Testing Facility

As the industry leader in restraints, we have developed dynamic testing protocols and procedures to perform the stringent tests necessary to meet both customer approvals and industry regulations. We comply with both SAE and FMVSS regulations. We have an FAA approved state-of-the-art facility where we conduct from 600 to 800 dynamic tests annually. What's more, this AmSafe testing site is so respected that many OEMs, airlines and seat manufacturers contact us directly to do their testing.

We also conduct extensive prototyping and testing of our textile products as part of the certification process. Products such as our aviation and specialty seatbelts, aviation airbags, and cargo restraint systems undergo rigorous testing, to include: tensile strength testing, endurance, flammability, corrosion, smoke, toxicity, susceptibility to fluids and substances, temperature, humidity, etc. In addition to material and component testing, full scale product testing takes place where practical; examples include pallet restraint nets, tie-down strap assemblies and bellyhold restraint nets. We provide all the documentation required by the regulatory authorities (EASA, FAA, DOT, MoD) that is necessary for the certification of the products manufactured by AmSafe.
