Dear Mr. Klopp: This responds to your fax of January 30, 1992 to Mar Versailles of my staff asking whether the anchorage strength test in Standard No. 210, Seat belt assembly anchorages, requires simultaneous testing of seat belt anchorages located on the seat frame of a seat having multiple seating positions. Under the current requirements of S4.2.4 of Standard No. 210, only floor-mounted anchorages are subject to simultaneous testing. The requirement applicable to vehicles with seat- mounted safety belt anchorages, S4.2.4 of Standard No. 210, has been changed, effective September 1, 1992. For a vehicle manufactured on or after that date, seat-mounted anchorages will be tested simultaneously by loading all anchorages common to the same occupant seat. I hope you find this information helpful. If you have any further questions please contact Mary Versailles at this address or by phone at (202) 366-2992. Sincerely, Paul Jackson Rice Chief Counsel;
