Repairability Working Group
Mission/Goal
- Establish standards for evaluating the damageability of vehicles in low and high-speed crashes
- Occupant safety and energy management in the repair scenario
- Calibration of Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS)
- Review vehicle design collectively, incorporating knowledge and expertise of participating members to help in the following areas:
- Vehicle manufacturers need to understand the need for a consistent approach to ensure repairability is considered during vehicle design
- Based on global vehicle designs, repairability considerations should be based on the same premise
- Repairability options should incorporate a common sense approach that provides repairers worldwide with the ability to safely return a vehicle to pre-loss condition
- Repairability options should be based on prescribed training, tooling and expertise that can be applied on a global basis in car repair workshops
- Engage vehicle manufactures to pro-actively share knowledge and ideas to collectively develop repair options and alternatives
