The requirements of Appendix A paragraph 6.2 must be met, except that instead of "longitudinally and rearwards to the upper part of the seat-back frame through a component simulating the back of the manikin shown in Annex 3 to this Regulation", a force producing a moment of 53 daNm in relation to the R point may be applied directly to the upper cross member of the seat-back in a rearward longitudinal direction either:
6.4.1.                              horizontally; or

As an alternative to the requirements of Appendix A paragraphs 6.3.1 and 6.3.2, a static test load equivalent to 20 times the weight of the entire seat may be applied at the seat centre of mass. This load must be applied in turn both horizontally forward and horizontally rearward and must be sustained for at least one second.
