ECE Regulation No. 80 sets forth the uniform provisions concerning the approval of seats and their anchorages for large passenger vehicles. This regulation is essential to ensure that the seats in buses and coaches are designed, constructed, and installed to provide maximum safety for passengers. Properly designed and installed seats and anchorages significantly reduce the risk of injury or death in the event of a collision or sudden stop.

The regulation specifies technical standards for the design, construction, and performance of seats and their anchorages in large passenger vehicles. These standards ensure that seats and anchorages are strong, durable, and capable of withstanding significant impact forces. The regulation mandates that these components must be tested under various conditions, including frontal and rear collisions, to ensure they meet the required safety performance criteria.

Key aspects of the regulation include the positioning and strength of the seat anchorages, the ability of seats to withstand crash forces, and the integration of safety features such as seat belts. The tests include static and dynamic tests to measure the strength and durability of the seats and their anchorages, simulating real-world collision scenarios to verify their performance.

The TAT Lab in Iran is authorized to perform testing and certification for compliance with ECE Regulation No. 80. This includes conducting all necessary tests to ensure that seats and their anchorages in large passenger vehicles meet the specified standards for safety, performance, and durability. TAT Lab utilizes advanced testing equipment and methodologies to perform these tests accurately and efficiently. By performing these tests, TAT Lab helps enhance the safety of buses and coaches in Iran, ensuring that passenger seats and their anchorages provide effective protection in the event of a collision.
