Aware of the importance of taking into account criteria that make it easier, quicker and safer for emergency services to intervene in road accidents, Euro NCAP has decided to include a “post-crash” part among the 4 parts (boxes) of its vehicle classification regulations.
Euro NCAP's 2026 protocol, which follows on from the 2023 protocol concerning the criteria for awarding safety stars, now incorporates numerous aspects relating to tertiary safety, and very directly to the emergency services.
The availability of rescue sheets (RS) and emergency response guides (ERG) Rescue sheets are made available to Euro NCAP and must comply with the ISO 17840 standard (4 pages maximum). Rescue sheets must be translated into the 22 languages covering the Euro NCAP application zone. The aim of these measures is to make the rescue sheets available to rescuers directly on the scene, via the Euro Rescue application. .
