FMVSS test procedures for any one OVSC detailed laboratory testing procedures must be carried out gradually and continuously upgraded. Designated FMVSS minimum performance requirements, in a nutshell, required to prove that the products comply with the objectives of the test. OVSC laboratory testing procedures specified by the use of the type of laboratory test equipment, test tolerances, equipment calibration requirements, a step-by-step instructions and checklists, and reporting requirements. The purpose of the test procedure is two-fold:
1, since all of the contractors test was implemented, it provides a detailed implementation of an independent laboratory test the description of the various requirements. This is to ensure the quality of test results is very important that the test results can lead to a notification and all civil penalties, together with remedial action.
2, which provides a detailed description of the vehicle and equipment manufacturers, OVSC is intended to prove that the affected products FMVSSs suited to meet the minimum performance requirements. OVSC manufacturers can use as a laboratory test procedures to prove their own testing and product monitoring as a guide, a more appropriate test more stringent enough to ensure the safety of a limit. OVSC there is no need to test all the requirements, but manufacturers should do these.
OVSC to provide laboratory testing procedures to the contractors as a guide for the laboratory test data. Data used to determine a vehicle or motor vehicle equipment projects to meet the minimum performance requirements of FMVSS. OVSC laboratory testing procedures are designed to present a consistent testing and data recording, and the use of special equipment and procedures. If any contractor observed a laboratory test procedure OVSC any part of or conflict with FMVSS see the lack of laboratory testing procedures, the contracting parties are required to advise the laboratory's technical representatives (COTR) and resolved before the test contradictions.
Before the start of the test program, each contractor will be required to submit a detailed test procedure to the COTR. Procedures must include a method used to describe the step-by-step. Contractors of the test procedure should include a complete structural test equipment and a list of models, as well as a detailed checklist. List of test equipment should include tools for data accuracy and calibration. All equipment should be according to the manufacturer's instructions were calibrated. Laboratory testing procedures and testing contractors internal testing procedures should be no contradiction. Internal testing of the written approval to the plan before the start of the test obtained from the COTR. Laboratory testing procedures OVSC not want to limit or stop the testing technique or contractors required to obtain test data for the development and use of equipment. These laboratory test procedures for any products or methods are not approved or recommended by the development. However, any of these tests the application of technology or equipment is to be pre-approved by the COTR.
Note: the implementation of the contract OVSC through independent laboratory testing and laboratory testing OVSC preparation procedures, it is not rules, regulations or NHTSA on the interpretation of FMVSS. Laboratory testing procedures are not suited to want to limit the FMVSS (s) requested. In some cases, OVSC laboratory testing procedures are not including all the various FMVSS minimum performance requirements. Recognizing that tolerance is suited to testing, laboratory testing procedures to specify the minimum standard requirements to test some more relaxed conditions. In addition, OVSC advance notice can not modify procedures for laboratory testing, COTR may direct or deviated from the approved contractors of these procedures, the test to a standard with its own implementation of a consistent approach and the scope of the contract. Laboratory testing procedures are not dependent on the adoption of any person to create any rights and interests. Therefore, if the manufacturers limit its certification tests, such as described in OVSC laboratory testing procedures, vehicle or motor vehicle equipment items were not in line with the necessary proof.
