Specifies requirements for anchorages for use in securing cargo in vehicles where the occupants share the same interior space as the cargo.
Scope
This Standard specifies requirements for anchorages for use in securing cargo in vehicles where the occupants share the same interior space as the cargo. It is intended to provide the means by which, using appropriate restraint assemblies, cargo can be restrained so as to reduce injuries to occupants caused by cargo shifting. Provision is made for the restraint of single items of cargo up to 125 kg, utilizing the capacity of at least two floor-mounted anchorages.
Design and performance criteria are covered, and installation and usage instructions are to be provided for anchorages if fitted by the vehicle manufacturer or intended for retrofitting into a vehicle.
NOTE: Appendix A states the rationale for specifying the strength of anchorage points.
Appendix B and Appendix C set out the test procedures for determining the strength of floor-mounted and wall-mounted anchorages respectively.
