Australia has a mandatory Child Restraint Standard (AS/NZS 1754). Child Restraints designed to meet FMVSS 213 and ECE R44 & R129 can be converted to meet this standard.
We have been converting FMVSS 213 and R44 & R129 child restraints for 20 years including product from USA, European and Chinese manufacturers.
We cover all aspects of this work, including:
R&D
Evaluate the dynamic (crash) performance of the restraint in order to establish if any modifications are required. As AS/NZS 1754 requires a higher performance level in some areas than FMVSS 213 or R44, modifications may be required
Modifications
Full CAD service to provide engineering drawings for new parts as required
Final Testing
Final Testing
Supervise compliance testing programs run at test lab.
Arrange all materials testing (flammability, toxicity, labels durability, sharp edges & projections, etc as required).
Printing
Full development of printed material including instruction manuals, labels, carton mandatory information, swing tags, etc.

Quality Plan
Quality Plan
All child restraints sold in the Australian market must be manufactured in a factory under a Quality Assurance system specified by the QA auditing body SAL Global. This is approximately equal to ISO 9001 but contains some child restraint specific requirements.
We write the Quality Plan and assist with factory audits.
Project Management
Full project management service provided.
