1. SCOPE

          This Regulation applies to safety-belts and restraint systems which are designed for installation in vehicles and are intended for separate use, i.e. as individual fittings, by persons of adult build occupying forward or rearward-facing seats.  It also applies to child restraint systems and ISOFIX child restraint systems designated for installation in vehicles of category M1 and N1. /

2. DEFINITIONS

          2.1. Safety‑belt (seat‑belt, belt)

          An arrangement of straps with a securing buckle, adjusting devices and attachments which is capable of being anchored to the interior of a power‑driven vehicle and is designed to diminish the risk of injury to its wearer, in the event of collision or of abrupt deceleration of the vehicle, by limiting the mobility of the wearer's body.  Such an arrangement is generally referred to as a "belt assembly", which term also embraces any device for absorbing energy or for retracting the belt.

          The arrangement can be tested and approved as a safety-belt arrangement or as a restraint system.

2.1.1. Lap belt

          A two-point belt which passes across the front of the wearer's pelvic region.

          2.1.2. Diagonal belt
