1.6. Verification of the performance requirements of the safety-belt or restraint system when subjected to the dynamic test
              1.6.1. Tests with conditioning
              1.6.1.1. Belts or restraint systems fitted with an emergency locking retractor according to the provisions set out in paragraphs 7.7. and 7.8. of this Regulation, using a belt which has previously been subjected to 45,000 cycles of the endurance test of the retractor prescribed in paragraph 7.6.1. of this Regulation and to the tests defined in paragraphs 6.2.2.4., 7.2. and 7.6.3. of this Regulation.
              1.6.1.2. Belts or restraint systems fitted with an automatically-locking retractor: according to the provisions set out in paragraphs 7.7. and 7.8. of this Regulation, using a belt which has previously been subjected to 10,000 cycles of the endurance test of the retractor prescribed in paragraph 7.6.1. and also to the tests prescribed in paragraphs 6.2.2.4., 7.2. and 7.6.3. of this Regulation.
              1.6.1.3. Static belts: according to the provisions set out in paragraphs 7.7. and 7.8. of this Regulation, on a safety-belt which has been subjected to the test prescribed in paragraphs 6.2.2.4. and 7.2. of this Regulation.
              1.6.2. Test without any conditioning
               According to the provisions set out in paragraphs 7.7. and 7.8. of this Regulation.
              2. Test frequency and results
              2.1. The frequency of testing to the requirements of paragraphs 1.1. to 1.5. of this annex shall be on a statistically controlled and random basis in accordance with one of the regular quality assurance procedures.
              2.1.1. Furthermore, in the case of emergency locking retractors, all assemblies shall be checked:
              2.1.1.1. Either according to the provisions set out in paragraphs 7.6.2.1. and 7.6.2.2. of this Regulation, in the most unfavourable direction as specified in paragraph 7.6.2.1.2. Test results shall meet the requirements of paragraphs 6.2.5.3.1.1. and 6.2.5.3.3. of this Regulation.
              2.1.1.2. Or according to the provisions set out in paragraph 7.6.2.3. of this Regulation, in the most unfavourable direction.

Test results shall meet the requirements of paragraph 6.2.5.3.1.4. of this Regulation.
              2.2. In the case of compliance with the dynamic test according to paragraph 1.6. of this annex, this shall be carried out with a minimum frequency of:
              2.2.1. Tests with conditioning
              2.2.1.1. In the case of belts fitted with an emergency locking retractor,
              Where the daily production is greater than 1,000 belts: one in 100,000 belts produced, with a minimum frequency of one every two weeks,
              Where the daily production is smaller than or equal to 1,000 belts: one in 10,000 belts produced, with a minimum frequency of one per year, per sort of locking mechanism,[19]
               Shall be subjected to the test
