6.6.2. The test may be carried out either on a completely finished vehicle or on
sufficient parts of the vehicle so as to be representative of the strength and
rigidity of the vehicle structure.
Windows and doors may be fitted or not and closed or not.
23
Any fitting normally provided and likely to contribute to the vehicle structure
may be fitted.
The test may be restricted to the ISOFIX position relating to only one seat or
group of seats on the condition that:
(a) The ISOFIX position concerned have the same structural
characteristics as the ISOFIX position relating to the other seats or
group of seats and,
(b) Where such ISOFIX positions are fitted totally or partially on the seat
or group of seats, the structural characteristics of the seat or group of
seats are the same as those for the other seats or groups of seats.
6.6.3. If the seats and head restraint are adjustable, they shall be tested in the
position defined by the technical service within the limited range prescribed
by the car manufacturer as provided in Appendix 3 of Annex 17 of
Regulation No. 16.
6.6.4. Forces, directions and excursion limits.
6.6.4.1. A force of 135 N ± 15 N shall be applied to the centre of the lower front
crossbar of the SFAD in order to adjust the fore-aft position of the SFAD
rearward extension to remove any slack or tension between the SFAD and its
support.
6.6.4.2. Forces shall be applied to the static force application device (SFAD) in
forward and oblique directions according to Table 1.
Table 1
Directions of test forces
Forward 0°  5° 8 kN  0.25 kN
Oblique 75°  5° (to both sides of straight forward, or if any worst
case side, or if both side are symmetric, only one side) 5 kN  0.25 kN
Each of these tests may be performed on different structures if the

manufacturer so requests.
Forces in the forward direction shall be applied with an initial force application
angle of 10 ± 5° above the horizontal. Oblique forces shall be applied
horizontally 0° ± 5°. A pre-load force of 500 N ± 25 N shall be applied at the
prescribed loading point X indicated in Figure 2 of Annex 9. Full application of
the load shall be achieved as rapidly as possible, and within a maximum load
application time of 30 seconds. However, the manufacturer may request the
application of the load to be achieved within 2 seconds. The force shall be
maintained for a minimum period of 0.2 s.
All measurements shall be made according to ISO 6487 with CFC of 60 Hz
or any equivalent method.
6.6.4.3. Tests of ISOFIX anchorages system only:
6.6.4.3.1. Forward direction force test:
Horizontal longitudinal excursion (after pre-load) of point X of SFAD during
application of the 8 kN  0.25 kN force shall be limited to 125 mm and
permanent deformation including partial rupture or breakage of any ISOFIX
low anchorage or surrounding area shall not constitute failure if the required
force is sustained for the specified time.
24
6.6.4.3.2. Oblique direction force test:

Excursion in the direction of the force (after pre-load) of point X of SFAD
during application of the 5 kN  0.25 kN force shall be limited to 125 mm
and permanent deformation including partial rupture or breakage of any
ISOFIX low anchorage or surrounding area shall not constitute failure if the
required force is sustained for the specified time.
6.6.4.4. Test of ISOFIX anchorages systems and ISOFIX top tether anchorage:
A tension pre-load of 50 N  5 N must be applied between the SFAD and the
top-tether anchorage. Horizontal excursion (after pre-load) of point X during
application of the 8 kN  0.25 kN force shall be limited to 125 mm and
permanent deformation including partial rupture or breakage of any ISOFIX
low anchorage and top tether anchorage, or surrounding area shall not
constitute failure if the required force is sustained for the specified time.

6.6.5. Additional forces

6.6.5.1. Seat inertia forces.
For the installation position where the load is transferred into a vehicle seat
assembly, and not directly into the vehicle structure, a test shall be carried out
to ensure that the strength of the vehicle seat anchorages to the vehicle
structure is sufficient. In this test, a force equal to 20 times the mass of the
relevant parts of the seat assembly shall be applied horizontally and
longitudinally in a forward direction to the seat or the relevant part of the seat
assembly corresponding to the physical effect of the mass of the seat in
question to the seat anchorages. The determination of the additional applied
load or loads and the load distribution shall be made by the manufacturer and
agreed by the Technical Service.
At the request of the manufacturer, the additional load can be applied at the X
point of SFAD during the static tests described above.
If the top tether anchorage is integrated to the vehicle seat, this test shall be
performed with the ISOFIX top tether strap.
No breakage shall occur and excursion requirements given in the Table 2
have to be fulfilled.
Note: This test does not have to be performed in case of any anchorage of the
vehicle safety-belt system is integrated to the vehicle seat structure, and the
vehicle seat is already tested and approved to meet the anchorage load tests
required by this Regulation for adult passenger restraint.
25
7. Inspection during and after static tests for safety-

belt anchorages
7.1. All the anchorages shall be capable of withstanding the test prescribed in
paragraphs 6.3. and 6.4. Permanent deformation, including partial rupture or
breakage of any anchorage or surrounding area, shall not constitute failure if
the required force is sustained for the specified time. During the test, the
minimum spacings for the effective lower belt anchorages specified in
paragraph 5.4.2.5. and the requirements of paragraph 5.4.3.6. for effective
upper belt anchorages shall be respected.
7.1.1. For vehicles of category M1 of a total permissible mass not exceeding
2.5 tonnes, if the upper safety-belt anchorage is attached to the seat structure,
the effective upper safety-belt anchorage shall not be displaced during the
test forward of a transverse plane passing through the R point and point C of
the seat in question (see Figure 1 of Annex 3 to this Regulation)
For vehicles other than mentioned above, the effective upper safety-belt
anchorage shall not be displaced during the test forward of a transverse plane
inclined 10° in forward direction and passing through the R point of the seat.
The maximum displacement of the effective upper anchorage point shall be
measured during the test.
If the displacement of the effective upper anchorage point exceeds the above-
mentioned limitation, the manufacturer shall demonstrate to the satisfaction
of the technical service that there is no danger to the occupant. As an
example, the test procedure according to Regulation No. 94 or a sled test with
corresponding pulse may be carried out to demonstrate a sufficient survival
space.
7.2. In vehicles where such devices are used, the displacement and locking
devices enabling the occupants of all seats to leave the vehicle must still be
operable by hand after the tractive force was removed.
7.3. After testing any damage to the anchorages and structures supporting load
during tests shall be noted.
7.4. By derogation, the upper anchorages fitted to one or more seats of vehicles of
category M3 and those of category M2 with a maximum mass exceeding
3.5 tonnes, which meet the requirements of Regulation No. 80, need not to
comply with the requirements of paragraph 7.1. concerning compliance with

Annex 7
Dynamic test as an alternative to the safety-belt anchorages

static strength test
1. Scope
This annex describes a dynamic sled test that can be performed as an
alternative to the safety-belt anchorages static strength test prescribed in
paragraphs 6.3. and 6.4. of this Regulation.
This alternative can apply at the request of the car manufacturer in the case of
a group of seats where all the seating positions are equipped with 3-point
safety-belts to which thorax load limiter functions are associated and when
the group of seats additionally comprises a seating position for which the
upper safety-belt anchorage is located on the seat structure.
2. Prescriptions
2.1. In the dynamic test prescribed in paragraph 3. of this annex, there shall be no
rupture of any anchorage or surrounding area. A programmed rupture
necessary for the functioning of the load limiter device is however permitted.
The minimum spacings for the effective lower anchorages specified in
paragraph 5.4.2.5. of this Regulation, and the requirements for the effective
upper anchorages specified in paragraph 5.4.3.6. of this Regulation and,
when applicable, completed by the following paragraph 2.1.1., shall be
respected.
2.1.1. For vehicles of category M1 of a total permissible mass not exceeding
2.5 tonnes, the upper safety-belt anchorage, if attached to the seat structure,
shall not be displaced forward of a transverse plane passing through the
R point and point C of the seat in question (see Figure 1 of Annex 3 to this
Regulation).
For vehicles other than mentioned above, the upper safety-belt anchorage
shall not be displaced forward of a transverse plane inclined 10° in forward
direction and passing through the R point of the seat.
2.2. In vehicles where such devices are used, the displacement and locking
devices enabling the occupants of all seats to leave the vehicle must still be
operable by hand after the test.
2.3. The vehicle owner's manual shall include indications that each safety-belt
shall only be replaced by an approved safety-belt for the considered seating
position in the vehicle, and shall in particular identify those seating positions
which may only be fitted with an appropriate safety-belt equipped with a load
limiter.
3. Dynamic test conditions
3.1. General conditions
The general conditions described in paragraph 6.1. of this Regulation apply
to the test described in this annex.
44
Annex 7
3.2. Installation and preparation

3.2.1. Sled
The sled must be so constructed that no permanent deformation appears after
the test. It must be so guided that, during the impact phase, the deviation does
not exceed 5° in the vertical plane and 2° in the horizontal plane.
3.2.2. Securing of the vehicle structure
The part of the vehicle structure considered essential for the vehicle rigidity
regarding the seat anchorages and the safety-belt anchorages shall be secured
on the sled, according to the disposals described in paragraph 6.2. of this
Regulation.
3.2.3. Restraint systems
3.2.3.1. The restraint systems (the complete seats, the safety-belt assemblies and the
load limiter devices) shall be mounted on the vehicle structure according to
the series production vehicle specifications.
The vehicle environment facing the tested seat (dashboard, seat, etc.,
depending on the tested seat) can be mounted on the test sled. If there were a
frontal airbag, it has to be deactivated.
3.2.3.2. At the request of the car manufacturer and in agreement with the technical
service in charge of the tests, some components of the restraint systems other
than the complete seats, the safety-belt assemblies and the load limiter
devices, may not be mounted on the test sled or may be replaced by
components having equivalent or lower stiffness and whose dimensions are
comprised in the vehicle interior fittings dimensions, provided that the tested
configuration is at least as unfavourable as the series configuration regarding
the forces applying to the seat and safety-belt anchorages.
3.2.3.3. The seats shall be adjusted as required in paragraph 6.1.2. of this Regulation,
in the position for use chosen by the technical service in charge of the tests as
the one giving the most adverse conditions regarding the anchorages strength
and compatible with the installation of the dummies in the vehicle.
3.2.4. Dummies
A dummy whose dimensions and mass are defined in Annex 8 shall be
positioned on each seat and restrained by the safety-belt provided in the
vehicle.
No dummy instrumentation is required.
3.3. Test
3.3.1. The sled shall be so propelled that, during the test, its speed variation is
50 km/h. The sled deceleration shall be within the corridor specified in
Annex 8 of Regulation No. 16.
3.3.2. If applicable, the activation of additional restraining devices (preloading
devices, etc., except airbags) is triggered according to the car manufacturer's
indications.
3.3.3. It shall be checked that the safety-belt anchorages' displacement does not
exceed the limits specified in paragraphs 2.1. and 2.1.1. of this annex.
