Annex l

DETERMINATION OF THE HEAD-IMPACT ZONE

      1. The head-impact zone comprises all the non-glazed surfaces of the interior of a vehicle which are capable of entering into static contact with a spherical head 165 mm in diameter that is an integral part of a measuring apparatus whose dimension from the pivotal point of the hip to the top of the head is continuously adjustable between 736 mm and 840 mm.

      2. The aforesaid zone shall be determined by the following procedure or its graphic equivalent:

          1.            The pivotal point of the measuring apparatus shall be placed as follows for each seating position for which the manufacturer has made provision:

              1.      In the case of sliding seats:

                     1.              at the "H" point (see annex 5), and

                     2.              at a point situated horizontally 127 mm forward of the "H" point and either at a height resulting from the variation in the height of the "H" point caused by a forward shift of 127 mm or 19 mm (see annex 10, explanatory notes to paragraph 2.1.1.2. of annex 1).

              2.      In the case on non-sliding seats:

                     1.              at the "H" point of the seat considered.

          2.            All points of contact situated forward of the "H" point shall be determined, for each dimension from the pivoted point to the top of the head capable of being measured by the measuring apparatus within the interior dimensions of the
