cases where the vehicle complies with the Australian Design Rule for "Door Latches and Hinges", testing must be carried out with the vehicle doors open or removed.
8.2.                                    Installation of 'Seats'
         The appropriate 'Seats' must be installed for the tests and located in their rearmost driving or riding position and with the 'Seat' back adjusted to the design 'Seat Back Angle' except that in cases where the line of pull could not contact a particular portion of the 'Seat' then that portion may be removed.
8.3.                                    Body Blocks
         Loads must be transmitted by the use of body blocks.
8.4.                                    Loading of Body Blocks
8.4.1.                              Each body block must be restrained by attachments which are representative of a passing around the body block and connected to the 'Anchorage' under test and another appropriate 'Anchorage' as described in the following Table 2, by fittings that are representative of the actual 'Anchor Fittings' designed for each 'Anchorage'.
8.4.2.                              In cases where one 'Anchorage' is a 'Final Torso Anchorage', the attachment restraining the body block must pass through the 'Sash Guide' system except that:
8.4.2.1.                        it may by-pass any 'Sash Guide' which is not a load bearing 'Sash Guide'; and
8.4.2.2.                        a load bearing 'Sash Guide' which is a component of a 'Seatbelt Assembly' (as nominated in clause 6.1) may be replaced by a representative component of sufficient strength to withstand the load requirements of clause 5.7.
8.5.                                    Direction of Loading
8.5.1.                              In the case of front and rear facing 'Seats', the direction of load to the body blocks must be:
8.5.1.1.                        'Forward' of the seating position;
8.5.1.2.                        parallel to the 'Seating Reference Plane';
8.5.1.3.                        in the case of pelvic restraint, at an angle above the horizontal of not less than 5o nor more than 50°; and
8.5.1.4.                        in the case of upper torso restraint, at an angle above the horizontal of not less than 0o nor more than 20°.
8.5.2.                              In the case of side facing 'Seats', the direction of load to the body block attached to the 'Lap Anchorages' must be:
8.5.2.1.                        in a direction towards the front of the vehicle;
8.5.2.2.                        in a vertical plane inclined inboard to a vertical longitudinal plane relative to the vehicle by not more than 20°; and
8.5.2.3.                        at an angle to the horizontal of not less than 5o nor more than 50°.
9.                                          TEST OF SASH GUIDE
9.1.                                    With the upper torso 'Strap' installed in the vehicle, tensile loads of 5 N and 900 N must be applied to it in a direction from the appropriate 'Sash Location Point' towards the 'Upper Torso Reference Point'.
9.2.                                    With the upper torso 'Strap' installed in the vehicle, a tensile load of not less than 8.5 kN must
