iRAP Veiligheidscertificering
De Wereldwijd plan voor het decennium van actie voor verkeersveiligheid 2021-2030 sets a target of a 50% reduction in road deaths and injuries, and encourages countries to set ambitious Star Rating targets for road networks and designs.
Star Rating Certification can help road owners celebrate the life-saving impact of their investments in safer roads and raise awareness about their commitment to the Global Plan and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
What is Star Rating Certification?
Elke weg of elk ontwerp dat is beoordeeld met behulp van de iRAP Sterrenbeoordelingsmethodologie is eligible for Star Rating Certification. Certification is a voluntary process and can be performed for vehicle occupants, motorcyclists, pedestrians and/or bicyclists.
Bijvoorbeeld:
- Een wegbeheerder kan een sterrenclassificatie aanvragen voor een weggedeelte dat momenteel minimaal 3 sterren behaalt voor de veiligheid van inzittenden van voertuigen;
- Een gemeente kan een sterrenclassificatie aanvragen voor de herinrichting van een straat die een 5-sterrenclassificatie behaalt voor voetgangers en fietsers; of
- Een exploitant van een concessieweg kan een certificaat aanvragen voor de verdeling van de sterrenbeoordelingen voor inzittenden van voertuigen en motorrijders over zijn netwerk.
Certification can be provided for whole and decimal Star Ratings, for example certifying a safety improvement from 3.2 to 3.7 stars.
As part of the Star Rating Certification process, Star Rating results for the road or design will be reviewed by experts in the iRAP Team. Once the Star Ratings are certified, iRAP will issue:
- A Star Rating Certificate.
- A Star Rating Certificate Data Sheet, which contains details of the road or design that has been certified.
- A licence for use of the Star Rating Certification Branding in communications (such as newspaper advertising, brochures, social media posts and roadside billboards and signage).
A communications plan may also be agreed between iRAP and the applicant to support promotion of the Star Rating Certification to iRAP’s more than 20,000 partners around the world and celebrate success!

What is the Certification process?
Prior to applying for Star Rating Certification, Star Rating results must have already been produced for the road or design in accordance with iRAP Specifications. The steps for Certification are:
- Applicant submits request for Star Rating Certification
- Application is received by iRAP and a technical, communications and financial plan is agreed with the applicant.
- Star Rating results are reviewed by experts in the iRAP Team.
- Certification is awarded.
What is the fee for Certification and how long does it take?
The cost and time needed for Star Rating Certification may vary depending on several factors including length and complexity of the road or design, the quality of the original Star Rating assessment, availability of supporting documentation and communications activities. Generally, once a technical, communications and financial plan is agreed, the Certification process can be completed within 1 week.

- Hold a ceremony to officially award the Certificate and/or cut ribbon on the newly improved road, creating photo opportunities for key stakeholders.
- Make announcements in iRAP and applicant communications via social media and websites – iRAP communications can reach more than 20,000 partners around the world.
- Produce roadside billboards to advertise to road users that they are using a 3, 4 or 5-star road.
- Produce opinion articles and advertisements celebrating the achievement in journals and news media.

Review Panel
If there is an irreconcilable disagreement about the outcome of a Certification review, such as when experts in the iRAP Team are unable to certify the Star Ratings produced by the applicant, a Review Panel may be formed to verify results. The applicant is required to meet the costs of this panel process.
