Kurzschreibung des Geltungsbereichs

Dynamische Crashversuche an Kraftfahrzeugen und deren Komponenten zur Untersuchung des Karosserieverhaltens und des Insassenschutzes, der Sicherheit von Lenkanlagen, des Brandschutzes und der Widerstandsfähigkeit von Tanksystemen und elektrischen Energiespeichern bei Unfallstößen sowie die Bewertung des Aufprallschutzes im Innenraum; Quasistatische Versuche an Kraftfahrzeugen und deren Komponenten zur Untersuchung der Widerstandskraft von Verankerungen von Haltesystemen beim Aufprall; Dynamische Schlittenversuche zur Beurteilung der Widerstandsfähigkeit von Komponenten des Insassenschutzsystems und der Festigkeit von Karosserie, Sitzen und Kopfstützen bei Unfallstößen

Short description of the scope (machine translation)

Dynamic crash tests on motor vehicles and their components to investigate body behavior and occupant protection, the safety of steering systems, fire protection and the resistance of fuel systems and electrical energy storage systems in the event of accident impacts, as well as the evaluation of impact protection in the passenger compartment; Quasi-static safety tests on motor vehicles and their components to investigate the resistance of restraint system anchorages in the event of an impact; Dynamic sled tests to assess the resistance of occupant protection system components and the strength of bodywork, seats and head restraints in the event of accident impacts

Note on the certificate status

In addition to the currently valid accreditations, the database of accredited bodies also contains information on withdrawn and suspended accreditation certificates. The status of an accreditation is displayed in the search results. The filter “certificate status” enables a limitation of the search results.

  • Active: These accreditations are valid without restrictions.
  • Suspended: These accreditations are temporarily restricted, either in full (“fully suspended”) or for part of the scope of the accreditation (“partially suspended”).
  • Withdrawn: These accreditations have been withdrawn for the entire scope in the past six months.

Suspension or withdrawal of accreditation occurs, among other things, when an accredited conformity assessment body no longer fulfils the relevant conditions for accreditation, does not comply with the requirements placed on it, does not follow the accreditation rules or has voluntarily requested suspension or withdrawal.

The requirement to make the status of an accreditation publicly available results from the standard ISO/IEC 17011, which DAkkS is obliged to comply with.
