Abstract:

From the hardware industry perspective, since the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 350 has demonstrated that it is substantially more demanding in its safety requirements than its predecessor, NCHRP Report 230, no need is seen to make its requirements even more demanding than they are at present. Also, since it has been adequately demonstrated during the past several years that "350" compliant products can be designed, successfully tested, certified and successfully used on our roadways, the hardware industry certainly does not favor any kind of reduction in safety requirements (or testing criteria) of NCHRP Report 350. The industry does suggest that, in the interest of public safety, more stringent side impact protection in safety devices be developed and required for any modified "350" specification as it is considered for revision.
