2.6.2. "Forward-facing seat" means a seat which can be used while the vehicle is in motion and which faces towards the front of the vehicle in such a manner that the vertical plane of symmetry of the seat forms an angle of less than +10° or -10° with the vertical plane of symmetry of the vehicle.
2.6.3. "Rearward-facing seat" means a seat which can be used while the vehicle is in motion and which faces towards the rear of the vehicle in such a manner that the vertical plane of symmetry of the seat forms an angle of less than +10° or –10° with the vertical plane of symmetry of the vehicle.
2.6.4. "Side-facing seat" means a seat which can be used while the vehicle is in motion and which faces towards the side of the vehicle in such a manner that the vertical plane of symmetry of the seat forms an angle of 90° (±10°) with the vertical plane of symmetry of the vehicle.
2.7. "Group of seats" means either a bench-type seat, or seats which are separate but side by side (i.e. with the foremost anchorages of one seat in line with or forward of the rearmost anchorages and in line with or behind the foremost anchorages of another seat) and accommodate one or more seated adult person;

2.9.3. The type and dimensions of the belt anchorages on the seat, of the seat anchorage and of the affected parts of the vehicle structure;
2.10. "Seat anchorage" means the system by which the seat assembly is secured to the vehicle structure, including the affected parts of the vehicle structure;
2.11. "Adjustment system" means the device by which the seat or its parts can be adjusted to a position suited to the morphology of the seated occupant; this device may, in particular, permit of:
2.11.1. Longitudinal displacement;
2.11.2. Vertical displacement;
2.11.3. Angular displacement;
2.12.
