              8.1. Safety-belt and restraint systems equipment
              8.1.1. With the exception of seating intended solely for use when the vehicle is stationary, the seats of vehicles of categories M1, M2 (of Class III or B[9]), M3 (of Class III or B9) and N shall be equipped with safety-belts or restraint systems which satisfy the requirements of this Regulation.
              Contracting Parties applying this Regulation may demand the installation of safety belts on M2 and M3 vehicles belonging to Class II.
              When fitted, the safety belts and/or restraint systems in Class I, II or A vehicles belonging to category M2 or M3 have to be in compliance with the requirements of this Regulation.
              Contracting Parties may, under national law, allow the installation of safety belts or restraint systems other than those covered by this Regulation provided that they are intended for disabled people.
              Restraint systems complying with the provisions of Annex 8 of the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 107 are exempted from the provisions of this Regulation.
               Class I, or A vehicles belonging to category M2 or M3 may be fitted with safety belts and/or restraint systems conforming to the requirements of this Regulation.

For all seating positions where lap belts type B are specified in Annex 16 lap belts type Br3 are permitted except in the case that, in use, they retract to such an extent as to reduce comfort in a notable way after normal buckling up.
              8.1.2.1. However, for outboard seating positions, other than front, of vehicles of the category N1 shown in Annex 16 and marked with the symbol Ø, the installation of a lap belt of type Br4m or Br4Nm is allowed, where there exists a passage between a seat and the nearest side wall of the vehicle intended to permit access of passengers to other parts of the vehicle. A space between a seat and the side wall is considered as a passage, if the distance between that side wall, with all doors closed, and a vertical longitudinal plane passing through the centre line of the seat concerned – measured at the R-point position and perpendicularly to the median longitudinal plane of the vehicle – is more than
