FMVSS No. 213 was substantially amended on July 5, 1995 to add a greater array of sizes and weights of test dummies for use in compliance tests, and on September 1, 1999, to require that child restraints be equipped with means for attaching to a new independent anchorage system. On June 24, 2003, FMVSS No. 213 was amended to incorporate improved test dummies and test procedures, and to extend the standard to apply to children who weigh up to 65 lbs. On February 27, 2012, FMVSS No. 213 was amended to incorporate a 10-year-old test dummy and to extend the standard to apply to children who weight up to 80 lbs. FMVSS No. 213 sets forth the performance requirements for many types of child restraint systems. It includes the testing provisions which are necessary to determine whether a restraint system meets those performance requirements. The test provisions include a dynamic sled test which simulates a vehicle striking a fixed barrier in a frontal impact, and the Federal Aviation Administration(FAA) Inversion Test. The test provisions also include materials tests, and an inspection of the restraint system's features. The purpose of this contract is to procure testing services, inspection services, and reports so that the Government can determine whether child restraint systems comply with the requirements of FMVSS No. 213.
