Partitioning systems Clause Samples
Partitioning systems. At the request of the vehicle manufacturer, the test described in Annex 9 may be carried out with the partitioning systems in place, if these systems are fitted as standard equipment for the particular type of vehicle. Partitioning systems, netting wire mesh located above the seat-backs in their normal position of use, shall be tested according to paragraph 2.2. of Annex 9. This requirement is deemed to be met if, during the test, the partitioning systems remain in position. However, the deformation of the partitioning systems during the test is permitted, provided that the forward contour of the partitioning (including parts of the tested seat-back(s) and/or head restraint(s) that are harder than 50 Shore A does not move forward of a transverse vertical plane which passes through:
(a) A point of 150 mm forward of the R point of the seat in question, for parts of the head restraint;
(b) A point of 100 mm forward of the R point of the seat in question, for parts of the seat-back and part of the partitioning system others than the head restraint.
1. All measurements shall be taken in the longitudinal median plane of the corresponding seat or seating position for each seating position constituting the forward boundary of the luggage compartment. After the test, no sharp or rough edges likely to increase the danger or severity of injuries of the occupants shall be present. In case of damage to a safety-belt retractor, it shall be verified that the retractor is locked already or that it can be locked by a manual pull out of the strap.
Partitioning systems. For integrated head restraint, the limit between the head restraint and the seat- back is the one defined in paragraph 5.12.
1. All measurements ..."
5.12.3. The requirements mentioned in paragraph 5.12.1. and 5.12.2. above shall not apply to luggage retention systems which are activated automatically in case of an impact. The manufacturer shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Technical Service that the protection offered by such systems is equivalent to that described in paragraph 5.12.1.and 5.12.2."
Partitioning systems. For integrated head restraint, the limit between the head restraint and the seat-back is the one defined in paragraph 5.12.
1. All measurements ..." Paragraph 5.16.3.(former), renumber as paragraph 5.12.3. and amend to read:
5.12.3. The requirements mentioned in paragraph 5.12.1. and 5.12.2. above shall not apply to luggage retention systems which are activated automatically in case of an impact. The manufacturer shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Technical Service that the protection offered by such systems is equivalent to that described in paragraph 5.12.1.and 5.12.2." Insert a new paragraph 6.1.5., to read:
6.1.5. To demonstrate compliance with paragraph 5.6. through to 5.8. of this Regulation, any adjustable support shall be positioned in its most rearward or opened design position."
Paragraph 6.2.1. amend to read:
6.2.1. A force producing a moment of 53 daNm in relation to the R point shall be applied longitudinally and rearwards to the upper part of the seat‑back frame through a component simulating the back of the manikin shown in Appendix 1 of Annex 3 to this Regulation. In the case of a bench seat, where part or all of the supporting frame (including that of the head restraints) is common to more than one seating position, the displacement and strength test shall be conducted simultaneously for all those seating positions." Paragraph 6.4.3., amend to read:
Partitioning systems. At the request of the vehicle manufacturer, the test described in annex 9 may be carried out with the partitioning systems in place, if these systems are fitted as standard equipment for the particular type of vehicle. Partitioning systems, netting wire mesh located above the seat backs in their normal position of use, shall be tested according to paragraph 2.2. of annex 9.
