Textual Amendments

F2 Substituted by Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/166 of 3 February 2015 supplementing and amending Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the inclusion of specific procedures, assessment methods and technical requirements, and amending Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, and Commission Regulations (EU) No 1003/2010, (EU) No 109/2011 and (EU) No 458/2011 (Text with EEA relevance).

Additional requirements for testing the wheelchair tie down and occupant restraint system U.K.

Note : The following sections 1. and either section 2. or 3. shall apply. U.K.

0. Definitions U.K.

0.1. Surrogate wheelchair (SWC) is a rigid, re-usable test wheelchair, as defined in section 3 of ISO 10542-1:2012. U.K.

0.2. Point P is a representation of the position of the wheelchair occupant's hip when seated in the SWC, as defined in section 3 of ISO 10542-1:2012. U.K.

1. General requirements U.K.

1.1. Each wheelchair location shall be provided with anchorages to which a wheelchair tie-down and occupant restraint system (WTORS) shall be fitted. U.K.

1.2. The wheelchair occupant’s lower belt anchorages shall be located in accordance with UNECE Regulation 14-07, paragraph 5.4.2.2, relative to Point P on the SWC when placed in the travelling position designated by the manufacturer. The upper actual anchorage (s) shall be located at least 1 100 mm above the horizontal plane passing through the points of contact between the rear tyres of the SWC and the vehicle floor. This condition shall still be satisfied after the test carried out according to paragraph 2. below. U.K.

1.3. An assessment shall be made of the WTORS occupant belt to ensure compliance with the provisions of UNECE Regulation 16-06 paragraphs 8.2.2 to 8.2.2.4 and 8.3.1 to 8.3.4. U.K.

1.4. The minimum number of ISOFIX child seat anchorages need not to be provided. In the case of a multi-stage approval where an ISOFIX anchorage system has been affected by the conversion, the system shall either be re-tested or the anchorages shall be rendered unusable. In the latter case the ISOFIX labels shall be removed and appropriate information given to the vehicle purchaser. U.K.

2. Static in-vehicle testing U.K.

2.1. Wheelchair occupant restraint anchorages U.K.

2.1.1. The wheelchair occupant restraint anchorages shall resist the static forces prescribed for occupant restraint anchorages in UNECE Regulation 14-07 simultaneously with the static forces applied to the wheelchair tie-down anchorages as specified in 2.2 below. U.K.

2.2. Wheelchair tie-down anchorages U.K.

The wheelchair tie-down anchorages shall resist the following forces, for at least 0.2 seconds, applied via the SWC (or a suitable surrogate wheelchair having a wheelbase, seat height and tie-down attachment points in accordance with the specification for the SWC), at a height of 300 +/– 100 mm from the surface on which the SWC rests:

2.2.1.

In the case of a forward-facing wheelchair, a simultaneous force, coincident with the force applied to the occupant restraint anchorages, of 24,5 kN and

2.2.2.

a second test applying a static force of 8,2 kN directed towards the rear of the vehicle.

2.2.3.

In the case of a rearward-facing wheelchair, a simultaneous force, coincident with the force applied to the occupant restraint anchorages, of 8,2 kN and

2.2.4.

a second test applying a static force of 24,5 kN directed towards the front of the vehicle.

2.3. Components of the system U.K.

2.3.1. All components of the WTORS shall meet the relevant requirements of ISO 10542-1:2012. However, the dynamic test specified in Annex A and paragraphs 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 of ISO 10542-1:2012 shall be carried out on the complete WTORS using the vehicle anchorage geometry instead of the test geometry specified in Annex A of ISO 10542-1:2012. This may be carried out within the vehicle structure or on a surrogate structure representative of the vehicle’s WTORS anchorage geometry. The location of each anchorage shall lie within the tolerance provided for in point 7.7.1 of UNECE Regulation No 16-06. U.K.

2.3.2. Where the occupant restraint part of the WTORS is approved according to UNECE Regulation No 16-06, it shall be subject to the dynamic test of the complete WTORS specified in paragraph 2.3.1, but the requirements of Paragraphs 5.1, 5.3 and 5.4 of ISO10542-1:2012 shall be considered to have been met. U.K.

3. Dynamic in-vehicle testing U.K.

3.1. The full assembly of the WTORS system shall be tested by an in-vehicle dynamic test in line with paragraphs 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 and Annex A of ISO 10542-1:2012, testing all components/anchorages simultaneously, using a vehicle body-in-white or representative structure. U.K.

3.2. The component parts of the WTORS shall meet the relevant requirements of ISO10542-1:2012 paragraphs 5.1, 5.3 and 5.4. These requirements shall be deemed to have been met in respect of the occupant restraint if it is approved according to UNECE Regulation No 16-06.] U.K.
