Dear Name censored
,
Thank you for contacting ANCAP.
To achieve the maximum 5 star ANCAP safety rating, a vehicle must achieve a minimum score across all physical tests as well as meet minimum requirements for the inclusion of mandatory and additional safety equipment and safety assist technologies (SAT).
In 2013, the physical tests ANCAP conducts are:
1. Frontal offset test - simulates hitting another car of the same mass travelling at the same speed – maximum 16 points. Minimum of 12.5 points required in this test to be eligible for a 5 star ANCAP safety rating.
2. Side impact test - simulates two cars colliding at 90 degrees – maximum 16 points. Minimum of 12.5 points required in this test to be eligible for a 5 star ANCAP safety rating.
3. Pole test - simulates a car colliding sideways with a fixed object such as a tree or a pole – maximum 2 points (only available where vehicles are fitted with head protecting side airbags). Minimum of 1 point required in this test to be eligible for a 5 star ANCAP safety rating.
4. Pedestrian test - simulates a collision between a car and a pedestrian. Minimum score of 'Marginal' required in this test to be eligible for a 5 star ANCAP safety rating.
5. Whiplash test - assesses the performance of the seat and head restraint in protecting the occupant from neck and spinal injury through dynamic performance and geometric measurements. Minimum score of 'Acceptable' required in this test to be eligible for a 5 star ANCAP safety rating.
To achieve a 5 star ANCAP safety rating in 2013, a vehicle must also have:
· electronic stability control (ESC)
· 3-point seat belts for all forward facing seats
· head-protecting technology (side airbags) for front seats
· seat belt reminders for front seats
· emergency brake assist (EBA)
· 3 x additional SAT (such as autonomous emergency braking (AEB), adaptive cruise control (ACC), blind spot monitoring (BSM) etc.).
ANCAP recommends vehicles which have been awarded the maximum 5 star ANCAP safety rating.
If you need any further information, please don't hesitate to ask.
