in Figures 9 to 13. The zone is defined with reference to the 'Seating Reference Point'. (For purposes of the figures, "H Point" is defined to mean 'Seating Reference Point'.) The 'Interface Profile' may be recessed in the seat back, provided that it is not in the strap wrap-around area at the top of the vehicle seat back. For the area under the vehicle seat, the forward most edge of the shaded zone is defined by the 'Torso Reference Line'.
34.5.4.1.                    The 'Interface Profile' may be located outside the shaded zone shown in Figures 9 to 13 if a location within that zone is not appropriate and the vehicle is equipped with a routing device that,
34.5.4.1.1.              ensures that the 'Upper Anchorage Strap' functions as if the 'Interface Profile' were located within the shaded zone; and,
34.5.4.1.2.              is at least 65 mm behind the 'Torso Reference Line', in case of a non-rigid webbing-type routing device or a deployable routing device, or at least 100 mm behind the 'Torso Reference Line', in the case of a fixed rigid routing device; and,
34.5.4.1.3.              when tested after being installed as it is intended to be used, the device is of sufficient strength to withstand, with the 'Child Restraint Anchorage', the strength requirements specified in Clause 34.7, excluding sub-clauses 34.7.2.1 and 34.7.2.2.
34.6.                                ACCESSIBILITY TO ENGAGE 'ATTACHING CLIP'
34.6.1.                          Clearance shall be provided around each 'Child Restraint Anchor Fitting' to allow latching and unlatching, without the use of tools, of the 'Attaching Clip' to the 'Child Restraint Anchor Fitting' when it is installed in the vehicle.
34.6.2.                          For guidance to vehicle manufacturers the clearance parameters shown in Figure 8 are sufficient to demonstrate compliance with this clause.
34.7.                                STRENGTH OF 'CHILD RESTRAINT ANCHORAGE(S)'
34.7.1.                          For each 'Child Restraint Anchorage', static or dynamic testing shall be conducted at the vehicle 'Manufacturer's' choice either to clause 34.7.2 or clause 34.7.3 as applicable - using 'Child Restraint Anchor Fitting(s)' provided in accordance with clause 34.2.
34.7.1.1.                    The static test load of 3.4 kN (clause 34.7.2) relates to the upper tether strap load of 7 kN in the dynamic test specified in Australian Standard AS 3629.3-1991 "Methods of Testing Child Restraints Part 3 Dynamic Testing of Upper Anchorage Components".
34.7.2.                          Static Testing - All 'Child Restraint Anchor Fittings' shall be tested simultaneously when installed in the vehicle, and with the 'Seat' or 'Seat' back installed, by application of a test load of not less than 3.4 kN to each 'Child Restraint Anchor Fitting'.
34.7.2.1.                    The direction of the test load shall be within 20° of the 'Design Line of Action' of the 'Child Restraint Anchor Fitting' and not more than 5° to the left or right of the
