ECE R42 Standard Test for Approval of Front and Rear Protection Parts of Road Vehicles

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ECE R42 standard. The ECE R-42 regulation published by the European Economic Commission (ECE) regulates the principles for the approval of the front and rear protection parts (bumpers, etc.) of road vehicles.

ECE R42 Standard Test for Approval of Front and Rear Protection Parts of Road Vehicles

This technical regulation contains uniform provisions on the approval of equipment and parts of motor vehicles and applies to the behavior of certain parts of the front and rear parts of passenger cars in a low-speed collision situation.

The exterior protection of road vehicles is provided mainly by protective equipment located at the front and rear of the vehicles and designed to ensure that contact and minor shocks do not cause serious damage.

The curb weight used during the tests is the weight of the vehicle during operation and is the standard equipped weight complete with fuel, coolant, lubricant, equipment and spare wheel. The laden weight of the vehicle refers to the weight including the passengers inside.

The application for the approval of the vehicle type regarding the protection provided by the vehicle bumpers in the event of a low speed collision is made by the company producing this vehicle and its authorized representative.

Meanwhile, detailed descriptions of the vehicle type, dimensions, drawings and components, drawings showing the front, side and rear of the vehicle, detailed designs of the front and rear of the vehicle, a detailed description of the vehicle's unladen weight and protective equipment and their position on the vehicle, should be submitted to the technical service.
