from the vertical, or the nearest fixed position of the seat-back, should be used.
              2.3. Set the shoulder anchorage to the lowest position.
              2.4. Place a cotton cloth on the seat-back and cushion.
              2.5. Place the fixture (as described in Figure 1 of this appendix) on the vehicle seat.
              2.6. If the seating position is intended to accommodate a forward-facing or rearward-facing universal restraint system, proceed according to paragraphs 2.6.1., 2.7., 2.8., 2.9. and 2.10. below. If the seating position is intended to accommodate only a forward-facing universal restraint system, proceed according to paragraphs 2.6.2., 2.7., 2.8., 2.9. and 2.10. below.
              2.6.1. Arrange the safety-belt strap around the fixture in approximately the correct position as shown in Figures 2 and 3, then latch the buckle.
              2.6.2. Arrange the safety-belt lap strap approximately in the correct position around the lower part of the fixture of 150 mm radius as shown in Figure 3, then latch the buckle.
              2.7. Ensure that the fixture is located with its vertical plane of symmetry within ±25 mm of the vertical plane of symmetry of the seating position.
              2.8. Ensure that all webbing slack is removed. Use sufficient force to remove the slack, do not attempt to tension the webbing.
              2.9. Push rearwards on the centre of the front of the fixture with a force of 100 N ± 10 N, applied parallel to the lower surface, and remove the force.
              2.10. Push vertically downwards on the centre of the upper surface of the fixture with a force of 100 N ± 10 N, and remove the force.
              3. Requirements
              3.1. The base of the fixture shall contact both the forward and rearward parts of the seat cushion surface. If such contact does not occur due to the belt access gap in the test fixture, this gap may be covered in line with the bottom surface of the test fixture.
              3.2. The lap portion of the belt shall touch the fixture on both sides at the rear of the lap belt path (see Figure 3). The seat belt webbing shall always cover the points BP on the left and right ends of the curved edge; the exact position of point BP on the curved edge is indicated in detail W of Figure 1.
              3.3. Should the above requirements not be met with the adjustments indicated in paragraphs 2.1., 2.2. and 2.3. above, the seat, seat-back and safety-belt anchorages may be adjusted to an alternative position designated by the manufacturer for normal use at which the above installation procedure shall be repeated and the requirements again verified and met. This alternative position shall be included as an information in the Table 1 given in Appendix 3 to
