Partnering with Brands for FIA Homologated Racing Harness Production
In today's competitive motorsport supply chain, brands, distributors, and OEM partners need reliable suppliers who can deliver FIA 8853-2016 harnesses that meet strict international standards.
Redwood specializes in producing FIA approved racing harnesses, offering OEM and private-label partners fully homologated 6-point racing harness FIA solutions, from initial design and testing coordination to certification and volume production.
What Is FIA Certification?
The Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) defines global motorsport safety standards.
For brands and OEMs, using a Motorsport safety harness certification-compliant product is essential to meet competition requirements and maintain regulatory compliance.
Each FIA homologated seat belt harness must pass rigorous dynamic testing, including tensile strength, buckle performance, and material integrity. Redwood ensures that all harnesses produced for brand partners strictly adhere to these specifications, providing full confidence for market distribution.
Which Harness Does Formula 1 Require?
Top-tier motorsport categories mandate the use of 6-point racing harness FIA models.
For OEMs and distributors, understanding this requirement is critical when selecting a manufacturing partner.
Redwood's production lines deliver fully FIA approved racing harnesses that integrate seamlessly with modern HANS or FHR restraint systems, ensuring that partner brands can market compliant, competition-ready products.
How Long Is a Racing Harness Valid?
All FIA harnesses carry a label indicating their FIA harness expiry date 5 years from manufacture.
For B2B partners, this is a key consideration in inventory and lifecycle planning. Redwood provides guidance on harness replacement schedules and can assist with re-homologation processes, ensuring that products remain compliant throughout their operational lifespan.
Why FIA Only Approves Six-Point Harnesses Today
The current FIA 8853-2016 harness standard no longer recognizes four- or five-point designs for homologation.
Six-point harnesses distribute load more effectively and prevent dangerous submarining incidents during high-speed impacts.
For brands and OEMs, working with a supplier like Redwood guarantees that all harnesses meet the FIA approved racing harness configuration, avoiding costly compliance issues or market rejections.
