Design of 'Anchorages' for 'Seatbelt Assemblies' - All 'Anchorages' must be designed so that 'Seatbelt Assemblies' may be replaced readily.  Any 'Anchorage' may be designed to receive more than one 'Anchor Fitting.'
5.4.                                    Pelvic Restraint
         For each seating position two 'Lap Anchorages' must be available.

5.5.1.                              For all front-facing front 'Outboard Seating Positions', provision must be made for upper torso restraint.
5.5.2.                              For all front facing and rear facing 'Outboard Seating Positions' specified in clause 5.2.1, other than specified in clauses 5.5.1 and 5.5.4, provision must be made for upper torso restraint provided that there is 'Permanent Structure' other than the 'Seat' above a horizontal plane located 350 mm above the 'Seating Reference Point' and 'Rearward' of a vertical transverse plane through the 'Upper Torso Reference Point'.  If the design provides for a 'Harness Belt', one or two 'Harness Torso Anchorages' must be provided.
