Bonus items:—abolish the Bonus point for the safety belt reminder at driverside—abolish the bonus point for ISOFIX—add one pointfor ESC (1pt-2pts)

Add test requirements for vehicles with 2 seats and 2 doors

Improve the test index —abolish the 3ms acceleration Index , but add the viscosity index for dummy chest —quantitative evaluation of thesubmarine of dummy

Improve the rating system forwhiplash test —amend the calculation methodfor upper and lower neck —amend the limits for dynamicangle of seat back —amend the calculation methodfor the final scoring of whiplash test

Adjust the rating systemSet out higher threshold

Highlights of 2015 version protocol

– Larger barrier• Features of Chinese vehicles (average

dimensions\average frontal rigidity)• Impact of MDB to side crash test• Research and assessment of new side crash

test method– Pedestrian protection

• Division of headImpact area• Accumulation of FLEX legform test data• Design of evaluation method

– Research of other crash tests• Rollover test• Small overlap test• Pole side impact

Envisage the 2018 version protocol-passive safety

– Research of AEB testing and evaluation• Features of road traffic in China

• Vehicle AEB• Pedestrian AEB

– Complete vehicle• Crash test• Soaking• damage of insulation

– Electrical safety• possibility of firing and

explosion• Electrical shocking• Potential damage to

occupants

II. Additional Test-Fuel Consumption Test (2006-2014)

More stringent test requirements adopted by C-NCAP

Type approval test Vehicles already run in for

3000~15000km Coastdown coefficient provided by

manufacturers

C-NCAP test New vehicles without being run

in Coastdown coefficient specifed

in the standard
