Sled Testing

FAA and EASA regulations compliant, AmSafe's state-of-the-art sled-test facility conducts between 600 and 1,000+ dynamic tests annually. Its world-class dynamic test facility is so well respected that many OEMs, airlines and seat manufacturers contract directly with AmSafe to test their products. The Federal Aviation Administration has found the AmSafe dynamic test facility to be acceptable for testing of seats to show compliance with the seat dynamic performance standards found in the applicable Federal Aviation Regulations.

Prototype Testing

Extensive prototyping and testing is performed as part of the development process. Items such as the aviation and specialty seatbelts, and seatbelt airbags undergo rigorous testing to include: tensile strength testing, endurance, flammability, corrosion, smoke, toxicity, susceptibility to fluids and substances, temperature, humidity, etc.

Full-scale testing

In addition to material and component testing, full-scale product testing is conducted where practical. Along with dynamic testing, all the necessary documentation required by the regulatory authorities (EASA, FAA, Transport Canada, etc.) is provided for the certification of the products manufactured by AmSafe.
