Safety Testing
Rigorous testing standards ensuring passenger protection in every journey.
In-House Crash Testing Facility
Tower Industry is one of the few bus seat manufacturers with its own dedicated crash testing laboratory. This allows us to test our designs continuously during the development phase, ensuring that the final product not only meets but exceeds safety regulations.
Our testing procedures are aligned with international standards, including the rigorous ECE R80 regulation for seats in large passenger vehicles. We partner with accredited third-party laboratories to ensure our products meet global safety requirements.
Global Certification Standards
- USA (FMVSS):FMVSS 207 (Seating Systems), FMVSS 210 (Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages)
- Europe (ECE):ECE R80 (Seats of Large Passenger Vehicles), ECE R14 (Safety Belt Anchorages)
- Australia (ADR):ADR 68 (Occupant Protection in Buses)
Testing in Action
Static Load Testing
Hydraulic tensile testing of seat frames and anchorage points to verify yield strength and deformation limits.
Impact Analysis
Detailed analysis of deformation zones to ensure passenger survival space is maintained.
Component Durability
Cycle testing of reclining mechanisms, armrests, and other moving parts for long-term reliability.
Certification Reports
Comprehensive documentation and test reports provided for vehicle homologation.
