5.3.2.                              Provision - A 'Sash Guide' shall be provided for each seating position to be fitted with a 'Lap-Sash Belt'.
5.3.3.                              Strength - Except in cases where the 'Anchor Fitting' at the 'Final Torso Anchorage' is the 'Sash Guide', the 'Sash Guide' shall, when tested in accordance with the requirements of clause 5.6.1, 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'.

If this requirement is met by the use of a positive restraining device incorporated with or attached to the 'Seat' back then the device shall be designed to withstand a load of 50 N applied in a horizontal transverse direction away from the 'Seating Reference Plane'.

5.3.6.                               'Sash Location Point' - The 'Sash Guide' shall be so designed that the 'Sash Location Point' meets the location requirements of clause 5.4.2.

5.3.7.1.                        the point of the first load bearing 'Sash Guide' where the centreline of the strap first changes direction after leaving the preceding 'Sash Guide' shall be in 'Area A' or 'Area B'; and
5.3.7.2.                        the maximum length of 'Strap' required to pass from that point to
