Global NCAP assessment procedures include, ANCAP (Australia), EuroNCAP (European), USNCAP (United States), IIHS (USA Insurance Organization), CNCAP (China), JNCAP (Japan), KNCAP (Korea), LATINNCAP (Latin America), ASEANNCAP (Southeast Asia). In all NCAP organization, EuroNCAP influential. It was founded in 1997, its core members include ADAC (ADAC, some domestic manufacturers may hated it, but this body, but are very popular in Europe, and has a broad mass base and very high credibility), United Kingdom Department for transport, United Kingdom FIA Foundation, the German Ministry of transport, and so on.
NCAP for the promotion of car manufacturers to improve vehicle passive safety contributed. In crash tests conducted in the late 1990s, almost no cars can get results more than 3 stars, a situation two stars are common. But ten years later, even if the micro-car also has a lot more to get a high score of 5 stars.

specific content comprises about two, front and side impact. Frontal impact speed of 64 km / h, side collisionCollision speed of 50 km / h. Crash test scores by star (★) said a total of five stars, the higher the better-star crash safety performance of the car.
including star NCAP adult protection, child protection, pedestrian protection three parts. In general, adults will receive the protection of a score of 5 stars in 30 points or more, 25 to 29 minutes will receive 4 stars, 20 to 24 minutes of actual availability of 3 star …… Star rating not entirely by score conversion, such as a car although the overall low scores, but not fatally dummy, which stars may go up, the same way, although some models score is not low, but the dummy received a mortal wound, it might stars float downward. In addition, in the country’s controversial points in Euro NCAP also, such as seat belt reminders have generally 2 points.
Adult Protective highest rating is five stars, many mainstream manufacturers of executive-level and household-level cars have reached the 5-star standard, although even some of the latest compact miniature cars knocked out of 5 stars, but overall security level, large car than the small car still is an indisputable fact. Relatively good dynamic performance sports car, the higher is the security should be, but unfortunately, to date, not a sports car test won five star NCAP crash in Europe.
is the highest rating of 5 stars for child protection, but the title still unclaimed; the highest pedestrian protection rating is 4 stars, but unfortunately most of the car’s performance is only 1 to 2 stars, can achieve 3 star is already rare.
