Annex 17 - Appendix 2
  Provisions concerning the installation of forward-facing and rearward-facing ISOFIX child restraint systems of universal and semi-universal categories installed on ISOFIX
or i-Size 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, as well as to determine the suitability of i-Size seating positions for installing i-Size child restraint systems..
              1.2. The tests may be carried out in the vehicle or in a representative part of the vehicle.
               For i-Size seating positions, compliance with the i-Size support leg installation requirements may be assessed by a physical test, computer simulation or representative drawings.
              2. Test procedure
              ISOFIX positions in the vehicle, defined by the vehicle manufacturer shall be checked to ensure that the CRF listed in paragraph 4 of this Appendix can be accommodated. Where the vehicle manufacturer has indicated that the ISOFIX position(s) will accommodate a particular CRF, then it shall be assumed that smaller CRFs of the same orientation may be accommodated.
              i-Size seating positions, defined by the vehicle manufacturer, shall be checked to ensure that it is possible to accommodate both the ISO/R2 and the ISO/F2X child restraint fixtures (see paragraph 4 of this Annex) including the i-Size support leg installation assessment volume.
              For both, ISOFIX and i-size position(s), the following procedure shall apply:
              2.1. When checking a CRF, on a seat, with or without i-Size support leg installation assessment volume, 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 the absence of any specification an angle of the seat-back corresponding to a torso angle of 25° from the vertical, or the nearest fixed position of the seat-back, shall be used.
               When checking a CRF, on a rear seat, with or without i-Size support leg installation assessment volume, the vehicle seat located in front of this rear seat may be adjusted longitudinally forward but not further than the mid position between its rearmost and fore most positions. The seat backrest angle may also be adjusted, but not to a more upright angle than corresponding to a torso angle of 15°.
              2.3. Place a cotton cloth on the seat-back and
