Screens integrated into coach seats: Safety certifications.

Entertainment on the move: an ingredients path for success.

Multimedia entertainment systems have now become a fundamental element to ensure a passenger transport service in step with the times .

Although the attention of the operators is rightly directed to the general level of safety of the means of transport, the screens integrated in the seats provide the passenger with a feeling of comfort associated with higher levels of service.

In this sector, therefore, the challenge of coach manufacturers and operators is to offer passengers safe and reliable equipment. In fact, everything that is installed on board vehicles for passenger transport, urban as well as inter-urban and grand tourism, must comply with very strict European standards .

Certifications required for on-board screens integrated into the seats

“E” brand: Maximum reliability

It is a mandatory safety mark in the European Union necessary for all vehicles intended for passenger transport and electronic and non-electronic devices installed on board by both manufacturers and operators.

This certificate is issued only by specialized laboratories which carry out all the tests necessary to ensure that every single component of the vehicle or particular equipment complies with Community safety standards.

Impact test. Passenger safety ensured

This type of tests are performed to ensure the physical safety of passengers in the event of an accident and are carried out using the famous yellow dummies (Crashtest Dummies) that are so familiar to us from the automotive market.

As can be seen in the figure below, after various impact tests at increasing speeds, the devices are analyzed and evaluated on the basis of the relative degree of safety for the passenger.

Only by passing all the tests it is possible to obtain the certificate of approval to European safety standards.
