4.4.4.                              In the case of a 'Lap-Sash Belt' incorporating a retractor, the design shall be such that in the fully retracted position, the 'Buckle Component' associated with the retracting 'Strap' must adopt a position that is either:
4.4.4.1.                          'Accessible'; and
4.4.4.1.1.                  within 300 mm of both foremost and rearmost points on the 'Seating Reference Locus' when viewed in side elevation or within 300 mm of Point 0 and Point N when viewed in side elevation; and
4.4.4.1.2.                  within 400 mm of the 'Seating Reference Plane' when viewed in plan; or

4.4.4.3.                        This requirement shall not apply to a seating position adjacent to an access door, where the 'Seat' must hinge or fold to permit access to another seating position.
4.4.5.                              In the case of a vehicle with one front seating position only, or with 2 front 'Seats' each providing for one seating position only, the 'Buckle Component' on that part of a 'Lap-Sash Belt' which does not include the retracting 'Strap' shall be supported by a rigid member which may pivot, or in such a manner that after being correctly fitted for a '95th Percentile Adult Male' with the 'Seat' in the foremost driving or riding position, unlatching of the buckle assembly and removal of the occupant  from the seating position does not result in any point on the component moving downwards such that the vertical component of movement is more than 50 mm.
4.4.5.1.                        When unlatched after the assembly has been correctly fitted for a '95th Percentile Adult Male' with the 'Seat' in the foremost driving or riding position and a '5th Percentile Adult Female' with the 'Seat' in the rearmost driving or riding position, independently, there shall be a point on the component which is:
