Purpose and SCOPE

This Australian Design Rule (ADR) is part of the Australian motor vehicle standards system and is a national standard for the purposes of the Motor Vehicle Standards Act 1989.

The function of this Australian Design Rule is to specify requirements for 'Seats', their attachment assemblies, and their installation to minimise the possibility of occupant injury due to forces acting on the 'Seat' as a result of vehicle impact.

NOTE: The seat-anchorage is not to be used for any other purpose, e.g. securing loads etc.

APPLICABILITY

This ADR applies to the design and construction of vehicles as set out in the table hereunder.

The /01 Rule differs from the /00 Rule in:

    (1) extending all /00 Rule to all 'Seats' of MD2 vehicles; and

    (2) extending the Rule to LE vehicles.

The Package 17 issue of /01 extends the Rule to all LEP and LEG vehicles and deletes its applicability to LEM vehicles.

Vehicles certified to the requirements of any of the "Acceptable Prior Rules" as shown below in the Applicability Table for a particular category are deemed to comply with this Rule.
