with the technical service in charge of the tests, some components of the restraint systems other than the complete seats, the safety-belt assemblies and the load limiter devices, may not be mounted on the test sled or may be replaced by components having equivalent or lower stiffness and whose dimensions are comprised in the vehicle interior fittings dimensions, provided that the tested configuration is at least as unfavourable as the series configuration regarding the forces applying to the seat and safety-belt anchorages.
              3.2.3.3. The seats shall be adjusted as required in paragraph 6.1.2. of this Regulation, in the position for use chosen by the technical service in charge of the tests as the one giving the most adverse conditions regarding the anchorages strength and compatible with the installation of the dummies in the vehicle.
              3.2.4. Dummies
               A dummy whose dimensions and mass are defined in Annex 8 shall be positioned on each seat and restrained by the safety-belt provided in the vehicle.
               No dummy instrumentation is required.
              3.3. Test
              3.3.1. The sled shall be so propelled that, during the test, its speed variation is 50 km/h. The sled deceleration shall be within the corridor specified in Annex 8 of Regulation No. 16.
              3.3.2. If applicable, the activation of additional restraining devices (preloading devices, etc., except airbags) is triggered according to the car manufacturer's indications.
              3.3.3. It shall be checked that the safety-belt anchorages' displacement does not exceed the limits specified in paragraphs 2.1. and 2.1.1. of this annex.
