Safety & Compliance

Engineered for Safety. Proven in the Field.

When it comes to building EMS vehicles, safety isn’t a box we check โ€” it’s part of the foundation. Every Frazer unit is built with structural integrity and occupant protection in mind, and validated through independent, third-party testing. Our vehicles meet or exceed industry safety standards, including those set by SAE, AMD, and FMVSS.

Tested & Verified Independent Crash Testing

Frazer units are tested by certified third-party facilities to evaluate how critical components perform under impact. This includes:

Component Standard Purpose
Seating & Restraints FMVSS 207 – 210 Ensures proper belts and anchorages are mounted sufficiently for crash protection
Patient Compartment Front, Side, and Rear Impact SAE J3026 Protects seated crew and passengers in crashes
Cot Integrity and Retention SAE J3027 Ensures the cot and patient stay secured when exposed to a frontal, side, or rear impact
Equipment Retention SAE J3043 Prevents consoles, oxygen tanks, fire extinguishers, and equipment mounts from becoming projectiles in crashes
Structural Mounting SAE J3057 Validates module structure and a secure module-to-chassis attachment
Interior Storage Compartment Integrity SAE J3058 Ensures storage cabinets are secured when exposed to a frontal, side, or rear impact
Structural Integrity To Compliant Cot Systems SAE J3102 Ensures the cot retention device stays secured when exposed to a frontal, side, or rear impact
Electrical, Environmental Systems, Floor Structure, and Road Readiness AMD Ensures vehicle and module safety performance across lighting, climate control, electrical systems, structural integrity, and driving functions
Compliance

Compliance Standards

Frazer vehicles are built to meet key safety benchmarks:

SAE

Society of Automotive Engineers

Crash testing for seating, structural mounts, and safety hardware

AMD

Ambulance Manufacturers Division

Ambulance-specific standards for patient compartment safety, electrical systems, and more

FMVSS

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards

Federal guidelines for vehicle components, including chassis and seatbelt systems

No Full-Vehicle Rollover Tests?

Some manufacturers promote dramatic rollover videos. While these may look impressive, full-vehicle rollover testing is not required for certification โ€” and doesn’t necessarily reflect compliance. Frazer focuses on data-driven testing of the systems that matter most to occupant safety.

How We Test

How We Test

Frazer partners with accredited testing labs that simulate real-world impact conditions. These tests verify that key systems hold up under force and comply with relevant safety standards. For example:

This component-specific approach reflects actual safety regulations โ€” and avoids relying on visuals alone.

In Their Words

Real-World Durability

Frazer units have been involved in serious on-road accidents โ€” including high-speed collisions and rollovers. In these real-world scenarios, our vehicles have demonstrated structural durability and continued to protect EMS personnel and patients during and after impact.

“Our unit was hit head-on and rolled. The chassis was totaled, but the module stayed intact โ€” and the crew walked away.”

Amy Y., Former Associate Director, CareFlite

“The truck barrel-rolled over twice. The module held up well and looked surprisingly good.”

Keith M., Former Chief, Gadsden County EMS

“One of our units rolled at least twice. Despite the severity, the Frazer module showed remarkable structural integrity.”

Steve K., Former EMS Director, Tri County EMS

What This Means For You

What This Means for You

When you choose a Frazer unit, you’re getting more than a certified design โ€” you’re getting confidence that the structure has been tested for real-world conditions. That means:
