TRL's Certification & Assurance division has introduced 5-star rating scheme for child restraint systems.
This scheme provides consumers with rigorous and independent performance ratings for all child restraint systems tested, enabling them to make comparisons and informed decisions on which product best meets their own requirements.
TRL’s independent rating scheme clearly presents individual products’ safety and usability performance to the market and is supported by retailers and the AA.
The star rating is based on a suite of tests to assess the front and side impact performance and the usability of the product. Performance information for each of these will be available to give added clarity.
