Camera monitor system testing

Vehicles with front-mounted implements and a front dimension of more than 3.5 m result in a restricted field of vision for the vehicle driver. The limited visibility to the left and right, e.g. due to hedges, walls or buildings, can lead to cross traffic being seen too late at intersections and junctions. Serious accidents can be the result. Suitable camera-monitor systems are a practical solution here. The DLG test for camera-monitor systems offers manufacturers a comprehensive practical test.

The test frame for front camera-monitor systems ensures legally compliant use in accordance with the recommendation of the German Federal Transport Gazette (Bundesverkehrsblatt). The test is divided into an evaluation of the actual camera-monitor system as well as its mounting and adaptation to the respective vehicle or front implement. Camera-monitor systems that pass the DLG test receive the DLG-ANERKANNT (DLG-APPROVED) overall test quality award.
