                  1.                            This Standard repeals each vehicle standard with the name Australian Design Rule 5/03 — Anchorages for Seatbelts that is:

This Standard also repeals each instrument made under section 7 of the Motor Vehicle Standards Act 1989 that creates a vehicle standard with the name Australian Design Rule 5/03 — Anchorages for Seatbelts, if there are no other vehicle standards created by that instrument, or amendments to vehicle standards made by that instrument, that are still in force at the commencement of this Standard.
2.                                          Function and SCOPE

         The function of this Australian Design Rule is to specify requirements for 'Anchorages' for 'Seatbelt Assemblies' so that they may be adequately secured to the vehicle structure or 'Seat' and will meet comfort requirements in use.

         NOTE: The seatbelt 'Anchorage' is not for any other purpose, e.g. securing loads etc.
