6.2.                                    As an alternative to the strength tests detailed in Sections 6 and 7 of Appendix A, the strength of belt anchorages in vehicles of category MD3, MD4, ME, NB2 or NC may instead be proved by design.  In this case, such belt anchorages must be provided in a substantial metal component.  In cases where this metal component is less than 3 mm in thickness, the belt anchorages must include a device to distribute the load.  The device must be shaped to match the contour of the mounting surface and must have an area of not less than 3750 mm2 in contact with the mounting surface.
6.3.                                    Where some or all of the belt anchorages are mounted on the seat, the strength tests detailed in Sections 6 and 7 of Appendix A may be performed separately on the seat and the vehicle structure, provided that the total load requirements for the belt anchorages tested are met in each separate test.
