PSA R37 5000 Passenger Compartments Regulation Covering Parts and Components

The standard “PSA R37 5000 Passenger compartments regulation trim parts and components”, developed by the French automobile company Renault, describes the regulation features for the interior parts and components of the interior trim perimeter of the vehicle passenger compartment.

The list of selected regulatory requirements for this standard and the regulatory texts from which they are derived are set out in Table 1 on the following basis:

• Environment
  • E1: VHU (marking for recycling, prohibited materials, recyclability authorization)
  • E2: External noise (noise level)
  • E3: Internal noise
• Secondary security
  • S1: Interior equipment
  • S2: Trunk impact
  • S3: Frontal impact
  • S4: Lateral impact Europe
  • S5: Flammability of materials
  • S6: Symbols and warnings
  • S7: Belts and restraint systems
  • S8: Field of view
  • S9: Specificity for Germany
  • S10: Belt anchors
  • S11: Load securing
