in the foremost driving position; and
6.1.2.                              if installed at any other seating position, a '50th Percentile 6 Years Old Child' with the 'Seat' in the rearmost riding position and a '95th Percentile Adult Male' with the 'Seat' in the foremost riding position.
6.1.3.                              Furthermore, in the case of the fittings to the '95th Percentile Adult Male' in 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 above, the design must provide for at least 75 mm of additional 'Strap' in a 'Lap Belt' and at least 75 mm of additional 'Strap' in both the lap 'Strap' and upper torso 'Strap' of a 'Lap-Sash Belt' or 'Harness Belt'.  The purpose of this clause is to accommodate a stouter person than represented by the 95th percentile anthropometric dimensions.
6.2.                                    In the case of a 'Seatbelt Assembly' incorporating a manual adjusting device, the following requirements must be met when  the assembly is correctly fitted for a '95th Percentile Adult Male' and a '50th Percentile 6 Years Old Child' independently, when the 'Seat' is in the foremost riding or driving position (Figure 2 refers):
6.2.1.                              for tightening, the adjustment must be by a single action at an 'Accessible' point which lies between Line C and Line E and 'Forward' of Line FOS; and
6.2.2.                              for loosening, the entire adjusting device must lie between Line C and Line D and 'Forward' to Line KPS and there must be one point on the device which is 'Accessible'.
6.2.3.                              For the purpose of determining whether the point is 'Accessible', the dummy or occupant may be removed.
6.3.                                    Any free end of a 'Strap' must:
6.3.1.                              be designed so as to prevent it from passing through the adjuster under normal adjustment operations, and with the strap fully extended the 'Strap'/adjuster combination must be capable of withstanding, for not less than 30 seconds a static tensile load of 9 kN applied to the load bearing end of 'Strap' with the adjuster restrained as in the vehicle; and
6.3.2.                              be restrained by a positive design feature to adopt a position against another 'Strap'. The free end of a 'Strap' on any seat belt for a centre seating position or for an 'Outboard Seating Position' not adjacent to a vehicle door need not meet this requirement.
6.3.3.                              Further, with the 'Strap' fully extended, there must be not less than 25 mm of material extending from the device to provide a grip for adjustment purposes.  The material may either be attached to or form part of the free end of the 'Strap'.
7.                                          BUCKLE REQUIREMENTS
7.1.                                    It must not be possible to adjust a 'Lap-Sash Belt' so that when correctly fitted for a '5th Percentile Adult Female', the 'Lap Sash Point' is less than 125 mm in
