In the case of front and rear facing 'Seats', the direction of load to the body blocks shall be:
5.5.5.1.1.                  'Forward' of the seating position;
5.5.5.1.2.                  parallel to the 'Seating Reference Plane'
5.5.5.1.3.                  in the case of pelvic restraint, at an angle above the horizontal of not less than 5o nor more than 50o; and
5.5.5.1.4.                  in the case of upper torso restraint, at an angle above the horizontal of not less than 0o nor more than 20o.
5.5.5.2.                        In the case of side facing 'Seats', the direction of load to the body block attached to the 'Lap 'Anchorages' shall be:
5.5.5.2.1.                  in a direction towards the front of the vehicle:
5.5.5.2.2.                  in a vertical plane inclined inboard to a vertical longitudinal plane relative to the vehicle by not more than 20o; and
5.5.5.2.3.                  at an angle to the horizontal of not less than 5o nor more than 50o.
5.6.                                    test OF 'SASH GUIDE'
5.6.1.                              With the upper torso 'Strap' installed in the vehicle, tensile loads of 5 N and 900 N shall be applied to it in a direction from the appropriate 'Sash Location Point' towards the 'Upper Torso Reference Point'.
5.6.2.                              With the upper torso 'Strap' installed in the vehicle, a tensile load of not less than 8.5 kN shall be applied to the 'Strap' in a direction from the appropriate 'Sash Location Point' towards the 'Upper Torso Reference Point'.
5.7.                                    SEATING POSITIONS
5.7.1.                              Single 'Seats'- A 'Seat' shall be regarded as providing for one seating position only if the effective cushion width is less than 820 mm.
5.7.2.                              Multiple 'Seats' - If the effective cushion width is 820 mm or more, the number of seating positions shall be the number of complete multiples of 410 mm unless the nature of obstructions: or peculiarities of design results in the 'Seat' being 'Approved' for a lesser number of seating positions.
5.7.2.1.                        Where a 'Seat' with an effective cushion width, as determined by Clause 5.7.3, of 1230 mm or more has its 'Seat' cushion and 'Seat' back so contoured as to provide one or 2 clearly identifiable seating positions, the 'Seat' will be considered as providing for 2 seating positions only if one or more of the following conditions are met:
5.7.2.1.1.                  where the 'Seat' consists of 2 separate 'Seats' with an intervening gap, which may be filled with an insert;
5.7.2.1.2.                  where there are 2 contoured seating positions, the lateral distance between their centrelines is less than 820 mm; or
5.7.2.1.3.                  where there is one contoured seating position the lateral distance from its centreline to the far end of the adjacent 'Seat' cushion, or to its side wall if this is less than 100 mm from the end of
