ISO 18543 Pedestrian Impact Laboratory Testing Service by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

ISO 18543 is a laboratory test standard that evaluates the impact performance of vehicles in pedestrian-related accidents. The standard is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is used worldwide as a reference for testing and evaluation.

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding this testing service is governed by various international and national standards, including:

  • ISO 18543:2018 - Pedestrian impact test
  • ASTM F2917-17 - Standard Test Method for Impact Attenuation of Roadway Surfaces Using the Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWDT)
  • EN 1317-5:2000 - Impact tests on protective structures
  • TSE IEC 60068-2-6:2011 - Environmental testing, Part 2: Tests - Test fc: Vibration (sinusoidal)
  • Standard development organizations play a crucial role in creating and updating standards. The ISO Technical Committee 22 (TC 22) is responsible for the development of ISO 18543.

    Standards evolve over time to reflect advancements in technology and changes in regulatory requirements. The standards scope includes pedestrian impact testing on various types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, buses, and motorcycles.

    Industry-specific compliance requirements vary depending on the country and region. For example:

  • In Europe, vehicles must comply with Regulation (EU) 2019/316, which requires pedestrian-friendly designs.
  • In North America, vehicles are regulated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
  • Standard Requirements and Needs
