Testing & Engineering

The CG-Lock has been extensively tested using industry accepted FMVSS safety standards (Derived NCAP mid sized sedan pulse used. Tests performed to FMVSS 208).

In brief, some of the same studies required for new seat belts as required by the UK Department of Transport and the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Transportation Safety Administration Division (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 208, 210, and 213) were used to simultaneously compare seat belts with and without the CG-Lock installed.

Replicate crash test simulations were conducted at 20 and 35 mile an hour frontal and 20 miles an hour lateral. Professional analysis of the test data showed there was no reduction (impairment or inhibition) of seat belt performance when a CG-Lock was installed.

Low speed tests showed better occupant stability for the seat belt with the CG-Lock installed under both frontal and lateral g (gravity) loads.
