ECE Regulation No. 17 establishes uniform provisions for the approval of vehicles with regard to seats, their anchorages, and head restraints. This regulation is critical for ensuring the safety of vehicle occupants, requiring that seats and head restraints be designed, constructed, and installed in a manner that provides maximum protection in the event of a collision.

TAT Laboratory is authorized in Iran to perform tests and issue certifications for compliance with ECE Regulation No. 17. This includes conducting all necessary evaluations to ensure that vehicle seats, their anchorages, and head restraints meet the specified standards for safety, performance, and durability. TAT Laboratory utilizes advanced equipment and testing methods to carry out these assessments accurately and efficiently. Through these tests, TAT contributes to enhancing vehicle safety in Iran by ensuring that seats and head restraints provide effective protection for occupants in the event of a collision.

​

This regulation defines the technical standards for the design, construction, and performance of vehicle seats, their anchorages, and head restraints. These standards ensure that the seats and head restraints are strong, durable, and capable of withstanding significant impact forces. The regulation requires that these components be tested under various conditions to verify that they meet the necessary safety performance criteria.

​

This regulation mandates that seats and their anchorages must be capable of withstanding the forces experienced during a collision. This includes tests for forward displacement of the seat, the strength of the seat back, and its ability to remain securely attached to the vehicle structure. The regulation also addresses the design and performance of head restraints to ensure they provide effective protection against whiplash injuries. This includes specifications for the height, width, and positioning of the head restraints, as well as their energy-absorbing properties.

​

Comprehensive testing is required to ensure compliance with the regulation. This includes both static and dynamic tests to evaluate the strength, durability, and effectiveness of seats, anchorages, and head restraints. These tests simulate real-world crash scenarios to verify the performance of these components.
