Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations — 210.1
nated seating positions shall, when tested, withstand the application of a force of 10 000 N (a) applied by means of one of the following types of test devices, installed as a child restraint system would be in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer’s installation instructions, namely, (i) a test device shown in Figures 12 to 16, or (ii) a test device shown in Figures 7 and 8 of section 210.2, in the case of a designated seating position having a lower universal anchorage system; (b) applied (i) in a forward direction parallel to the vehicle’s vertical longitudinal plane through the X point on the test device, and (ii) initially, along a line above the horizontal line, at an angle of 10° ± 5° to it. (c) attained within 30 seconds, at any onset force rate of not more than 135 000 N/s; and (d) maintained at a 10 000-N level for a minimum of one second. (9) [Repealed, SOR/2008-72, s. 8] (10) If the zones in which user-ready tether anchorages are located overlap and if, in the overlap area, a user-ready tether anchorage is installed that is designed to accept the tether strap hooks of two restraint systems or booster seats simultaneously, each portion of the user-ready tether anchorage that is designed to bind with a tether strap hook shall withstand the force referred to in subsection (8) when it is applied to both portions simultaneously. (11) If a bench seat in a bus or a row of designated seating positions in another vehicle has more than one user-ready tether anchorage and a distance of 400 mm or more, measured in accordance with Figure 20, separates the midpoints of adjacent designated seating positions, the force referred to in subsection (8) or (10), as the case may be, shall be applied simultaneously to each user-ready tether anchorage in the manner specified in that subsection. (12) The strength requirement tests shall be conducted with the vehicle seat adjusted to its full rearward and full downward position and the seat back in its most upright position.
