AutoSafe™ Final Report

A clear outcome needs a complete evidence record.

AutoSafe™ Final Report & Transparency Package

The proposed AutoSafe™ report package is the structured documentation intended to connect detailed technical evidence with a clear class decision. It transforms hundreds of data points into a traceable, auditable, and user-friendly safety record for each vehicle.

Following programme release, an eligible assessed configuration may receive a Vehicle Test and Rating Certificate and supporting report. The current Draft for Technical Review does not yet authorise operational certificates, ratings or labels.

Report Output Formats
  • Proposed controlled PDF certificate and report.
  • Proposed public scorecard and verification view.
  • Structured data output where operationally approved.
After release, certificate, scorecard and label register would share one authoritative rating identity and verification reference.
Required Technical Report Content

The proposed report structure is designed to make the scope and class understandable while preserving traceability from each decision to its evidence.

# Section Purpose
1 Vehicle Technical Summary Rating record and revision; make, model, generation, configuration family, market, production boundary, protocol edition, issue date, class, qualifying conditions, approving authority and the referenced coverage schedule for safety package, drive side, powertrain, energy storage, seating, relevant software and exclusions.
2 Evaluation Overview Test labs, dates, applied methods and high-level scope of the assessment.
3 Domain Score Summary Results for all twelve domains within the proposed 1,000-point schedule.
4 Modifiers, Gates & Class Calculation Released modifiers, common and class-specific gate outcomes, limiting conditions and reproducible class calculation.
5 Final Rating & AutoSafe™ Class Total points, domain floors, gate status, A–F class and configuration statement.
6 Crash & Occupant Protection Sections Detailed structural, biomechanical and CRS performance charts.
7 Active & VRU Safety Sections AEB, lane support, ISA/ACC and VRU scenario performance details.
8 Test Register, Evidence & Equivalence Records Complete test register, raw-data references, validity decisions, deviations, evidence equivalences and applicable technology branches.
1. Vehicle Technical Summary ID
Record identity, revision, configuration boundary, edition, decision and approving authority.
2. Evaluation Overview Labs, dates & methods used.
3. Domain Score Summary Twelve-domain point and floor summary.
4. Penalties & Caps Released modifiers, gates and limiting conditions.
5. Final Rating & Class Class decision and configuration status.
6–8. Detailed Annexes Test register, raw-data references, validity, twelve-domain calculations, gates, deviations and equivalence decisions.

Revision & Correction History

The certificate, public scorecard and label register share one authoritative record identity. A correction creates a visible revision and reason; the earlier document is marked superseded or corrected rather than silently replaced.

This presentation is an illustrative website layout. The controlling report content is defined by Clause 27.4 and the released record formats; no blank specimen represents an issued certificate.

Tailored Views by Audience

The same core report supports three main audiences with different depth levels.

Consumers
See the AutoSafe™ class, total score, domain chart and a plain-language summary of the vehicle’s main strengths and limitations.
Manufacturers & Importers
Access the applicable test register, raw-data references, validity decisions, modifiers, gate outcomes, deviations, evidence-equivalence decisions and class calculation under controlled access.
Regulators & Fleet Operators
Use machine-readable data for procurement criteria, regulatory monitoring, fleet risk models and long-term safety analytics.

Sensitive cybersecurity and EV abuse data are restricted to authorized parties, while the public report keeps all rating decisions transparent at a high level.

Short Notes About the Final Report
What establishes an official report?
After operational release, a report is official only when issued after an independent decision, linked to the authoritative rating identity and supported by the required scope, evidence and revision records. Current examples are not issued certificates.
How do users verify authenticity?
When operationally authorised, a QR record may link the certificate and assessed configuration to the official IAF record.
When is a report updated?
Major software or hardware changes (facelifts, major OTA updates) trigger a re-evaluation or a documented carry-over assessment.
How do manufacturers use it internally?
Applicants may use the report to understand findings for the assessed configuration family and to plan evidence for controlled changes; it does not create a platform-wide class.
From Report to Label

AutoSafe™ Consumer Safety Label

The proposed certificate and supporting report would form the technical basis of any authorised label. The certificate has no scheduled calendar expiry; relevant technical changes trigger review.

IAF AUTOSAFE First Edition

Draft for Technical Review. Consult the full standard for the twelve-domain schedule, evidence rules, mandatory gates and proposed class thresholds.
