the Australian Design Rule 4/... "Seatbelts" and the static strength of assembly test of Australian Standard E35-1970, "Seat Belt Assemblies for Motor Vehicles" or Australian Standard AS 2597.10 - 1983, "Determination of Static Strength and Dummy Displacement" as specified in the Australian Design Rule 4/... "Seatbelts".
6.1.3.                              In the case where the 'Sash Guide' is not a component of a 'Seatbelt Assembly' (as nominated in clause 6.1.1.2), then the 'Sash Guide' must comply with clause 6.8 as well as clause 4.2.7 of Australian Design Rule 4/00 and 4/01 for "Seatbelts" or clause 5.8 of Australian Design Rules 4/02 or 4/03 for "Seatbelts" (where applicable) as if the 'Sash Guide' were part of the 'Seatbelt Assembly': (but also excluding clauses 5, 9 and 14 of Australian Standard 2596-1983, "Seat Belt Assemblies for Motor Vehicles" or clauses 3, 7 and 11 of Australian Standard E35 Pt. 1-1970, "Seat Belt Assemblies for Motor Vehicles"), clause 4.3.3 and clause 4.5.1 of Australian Design Rule 4/00 and 4/01 for " Seatbelts" or clauses 6.3 and 8.1 of Australian Design Rule 4/02 or 4/03 for "Seatbelts".
6.2.                                    Provision
         A 'Sash Guide' must be provided for each seating position to be fitted with a 'Lap-Sash Belt'.
6.3.                                    Strength
         Except in cases where the 'Anchor Fitting' at the 'Final Torso Anchorage' is the 'Sash Guide', the 'Sash Guide' must, when tested in accordance with the requirements of clause 9.1, withstand the loads in such a way that after application and removal of the loads there is no substantial deformation and the 'Sash Guide' remains integral with its supporting structure and continues to retain the 'Strap'.
6.4.                                     'Seat' Backs
         In cases where the 'Seat' back is a 'Sash Guide' device the design of the 'Seat' back must be such that it is not possible for the 'Strap' to fall below the lower boundary of 'Area A' at any point not greater than 300 mm from the 'Seating Reference Plane'.  If this requirement is met by the use of a positive restraining device incorporated with or attached to the 'Seat' back then the device must be designed to withstand a load of 50 N applied in a horizontal transverse direction away from the 'Seating Reference Plane'.
6.5.                                    Design of 'Sash Guide' Devices
6.5.1.                              In cases where the 'Sash Guide' which includes the 'Sash Location Point' is a load bearing 'Sash Guide', it must retain the 'Strap' so that either:
6.5.1.1.                        the 'Strap' cannot be removed from the 'Sash Guide' without the use of tools; or
6.5.1.2.                        the 'Strap' may be removed but returns to its design position when loads are applied.
6.6.                                    'Sash Location Point'
         The 'Sash Guide' must be so designed that the 'Sash Location Point' meets the location
