strap approximately in the correct position around the lower part of the fixture of 150 mm radius as shown in figure 3, then latch the buckle.

         2.7. Ensure that the fixture is located with its centreline on the apparent centreline of the seating position  25 mm with its centreline parallel with the centreline of the vehicle.

         2.8. Ensure that all webbing slack is removed. Use sufficient force to remove the slack, do not attempt to tension the webbing.

         2.9. Push rearwards on the centre of the front of the fixture with a force of 100 N ± 10 N, applied parallel to the lower surface, and remove the force.

         2.10. Push vertically downwards on the centre of the upper surface of the fixture with a force of 100 N ± 10 N, and remove the force.

         3. Requirements

         3.1. The base of the fixture shall contact both the forward and rearward parts of the seat cushion surface. If such contact does not occur due to the belt access gap in the test fixture, this gap may be covered in line with the bottom surface of the test fixture.

         3.2. The lap portion of the belt shall touch the fixture on both sides at the rear of the lap belt path (see figure 3).

         3.3. Should the above requirements not be met with the adjustments indicated in paragraphs 2.1., 2.2. and 2.3., the seat, seat-back and safety-belt anchorages may be adjusted to an alternative position designated by the manufacturer for normal use at which the above installation procedure shall be repeated and the requirements again verified and met. This alternative position shall be included as an information in the table 1 given in Appendix 3 to this annex.

         Annex 17 - Appendix 2

PROVISIONS CONCERNING THE INSTALLATION OF FORWARDS-SFACING AND REARWARD-FACING ISOFIX CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS OF UNIVERSAL AND SEMI-UNIVERSAL CATEGORIES INSTALLED ON ISOFIX POSITIONS

         1. General

         1.1. The test procedure and the requirements in this appendix shall be used to determine the suitability of ISOFIX positions for the installation of ISOFIX child restraint systems of universal and semi-universal categories.

         1.2. The tests may be carried out in the vehicle or in a representative part of the vehicle.

         2. Test procedure

          For any ISOFIX position in the vehicle, as indicated by the car manufacturer, in table 2 of Appendix 3, it has to be checked that it is possible to accommodate the corresponding child restraint fixture(s) (CRF):

         2.1. When checking a CRF on a seat, this seat may be adjusted longitudinally to its rearmost position and in its lowest position.

         2.2. Adjust the seat-back angle to the manufacturer's design position and the head restraint in the lowest and rearmost position. In
