The New Car Assessment Program for Southeast Asia, or known as ASEAN NCAP, is an automobile safety rating program jointly established by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) and Global New Car Assessment Program (Global NCAP) upon a collaborative MoU signed by both parties during the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile) Foundation Annual General Assembly in New Delhi, India on 7 December 2011.{{cite web

Due to the high number of deaths on motorcycles in the region, ASEAN NCAP began prioritizing biker safety from 2017.{{Cite news |url=https://paultan.org/2018/03/07/asean-ncap-organises-first-blind-spot-monitor-test/ |title=ASEAN NCAP organises first blind spot monitor test |first=Jonathan |last=Lee |work=paultan.org|date=March 7, 2018 |access-date=2022-07-31}}

Malaysia

Since March 2020, it is mandatory to show a safety label with all display vehicles for sale in Malaysia. The printed information must show the ASEAN NCAP safety rating. Other NCAP safety ratings may also be shown in addition to the ASEAN NCAP safety rating. If the ASEAN NCAP rating has not yet been determined then other NCAP safety ratings may be used but only with approval from ASEAN NCAP – who will verify that the other NCAP rating is appropriate for this model.{{Cite news |url=https://paultan.org/2020/05/18/asean-ncap-and-kpdnhep-mandatory-safety-rating-labels-begin-appearing-on-new-cars-in-showrooms/ |title=ASEAN NCAP and KPDNHEP mandatory safety rating labels begin appearing on new cars in showrooms |first=Anthony |last=Lim |work=paultan.org |date=May 18, 2020 |access-date=2023-12-19}}{{cite web |url=https://aseancap.org/v2/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/ASEAN-NCAP-Labelling-Guideline-for-Manufacturer_Malaysia-Only_July-2020.pdf |title=ASEAN NCAP labelling guideline for manufacturer (Malaysia only) Version 1.2 |publisher=ASEAN NCAP |date=July 2020 |access-date=2023-12-19}}
