Child Restraint Systems, commonly known as car seats, are essential devices for the safety of children while traveling in vehicles. In Uruguay, their certification is mandatory under Decree 81/2014, and LSQA is accredited by the Uruguayan Accreditation Body (OUA) to carry out this process.
Certification of these products is essential because:
- Ensures the device meets established safety requirements, including impact, strength, and restraint tests.
- Protects children’s lives and physical integrity by ensuring proper use according to age, weight, and height.
- Is a requirement for the legal commercialization of CRS in the country, providing support to manufacturers, importers, and distributors.
- Builds confidence among families, knowing the product has been evaluated by an independent technical body.
- Contributes to compliance with traffic and road safety regulations in Uruguay, aligning with international standards.
LSQA certifies these products through a process that includes document review, verification of the manufacturer’s quality system, and technical tests carried out in recognized laboratories.
