answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/04/2024 answer text <p>Euro NCAP does not issue certificates but provides motorists with objective information on the crash safety and driver assistance systems fitted to passenger cars. The 1-5 star rating system helps consumers compare the safety potential of different models, helping to include safety in their purchasing decision.</p><p>The testing protocols are reviewed periodically to reflect evolving technologies. As a member of Euro NCAP, the Department for Transport has a place on the Board of Directors, which meets three times per year and has a role in agreeing the strategic direction of the organisation and approving new protocols.</p> answering member printed Lord Davies of Gower question first answered 26/04/2024 11:08:05 answering member 4499 label Biography information for Lord Davies of Gower
