I. GENERAL
   Technical requirements relating to safety belt anchorages exist in the
   majority of the Member States * These national requirements diverge at
   present      on many points and do not talce sufficiont account of
   recent technical developments# Hiis necessitates the speedy adoption of
   Community specifications that will not only ensure the free movement
   of goods in respect of motor vehicles but also provide the users of
   these vehicles with the greatest safety and comfort possible in the
   present state of the art .
   This proposal for a Directive comes within the scope of the EEC type~
   approval procedure for motor vehicles (1 ) and of the Community programme
   of action on industrial policy of 21 December 1973 *
   The technical requirements involved concern the position , strength and
   testing of safety-belt anchorages . The provisions proposed envisage in
   particular that all of the seats in all private motor cars and vehicles
   derived therefrom should be fittsd with anchorages . This measure forms
   the essential basis for the Community provisions currently ih preparation
   with a view to fitting vehicles with safety belts . A proposal for
    a D?.rective will be transmitted to the Council before the end of the
   year 1974 °n this subject . It will be accompanied by a proposal for a
    Directive relating to head restraints, thus constituting a further measure
   "by the Community on the protection of the occupants of motor vehicles®
   The present proposal for a Directive has been prepared in close collabo-*
    ration with national experts and with the representatives of consumer
    interests of the automobile industry and of equipment manufacturers and
    has obtained a large measure of agreement .
    ( l ) Council Directive 70/156/EEC , 6 February 1570» OJ ET° L 42 ,
          23 February 1970 *

        Discussions with experts have , however , shown that it will be difficult
    . for certain types of vehicle such as convertible cars or cars with a
        removable roof to comply with the proposed requirements on the position
        of the upper anchorages by the date envisaged for entry into effect *
        Since it appreciates these difficulties the Commission proposes that
        such vehicles should be subject to modified requirements , the applica­
       bility of which would, however, be restricted to two years following
       the date of notification of the Directive .
II . CCffig-EHTS OUT THE PROPOSAL FOR A DIRECTIVE
       The proposed Directive covers motor vehicles having at least four wheels
       and « maximum design speed of more than 25 km/h (Article 1 ).
     ' Article Z links the requirements concerning safety belt anchorages with
        the ESC type/approval procedure . "      v                   '     • ' '
                            1
        Since certain of the new Member States do not at present operate a
        national type approval procedure it has been necessary to introduce
        a special Article to ensure that vehicles complying with the requirements
        of the Directive can be used in those States (Article 3 ) ( l)».
  /     If the prototype is modified the Member State which issued the. type
        approval shall determine whether new tests are necessary (Article 4 ) •

              Accession to the European Communities of the Kingdom of

      Article 5 provides that        ■ the procedure for adjusting the requi­
      rements of the Annexes so as to take account of technical progress
      should "be that set out i in Article 13 of the Council Directive of
      6 February 1970 on type approval of motor vehicles and their trailers.
      Article 6 lays down two deadlines ;    before expiry of the first dead­
      line the Member States must adopt and publish the provisions needed
      in order to comply with this Directive .    They may do so at any time
      within this deadline .    The second deadline constitutes the single date
      on which all the Member States must simultaneously implement the
      common rules (Article 6 , l )).
      Finally , the Commission must be notified of any draft provisions drawn
      up by the Member States in the field covered by this Directive , in
      sufficient time to enable it to submit its comments , if any , on that
      draft (Article 6 , 2 )).
III . CONSULTATI OK OP THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE ECONOMIC! AND S0CI1L
      COMMITTEE
      The Opinio*1 of these two institutions is required under the provisions
      of the second paragraph of Article 1 00«
 ---pagebreak--- THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES .
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Eoonomic Community,
and in particular Article 100 thereof;
Having regard to the Proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament ;
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee ;
Whereas the technical requirements which motor vehioles must satisfy
pursuant to national laws relate inter alia to safety-belt anchorages ;
Whereas those requirements differ from one Member State to another; where­
as it is therefore necessary that all Member States adopt the same require­
ments either in addition to or in place of their existing rules , in order ,
in particular, to allow the EEC type approval procedure which was the sub­
ject of the Council Directive 70/156/EEC^^ of 6 February 1970 on the
approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type approval
of motor vehicles and their trailers to be applied in respect of each type
of vehicle ;
Whereas common requirements concerning the interior of the passenger comp­
artment , the layout of the controls , the roof, the backrest and rear part
of the seats have been laid down by Council Directive 74/6Q/EEC of 17
December . 1973 ( 2 );  whereas requirements on interior fittings relating to
the protection of the driver against the steering unit in the event of
impact were laid down by the Council Directive of ••• ( 3 )>    whereas require­
ments concerning the strength of seats and their anchorages were laid down
on •• #•(4 ); and . whereas other requirements on interior fittings , and in
particular head restraints , safety belts and the identification -of -controls ,
will be laid down at a later date ;

Whereas      approximation of the national laws relating to motor vehicles
entails recognition by the Member States of the tests carried out "by
each of them on the basis of the common requirements , and whereas in
order to function properly such a system calls for the implementation
of these requirements by all of the Member States with effect from
the seme date ;

1,1.   "vehicle type as regards belt enchorages "means a category of power-
       driven' vehicles which do not differ in such essential respects as
       the dimensions , lines and materials of components of the vehicle
       structure or seat structure or any oth.4* part' of thi Vehicle to
       which the belt anchorages are attached }
1*2 *  "belt anchorages " means the parts of the vehicle structure or . seat
       structure or any other part of the vehicle to which the safety belt
       assemblies are to be secured ;
1.3 *  "safety belt ( seat belt , belt)" means an arrangement of straps with
       a securing buckle , adjusting devices and attachments which is capa­
       ble ■of being arichored to a power-driven vehicle and is designed to
       diminish the risk of injury to . its wearer , in the event of collision
       or of abrupt deceleration of the veliicle , by limiting the mobility
       of the wearer 1 s body . Such an arrangement is generally referred to as
       a ".belt assembly", which term also embraces ©.ny device for ab.sorbung or foi
       retracting the belt .
l.Jf . Effective belt : anchorage t menas the point used to determine conven­
       tionally , as specified in point         the angle of each part of the
       safety belt in relation to the wearer , that- is , the point to which
       a strap-'would need to be ' attached to provide the same lie as the
       intended lie of the belt when worn , and which may or may not be the
       actual belt anchorage depending on the configuration of the safety
       belt fierdmre at its attachment to the belt anchorage .

        lower belt anchorage and which is either fixed or free to swivel , the
        effective belt anchorage for all positions of seat adjustment is the
        point where the strap is attached to thar rigid part ;
        where a strap guide is used on the vehicle structure or on the seat
        structure , the middle point of the guide at the place where the strap
        leaves the " guide on the belt wearer 's side , shall be considered as the
        effective belt anchorage ; and ,
1.^.3 . where the belt runs directly from the wearer to a retractor attached to .
        the vehicle structure or the seat structure without an intervening strap .
        guide , the effective belt anchorage shall be considered as being the
        int'efsection ' of the axis of the r©el for storing the strap with the plane
        passing through the centre line of the strap cn the reel .
1.5 .   " seat " means a structure which may or may not be integral with the

     AND VERIFYING THE RELATIVE POSITIONS OF THE "H "
                          AND " R " POINTS .
DEFINITIONS
The "H " point , which indicates the position or a seated occupant
in the passenger compartment , is the trace , in a longitudinal ver­
tical plane , of the theoretical axis of rotation between the legs and
the torso of a human body represented by the manikin described in
point 3 »
The "R " point or " seating reference point " is the reference point
specified by the manufacturer which '                           .  '
has co-ordinates determined in relation to the vehicle structure ;
corresponds to the theoretical position of the point of torso/legs
rotation ("H " point ) for the lowest and most rearward normal driving
              »     «
position or position of use given to each seat provided by the
vehicle manufacturer .
DETERMINATION OF "H " POINTS
An H point shall be determined for each seat provided by the manu­
facturer of the vehicle . If the seats in the same row can be regar­
ded as similar ( bench seat , identical seats , etc# ) only one H point
shall be determined for e'ach row of seats , the manikin described in
point 3 below being seated in a place regarded as representative for
the row .  This: place . shall be
in the "ease of the front row , the driver 's seat ;   ' '
in the case of the rear row or rows , an outer seat .
When an "H " point is being determined , the seat considered shall be
placed in the lowest and most rearward normal driving position or
position of use provided for it by the manufacturer . The seat back
shall if its inclination is adjustable be locked as specified by the
manufacturer or in the absence of amy specification to an actual
seat-back angle of as nearly as possible 25° from the vertical .

          contact with the front seats . If the feet then rest on parts of
          the floor which are at different levels , the foot which first comes
          into contact with the front seat shall serve as a reference point
          and the other foot shall be so arranged that the axis representing
          the transverse inclination of the seat of the manikin is brought
          to the horizontal ;

  VERIFYING THE RELATIVE POSITIONS OF THE "R » AND "H " 'POINTS
  The results of the measurements carried out as described in point
  5«2 . for the "II " point shall be compared with the co ordinates' of
  the "R" poittt as supplied by the vehicle manufacturer .
  The relative positions of the "R " point and the "H" point shall be
                                                        ;

  point , as defined by its co-ordinates , lies within a longitudinal
  rectangle whose horizontal and vertical sides are 30 nim and 20 mm
  long respectively and whose diagonals intersect, at the "R" point*
  If these' conditions are met , the "R" point shall be used for the
  test and , if necessary , the manikin shall be so adjusted that the
  "H " point coincides with the "R"' poifit ;
  If the "H " point does not satisfy the requirements of point 6 . 2 .
  above', the MH " point shall1 be determined twice more ( three times"
  in all ) •  If the results of two or these thfeie operations satisfy
  the requirements thfe result of the test shali bfe considered to be
. satisfactory .                                ...                 . .

If the situation described in point 6 m k , above arises , or if ve­
rification cannot be effected because the manufacturer has failed
to supply information regarding the position of the "R" point ,
the average of the results of the three determinations may be used
and be regarded as applicable in all cases where the "R" point
