Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies specifically to the front and rear protective devices of M1 category vehicles (passenger cars). It covers components such as bumper skins, beams, energy-absorbing parts, and installed sensors. It is mandatory for all new and existing M1 vehicle type approvals in China, ensuring vehicle integrity during low-speed collisions.
Technical requirements
The standard mandates that after specified low-speed impact tests, critical vehicle systems must remain fully operational. Doors must not open during collision, and essential systems like steering, braking, and suspension must function normally. For lighting and signaling devices required by GB 4785, they must remain operational post-impact. The standard also introduces specific requirements for hybrid and pure electric vehicles, ensuring their charging and power systems remain leak-free and functional. Structural integrity is heavily emphasized; connections between the front/rear crossbeams and the body must not detach, and longitudinal beams must remain crack-free. Additionally, cameras and sensors mounted on the protective devices must not fall off. Manufacturers must ensure all these components withstand the specified impact velocities without compromising vehicle safety.
Testing methods
The standard outlines longitudinal and angular collision tests using a pendulum or moving trolley equipped with a specific impactor. The reference height is set at 450mm. Tests include longitudinal collisions at a specific speed in both vehicle curb mass and loaded mass states, as well as bumper corner collisions at a 60-degree angle. Engineers must verify that the vehicle meets all functional and structural requirements after each impact.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 17354-2024?
This standard applies specifically to M1 category vehicles (passenger cars). It regulates the design and performance of their front and rear protective devices, including bumpers, beams, and integrated sensors.
Are there any updates from the previous version of GB 17354?
The 2024 version replaces GB 17354-1998. Key updates include the addition of technical requirements for hybrid and pure electric vehicles, structural integrity mandates, and guidelines for cameras and sensors mounted on protective devices.
How is 'same type' judgment determined under this standard?
The standard defines a "same type" based on identical body model, bumper material and connection, engine/motor layout, and suspension structure. Changes in curb weight (up to an 8% increase) or a reduction in seats/sensors may still qualify as the same type.
