In Australia, vehicle safety ratings are provided by ANCAP whose procedures are similar to Euro NCAP.
In 2018, ANCAP adopted the Euro NCAP protocols, with the scoring tweaked to the local conditions.
Euro NCAP provides motoring consumers with a realistic and independent assessment of the safety performance of some of the most popular cars sold in Europe.
Established in 1997 and now backed by seven European Governments, the European Commission and motoring and consumer organisations in every EU country, Euro NCAP has rapidly become a catalyst for encouraging significant safety improvements to new car design.
One test program, IIHS, makes a four level rating: Good, Acceptable, Marginal and Poor.
