The test protocol covers three relevant crash scenarios for a dog crate: frontal impact, rear impact and a corner-drop test designed to replicate the effects of a vehicle rollover. The crash pulse used is based on ECE Regulation No. 17.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe built-in deformation zone is designed to allow controlled compression along the vehicle's crumple zone during a collision, helping reduce the risk of direct impact being transferred towards rear-seat passengers. The crate is designed to be shockproof in all directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VarioCage should be installed behind the vehicle's rear seat and secured to the vehicle's cargo loops. When installing the crate, use at least two straps to secure it in the boot and prevent movement during transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a collision, the VarioCage should be taken out of use.
