Alongside MIRA’s dynamic and durability test facilities our Body Structures Laboratory conducts testing for all aspects of safety and development for vehicle seating.
Our seat belt anchorage test rig is a very high specification computer controlled servo-hydraulic rig capable of applying controlled loads very quickly to the seat assembly to check the integrity of the seat fixings and the attachments of the seat belts into the vehicle.
Alongside this we can also offer seat back moment or ‘anti-whiplash’ testing to single, double or triple seats using our computer controlled loading rig, and impact tests using our headform pendulum rig which is available with high speed digital video recording.
MIRA’s seat safety testing facilities are all approved to ISO 17025 and are approved as a technical service through RDW and our in-house certification department.
MIRA’s body structures laboratory can offer the following occupant safety development or certification tests:
A comprehensive list of the tests offered by MIRA's body structures department can be found on the Body Structures Tests web page.
