categories and the installation of child restraint systems in the vehicles in the specified categories.

ECE R16 Safety Belts Approval

A seat belt is a mechanism that is attached to the interior of a power-driven vehicle and is designed to reduce the risk of injury to the user in the event of a collision or sudden deceleration.

The seat belt or restraint system must be designed and manufactured in such a way as to ensure proper operation and reduce the risk of bodily injury in the event of an accident, when properly installed and used by a occupant. The use of materials with polymer properties for water retention in the production of seat belts is prohibited in all mechanical parts that may adversely affect its operation.

In addition, the hard parts of the seat belt, such as buckles, adjustment devices, attachments and the like, should not have sharp edges as they will rub against the buckets and cause them to break. Likewise, all parts of the belt assembly that may be affected by corrosion must be properly protected. Buckles should be designed to prevent the possibility of misuse and should not be left in a partially closed condition.

The belt adjuster should be adjusted automatically after the user wears it, or it should be easy to use manually. It should also be easily adjusted to the body size of the user and the position of the vehicle seat. The characteristics of the belts should be such that the pressures on the wearer's body are distributed as evenly as possible and they should have energy absorbing and energy dissipation capacities.
