Vehicle safety rating labels can be printed by motor vehicle dealers and displayed on cars for sale, providing consumers with simple information about a vehicle’s safety performance when they’re making their next purchase, and helping people to stay safe on our roads.
The safety rating label sits alongside the Vehicle Emissions and Energy Economy Label (VEEEL), which is administered by EECA (Energy Efficiency & Conservation Authority). The VEEEL informs customers of a vehicle's emissions and energy consumption, making it easier to identify a vehicle that's better for the environment.
When traders generate labels for their vehicles, they can automatically generate a safety rating label for display alongside the VEEEL, so look out for both.
It’s easy for registered motor vehicle dealers to print safety rating information for a vehicle by going to the label generator on EECA’s website and following the instructions.

Safety ratings are the best indication of how your vehicle is likely to perform in a crash. Safety ratings range from 1 to 5-stars, the safest vehicles have 5-star safety ratings while less safe vehicles have a 1-star rating.
