The New Car Assessment Program for Southeast Asia, or known as ASEAN NCAP, is an automobile safety rating program jointly established by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) and Global New Car Assessment Program (Global NCAP) upon a collaborative MoU signed by both parties during the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile) Foundation Annual General Assembly in New Delhi, India on 7 December 2011.[1]

In January 2013, ASEAN NCAP has published the program's first phase results involving seven popular models in the ASEAN region’s market. At this stage, two separate assessments conducted in the rating scheme which are the Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) by star-rating and Child Occupant Protection (COP) by percentage-based rating.

## Testing

[edit]

Due to the high number of deaths on motorcycles in the region, ASEAN NCAP began prioritizing biker safety from 2017.[5]

## Malaysia

[edit]

Since March 2020, it is mandatory to show a safety label with all display vehicles for sale in Malaysia. The printed information must show the ASEAN NCAP safety rating. Other NCAP safety ratings may also be shown in addition to the ASEAN NCAP safety rating. If the ASEAN NCAP rating has not yet been determined then other NCAP safety ratings may be used but only with approval from ASEAN NCAP – who will verify that the other NCAP rating is appropriate for this model.[6][7]
