STA SUB-COMMITEE ON ROAD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS CONCLUDES ANALYSIS

The STA Sub-Committee on Road Restraint Systems (RRS) has successfully concluded a body of research aiming at improving the testing and evaluation of Europe’s road safety systems.

In total, 12 STA members are active in the STA Sub-Committee and share the aim of i) securing compliance with EN standard EN1317 and ii) assessing the specific behaviour of RRS products in different conditions/applications. The two aforementioned issues are extraordinarily relevant it comes to the manufacturing and deployment of life-saving RRS.

To date the Sub-Committee has held 34 working meeting over the duration of the STA internal project. The final results of the analysis (and a number of accompanying proposals) are to be released soon and promise eye-opening insight into the actual safety performance of RRS products in the European market.
