material having an elongation of not more than 25% when subjected to a load of 11 kN, and providing for pelvic and upper torso restraint. Each pelvic restraint portion shall be attached to the 'Lap Anchorages' for the adult 'Seatbelt Assembly' for the relevant 'Seat'.  The upper torso restraint portion shall be attached to the 'Upper Anchor Fitting'.
10.1.3.3.                    The pelvic and upper torso portions of the 'Child Restraints' shall be adjusted to eliminate slack.
10.1.3.4.                    The test rig shall have a mass of not less than 380 kg and shall meet the requirements of clause 10.1.3.5 for test rig calibration. It shall comprise trolley, the test vehicle body or part thereof, and the complete 'Vehicle Rear Seat' assembly.
10.1.3.5.                    In the case of calibration prior to 'Upper Anchor Fitting' testing, the test rig, to which a mass of not less than 21.4 kg times the number of seating positions for which a 'Upper Anchor Fitting' is provided is rigidly attached, when subject to a velocity change of not less than 49 km/h, shall achieve within 30 milliseconds a forward deceleration measured in the vicinity of the corresponding 'Lap Anchorage' within the range of 235 m/s2 to 335 m/s2 and shall maintain this deceleration, except for periods of less than one millisecond, for not less than 20 milliseconds.
10.1.3.6.                    For 'Upper Anchor Fitting' testing, the test rig shall be operated in a manner identical in all operational aspects to that specified in clause 10.1.3.5 for rig calibration except that in this case the test dummies replace the inert mass. The test dummies shall be restrained in accordance with the requirements of clause 10.1.3.2.
10.1.3.7.                    Each 'Upper Anchorage', 'Upper Anchor fitting' or routing device where fitted, shall withstand the loads imposed when tested in accordance with the dynamic test requirements of clause 10.1.3.6.

11.                                      ADDITIONAL STRENGTH REQUIREMENTS FOR VEHICLES WITH UPPER ANCHORAGES THAT TRANSFER LOAD TO A SEAT BACK
11.1.                                For all vehicle categories:
11.1.1.                          Where there are 'Upper Anchorages' located in or on the seat back, or in the vehicle body structure more than 100 mm below a horizontal plane tangential to the highest point on the top of the seat back:
11.1.1.1.                    Twenty times the weight of the entire seat must be simultaneously imposed with a load of at least 3.4 kN for each 'Upper Anchorage' to the seat in accordance with clause 11.1.1.2 or clause 11.1.1.3.  Each required load must be applied 'Forward' of the seat back, not more than 5° above or below the horizontal, and not more than 5° to the left or right of the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. A flexible connection passing over the top of the seat back must be used to
