determined with the 'Seat' back adjusted not to the design 'Seat Back Angle' but to the greatest available 'Seat Back Angle' up to and including 30o.

11.6.                                Location of Lap 'Anchor Points'

11.6.1.                          The two lap 'Anchor Points' provided for a particular seating position must lie on opposite sides of the 'Seating Reference Plane' in such a way that the sum of distances measured normal to the 'Seating Reference Plane' is not less than 165 mm.

11.6.2.                          The lines joining the lap 'Anchor Point' to the extreme points on the 'Pelvis Reference Locus' must be inclined to the horizontal at angles of not less than 25o nor more than 80o when viewed normal to the 'Seating Reference Plane'.

11.6.3.                          In cases where the line representing the centreline of the 'Strap' is not a straight line when viewed normal to the 'Seating Reference Plane':

11.6.3.1.                    with the 'Seat' in its foremost riding position the line passing through the foremost point on the 'Pelvis Reference Locus' and extending 'Rearward' to the first point of contact with the 'Seat' or other device must be inclined to the horizontal at an angle of not less than 25o ; and

11.6.3.2.                    subject to the exception in the following clause, with the 'Seat' in the rearmost riding position the distance from the 'Pelvis Reference Point' to the lap   'Anchor Point' measured along the centreline of the 'Strap' must not exceed by more than 60 mm the true distance from the 'Pelvis Reference Point' to the lap 'Anchor Point'; and

11.6.3.3.                    compliance with the preceding clause is not required where the system is so designed that when tested in accordance with the load requirements of either clause 7 or Appendix 1 the components of the vehicle or 'Seat' which cause the centreline of the 'Strap' between the lap 'Anchor Point' and the 'Pelvis Reference Point' to vary from a straight line, do not deflect or fail in such a manner that the effective length of the 'Strap' measured along the centreline between the lap 'Anchor Point' and the 'Pelvis Reference Point' is reduced by more than 60 mm.

11.7.                                Location of 'Sash Location Point'

11.7.1.                          For both conditions of force specified in clause 11.8.1.1:

11.7.1.1.                    the 'Sash Location Point' must be at least 140 mm from the 'Seating Reference Plane'; and

11.7.1.2.                    the 'Sash Location Point' must lie in 'Area A'.

11.7.2.                          Notwithstanding the requirements of clause 11.7.1, the 'Sash Location Point' may be adjustable for comfort provided:

11.7.2.1.                    at least one point in the range of adjustment must permit the 'Sash Location Point' to comply with the requirements of clause 11.7.1; and

11.7.2.2.                    no point of adjustment must cause the 'Sash Location Point' to lie below
