The Head Restraint Measuring Device:
Developed and Manufactured in Canada
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has announced updated regulations that call for improved height and backset limits to head restraints in vehicles made after September 2008. The ICBC Head Restraint Measuring Device will be used to measure backset compliance. This device was developed and is manufactured in Canada by a group headed by CARSP members John Gane of ICBC, and Jocelyn Pedder of RONA Kinetics.
