Going forward, they are firm on making their new car assessment tests ever more challenging to assure the best safety in cars. From July 2022, the Global NCAP will implement these new protocols that include some additional tests and tougher measurables. The premise of these protocols will be 2002 Euro NCAP or 2016 Latin NCAP, however, the tests will include modern and contemporary technologies to suit the current requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"simpletoc-title\">Table of Contents<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"simpletoc-list\">\n\n<li><a href=\"#for-adult-safety\">For Adult Safety<\/a>\n\n\n<\/li>\n\n<\/li>\n\n<li><a href=\"#scoring\">Scoring<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#additional-requirements-for-3-4-and-5star-rating\">Additional requirements for 3, 4, and 5-Star rating<\/a>\n\n\n<\/li>\n\n<\/li>\n\n<li><a href=\"#faqs\">FAQs<\/a>\n<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-new-protocols-will-include\">The new protocols will include:<\/h3>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A 64 km\/hr offset deformable barrier frontal impact with some evaluation modifications.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A 54 km\/hr MDB side impact test: A running deformable barrier hitting the car from the side.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Front and rear seat belt reminders<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Electronic Stability Control<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pedestrian protection<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A side pole test for side head protection: The car will be propelled sideways at 29 km\/hr at a right angle (90-degree) against a rigid pole.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Child occupant protection will see numerous changes.

In the new side-impact test, while the barrier, speed, and impact location will be the same, the dummy will be positioned differently and there will be child dummies in the back seats in the recommended child seats.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Points according to the body regions in the side impact are:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Head: 4 points<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chest: 4 points<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abdomen: 4 points<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pelvis: 4 points<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, the cars will be penalised for incorrect airbag deployment, and for taking advantage of weak dummy anthropometry. This refers to using the parts of the dummy to transmit forces that are not present in a human body. If a door opens during the test, then scores will be penalised by only one point.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"seat-belt-reminders\">Seat Belt reminders<\/h3>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of just one point for seat belt reminders, now, there will be two points for seat belt reminders, one for front occupants and one for seat belt reminders for rear occupants. The one point for front occupants is distributed as 0.5 for the driver and 0.5 for all front passengers combined. For example, Maruti Wagon R: 0.5 for driver + 0.5 for the front passenger.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The point for the rear seatbelt reminder will be awarded only if the front seatbelt reminder scores 1 point.

If the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dummy readings signal a high risk of life-threatening injury for a critical body region in either the front or side impacts, the car will lose points for that particular impact. The car will also be awarded a 0-Star rating, regardless of its score.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If it\u2019s found that even after applying penalties a body region shows poor protection (red), the star rating will be capped at one star.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the case of SUVs and pickup trucks, it was noticed that many of them scored well in the side impact due to heightened driver&#8217;s seats and the aggregated scores earned them adequate star ratings despite very bad frontal impact performance. Henceforth, from now on, if there is more than a 35% difference between the front and side-impact scores, the rating is reduced by one star.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"additional-requirements-for-3-4-and-5star-rating\">Additional requirements for 3, 4, and 5-Star rating<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To score a 3 or above-Star rating, the cars will have to fulfil some other safety aspects.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pedestrian-protection\">Pedestrian Protection<\/h3>\n\n\n<p><b>The pedestrian protection device<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> must be fitted as standard as a requirement for 3, 4, and 5 stars, and the car must pass the relevant UN regulation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"electronic-stability-control\">Electronic Stability Control<\/h3>\n\n\n<p><b>Electronic Stability Control (ESC)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will be evaluated using the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pZEqLyyPII4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sine-dwell test<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with a steering robot to make sure of repeatable results regardless of the driver.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-wptb-table-block\"><div class=\"wptb-container-legacy\" data-table-id=\"499697\">\n    <table class=\"wptb-preview-table wptb-element-main-table_setting-499697 edit-active\" data-reconstraction=\"0\" style=\"border: 1px solid rgb(209, 209, 209);\" data-wptb-table-tds-sum-max-width=\"394.4847315\" data-wptb-cells-width-auto-count=\"3\" data-wptb-extra-styles=\"LyogRW50ZXIgeW91ciBjdXN0b20gQ1NTIHJ1bGVzIGhlcmUgKi8=\" role=\"table\" data-wptb-fixed-width-size=\"0\" data-table-columns=\"3\"><tbody><tr class=\"wptb-row\"><td class=\"wptb-cell\" data-y-index=\"0\" data-x-index=\"0\" style=\"border: 1px solid rgb(209, 209, 209);\" data-wptb-css-td-auto-width=\"true\" colspan=\"3\" rowspan=\"1\"><div class=\"wptb-text-container wptb-ph-element wptb-element-text-3\" style=\"color: rgb(74, 85, 104); font-size: 15px;\"><div class=\"\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Conditions for ESC to earn 3, 4, and 5 Stars<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td><\/tr><tr class=\"wptb-row\"><td class=\"wptb-cell\" data-y-index=\"1\" data-x-index=\"0\" style=\"border: 1px solid rgb(209, 209, 209);\" data-wptb-css-td-auto-width=\"true\"><div class=\"wptb-text-container wptb-ph-element wptb-element-text-4\" style=\"color: rgb(74, 85, 104); font-size: 15px;\"><div class=\"\" style=\"position: relative;\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong> 5 Stars<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td><td class=\"wptb-cell\" data-y-index=\"1\" data-x-index=\"1\" style=\"border: 1px solid rgb(209, 209, 209);\" data-wptb-css-td-auto-width=\"true\"><div class=\"wptb-text-container wptb-ph-element wptb-element-text-5\" style=\"color: rgb(74, 85, 104); font-size: 15px;\"><div class=\"\" style=\"position: relative;\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>4 Stars<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td><td class=\"wptb-cell\" data-y-index=\"1\" data-x-index=\"2\" style=\"border: 1px solid rgb(209, 209, 209);\" data-wptb-css-td-auto-width=\"true\"><div class=\"wptb-text-container wptb-ph-element wptb-element-text-6\" style=\"color: rgb(74, 85, 104); font-size: 15px;\"><div class=\"\" style=\"position: relative;\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>3 Stars<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td><\/tr><tr class=\"wptb-row\"><td class=\"wptb-cell\" data-y-index=\"2\" data-x-index=\"0\" style=\"border: 1px solid rgb(209, 209, 209);\" data-wptb-css-td-auto-width=\"true\"><div class=\"wptb-text-container wptb-ph-element wptb-element-text-7\" style=\"color: rgb(74, 85, 104); font-size: 15px;\"><div class=\"\" style=\"position: relative;\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Mandatory ESC in all units of the best-selling variant of the car, or the total sales volume of ESC should be equal to the number of units of the best-selling variant.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td><td class=\"wptb-cell\" data-y-index=\"2\" data-x-index=\"1\" style=\"border: 1px solid rgb(209, 209, 209);\" data-wptb-css-td-auto-width=\"true\"><div class=\"wptb-text-container wptb-ph-element wptb-element-text-8\" style=\"color: rgb(74, 85, 104); font-size: 15px;\"><div class=\"\" style=\"position: relative;\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Same requirements as for 5 Stars<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td><td class=\"wptb-cell\" data-y-index=\"2\" data-x-index=\"2\" style=\"border: 1px solid rgb(209, 209, 209);\" data-wptb-css-td-auto-width=\"true\"><div class=\"wptb-text-container wptb-ph-element wptb-element-text-9\" style=\"color: rgb(74, 85, 104); font-size: 15px;\"><div class=\"\" style=\"position: relative;\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\">In 2022 and 2023 there must be optional ESC on at least one variant.

Moreover, points for the head, neck, and chest should be satisfactory. The rear seat belt reminders could help the car achieve a higher star rating, but is not a mandatory requirement.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are the new Global NCAP protocols<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/static1.squarespace.com\/static\/5fb4ea8933ae6c208c3dac41\/t\/60dd9dcc867a9d19d3762b66\/1625136594629\/assessment+protocol+Adult+2021.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adult Occupant Protection<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/static1.squarespace.com\/static\/5fb4ea8933ae6c208c3dac41\/t\/60dd9e20dbf3e8459e3ef595\/1625136679081\/assessment+protocol+Child+2021.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Child Occupant Protection<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faqs\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n        <section class=\"sc_fs_faq sc_card no-rules\">\n            <div>\n\t\t\t\t<h3>What is the Global NCAP test?<\/h3>                <div>\n\t\t\t\t\t                    <p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Global New Car Assessment Programme: G-NCAP is a F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA)-funded body, which evaluates the crashworthiness of a car via some crash tests set with various vital parameters.                    <\/p>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\t\t        <section class=\"sc_fs_faq sc_card no-rules\">\n            <div>\n\t\t\t\t<h3>What is a side pole test?<\/h3>                <div>\n\t\t\t\t\t                    <p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tIn the side pole test, the car is propelled sideways at a specific speed against a rigid, narrow pole.                    <\/p>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\t\t        <section class=\"sc_fs_faq sc_card no-rules\">\n            <div>\n\t\t\t\t<h3>How many tests does Global NCAP do?<\/h3>                <div>\n\t\t\t\t\t                    <p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Global NCAP has been doing only front offset crash tests so far.
