ASEAN NCAP proposes standard crash safety label

ASEAN NCAP proposes standard crash safety label

Aside from releasing the latest crash test results yesterday, ASEAN NCAP has also introduced a new labelling guideline for carmakers. The move is meant to reduce consumer confusion regarding the safety information provided by these companies.

It is claimed that certain manufacturers have altered the designs of the rating plate designs provided by ASEAN NCAP, as well as publicising ratings from other New Car Assessment Programmes (NCAP) such as Euro NCAP and ANCAP, which the agency says may not reflect the safety specifications of vehicles offered in the ASEAN region.

The new labels incorporate the detailed safety features of the model and variant listed, as well as its ASEAN NCAP rating and those of other NCAP bodies. It is proposed that they will be pasted on the windscreen of model variants displayed in showrooms.

The Ministry of Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism (KPDNKK) has been consulted on the usage of the label in Malaysia, although ASEAN NCAP says the labels can be used in other countries in the region as well.

    This is not important. They must address the issue of cheating. Like Proton send a different car to NCAP for assessment then after assessment, they sell under spec car.

    Then got caught.

        We should stop sending Proton cars for testing since sales are so bad and after a whle, sales of Proton will stop for good once Geely cars start selling in Mesia

      that’s why they came out with saga plus after that. yes it’s a cheating case. after that they asean ncap will only test the lowest/cheapest spec avilable…so no miscommunication occur.

    For all intent & purpose, I think ANCAP should be done by a country preferably S’pore where they do not make/assemble the vehicles.

    This is to safeguard any questionable validations or conflict of interest. What say U guys ??!
