Testing & Certification

Tested to ISO/PAS 11154:2006 Road vehicles -- Roof load carriers

 

 

 

 

In 2015 Revo-Rack was independently safety tested and evaluated by TUV Italy. Part of the global TUV testing and certification group. Please see TUV Sud

ISO PAS 11154:2006 specifies the minimum safety requirements for all roof load carriers intended for mounting on or above the roofs of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles with a maximum authorized total mass up to 3,5 t (ISO M08) as defined in ISO 1176. See ISO:11154. Revo-Rack passed these tests / standard.

There is no standard for luggage racks. We believe it's the only convertible luggage rack for sale globally that has passed these safety and load tests. It also passed the European Directive for the General Safety 2002/95/CE.

 

Revo-Rack is officially , safe secure and stable.

 

Revo-Rack is more secure we think than a traditional luggage rack that uses relatively small clamps on the boot/trunk lid edge ; and thus spreads the load of the rack over a very small area. With three 120mm vacuum cups Revo-Rack spreads the load over almost 300cm square / 40" square.

 

The testing / certification process included ;

 

• Driving with the Revo-Rack attached at over 200km/h / 125mph at the Porsche Nardo test track in Southern Italy with a 20kg/45lbs load

 

• Driving on the infamous Belgium block paved road with the rack secured again loaded with 20kg/45lbs load

 

• Emergency braking tests from 80kph/50mph - loaded with 20kg/45lbs the rack stayed secure

 

• Speed tests at 130km/h 180km/h 80mph/110mph

 

• 10 minute pulling force assessment with 645N applied approx 65kg/145lbs to the loaded rack. The rack stayed attached and did not bend or deform.

 

We believe Revo-Rack is the only convertible luggage rack for sale globally that has passed these safety tests.
