Given its 10 years of experience, does Euro NCAP have any advice to give other countries that are in the process of establishing similar organisations?
NCAP organisations exist in the USA, Japan, Korea and Australia, as well as Europe. To be effective, the test and assessment protocols need to be scientifically sound and they should be recognised as such by the car manufacturers. The body needs to be independent from commercial interests and ideally independent of government control. This is achieved in Euro NCAP by having members from different governments and other bodies.
