mm from the 'Seating Reference Plane'.

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

         3.                           Design of 'Sash Guide' Devices - In cases where the 'Sash Guide' which includes the 'Sash Location Point' is a load-bearing 'Sash Guide', it must retain the 'Strap' by either:

             1.                     the 'Strap' cannot be removed from the 'Sash Guide' without the use of tools; or

             2.                     the 'Strap' may be removed but returns to its design position when forces are applied.

         4.                            'Sash Location Point' - The 'Sash Guide' must be so designed that the 'Sash Location Point' meets the location requirements of clause 11.7.

         5.                           Failure of 'Sash Guide' Devices - In cases where one or more 'Sash Guides' in the 'Sash Guide' system are not load-bearing 'Sash Guides', the design of the system must be such that in the installed design position:

             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' must be in 'Area A' ; and

             2.                     the maximum length of 'Strap' required to pass from the point referred to in clause 11.3.5.1 to the 'Upper Torso Reference Point' via the 'Sash Guide' system must not exceed by more than 60 mm the true distance between those points.

     4.                                 Deflection of 'Sash Guides'

         1.                           In the case of a 'Sash Guide' system where the 'Sash Guide' which includes the 'Sash Location Point' is a load-bearing 'Sash Guide', and is not a component of a 'Seatbelt Assembly' (as nominated in clause 11.2.2) the design must be such that:

             1.                     a 'Sash Guide' system with a non-adjustable 'Sash Location Point' must comply with clauses 11.4.2 and 11.4.3; and

             2.                     a 'Sash Guide' system with an adjustable 'Sash Location Point' must comply with clauses 11.4.2 and 11.4.4 with the 'Sash Location Point' set in any position of adjustment.

         2.                           When a force is applied as specified in clause 11.8.1.2, 'Sash Guide' deflection must not reduce, by more than 60 mm, the actual length of 'Strap' measured along the 'Strap' centreline between the 'Upper Torso Reference Point' and the final 'Anchor Point'.

         3.                           When a force is applied as specified in clause 11.8.1.2, the displaced 'Sash Location Point' must lie in 'Area A'.

         4.                           When a force is applied as specified in clause 11.8.1.2 the displaced 'Sash Location Point' must not lie below horizontal transverse plane DJ of 'Area A'.

     5.                                 Effect of 'Seat' Back Adjustment

         1.                           In cases where
