Headrest Strength Tester Equipment
Category：Seating Testers
Introduction
The Automobile Headrest Strength Tester is a dedicated testing system used to evaluate the static strength and load-bearing performance of automotive seat headrests under specified loading conditions.
By applying controlled static forces and accurately measuring displacement and deformation, the tester verifies whether headrests comply with national and international safety regulations.
It is widely used in automotive OEM validation, component supplier quality control, certification testing, and seat system R&D.
Application
(1) Static strength testing of automotive seat headrests.
(2) Load-bearing capacity verification of headrest structures under forward and backward forces.
(3) Displacement and deformation measurement of headrests under sustained static loads.
(4) Compliance testing for regulatory approval and type certification.
(5) Quality control inspection during mass production of seat headrests.
(6) Comparative strength testing of different headrest designs and materials.
(7) Structural optimization and design validation during headrest development.
(8) OEM internal standard testing for headrest safety performance.
Standards
(1) GB 11550-2009 – Automobile seat headrest strength requirements and test methods.
(2) GB 15083-2006 – Automobile seats, seat fixtures, and headrest strength requirements and test methods.
(3) ECE R17 – Strength and safety requirements for vehicle seats and head restraints.
(4) ECE R21 – Interior fittings safety requirements related to head impact protection.
(5) FMVSS 202 / FMVSS 207 – U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for head restraint strength and seating systems.
(6) OEM technical specifications and internal validation standards.
