Popis: The objective of this work is to develop a method of safe vehicle testing for compliance with the PN-EN 12642 standard. Vehicle tests can be carried out in a static and dynamic form. Dynamic tests better reflect the forces exerted by loads on the walls of the cargo space of vehicles. Heavy goods vehicles with certified walls of the cargo space ensure the safe transport of cargo in road traffic. Improper load securing is the cause of approximately 25% of truck accidents. Reducing the number of road accidents is the responsibility of each EU Member State. In Poland, the requirements for securing loads and appropriate vehicle construction have been introduced in the national regulations regarding the technical conditions of vehicles and their necessary equipment. The article presents the current legal status regarding cargo securing, as well as the designed and implemented solution and the method of safe conducting dynamic tests of vehicles in accordance with the PN-EN 12642 standard
