Foreword
Chapter 4, 5, 6 to 7 of this Standard is mandatory and the rest are recommended.
This Standard is drafted according to the rules specified in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This Standard replaces GB14166-2003 Safety-belts and Restraint Systems for Occupants
of Power-driven Vehicles.
The main differences between this Standard and GB14166-2003:
a) MODIFY the name of the standard
MODIFY the name of the standard to be: Safety-belts, restraint systems, child restraint
systems and ISOFIX child restraint systems for occupants of power-driven vehicles (the
former name was: Safety belt and restraint system for adult occupants of power-driven
vehicles).
b) MODIFY the scope of application of the standard;
 For the M, N types vehicles; there are belts and restraint system solely used as
independent equipment for the adult occupants on forward-facing or rearward-facing seats.
 The M, N type’s vehicles are equipped with belts and restraint system solely used as
independent equipment for the adult occupants on forward-facing or rearward-facing seats.
 The M 1 type and N 1 type vehicles are equipped with the child restraint system and
ISOFIX child restraint system.
 The M 1 type vehicles are equipped with seatbelt reminder.
c) Retracting force
The measurement requirements of retracting force with tension-reduce device are
added. When measuring the retracting force under the operation condition of the tension-
reduce device, the retracting force can be reduced to 0.5 N; and if the retractor assembly
is equipped with tension-reduce device , before and after the durability test, the retracting
force of strap shall be measured when the tension-reduce device works and doesn’t work
(4.2.5.3.4 of this Edition).
d) Dynamic performance
 The dynamic performance requirements of the safety belt with pre-loading device are
modified. For safety belt with pre-loading device, the pre-loading device shall work in the
GB 14166-2013
dynamic test (4.4.1.2 of this Edition). The 2003 edition requirements require that under the
two dynamic tests, the pre-loading device shall be tested respectively when it works and
doesn’t work (4.4.1.2.4 of 2003 edition).
 The dynamic performance requirements of the safety belt with tension-reduce device
are added. The tension-reduce device shall be gone through dynamic test in the operating
mode (4.4.1.2 of this Edition).
 The limit scope of displacement of the dummy’s reference point is modified. For
restraint system, when the top anchorage is installed on the seat, according to 4.5.4
reduction and exemption rules in the GB14167-2013, the displacement can be larger than
value specified in 4.4.1.3b) (4.4.1.5 of this Edition); and for harness belts, the minimum
displacement specified in 4.4.1.3 b) can be reduced by half [4.4.1.3b of 2003 edition]. The
dynamic test of 2003 edition does not contain the relevant reduction and exemption rules
for top anchorage of safety belt installed on the seat and the relevant regulations of harness
belts.
e) The test method available to take acceleration block device for dynamic test is added
(5.7.5 of this Edition). In the 2003 edition, there are only contents related to deceleration
block device.
f) The installation requirements of safety belt and restraint system on vehicles are added
(6 of this Edition).
g) Annex B is added which states the installation requirements of the adult safety belt
and restraint system of power-driven vehicle forward-facing seat as well as that of the
ISOFIX child restraint systems.
h) Annex N is added which states the minimum requirements of the safety belts and the
retractor.
i) Annex O is added which states the safety belt reminder device test.
j) Annex Q is added which sates the confirmed program of power-driven vehicle seating
position H point and the actual backrest angle, and the H point device that is described in
KSO6549:1999.
The technical differences between this Standard and ECE R16 regulations in the United
Regulations on Safety-Belts, Restraint Systems, Child Restraint Systems and ISOFIX
GB 14166-2013
Child Restraint Systems for Occupants of Power-driven Vehicles (English version) and the
reasons are as follows:
a) The definition of 2.10 terms in ECE R16 is modified from the children restraint to child
restraint system and the definition in GB27887-2011 Restraint System Restraint System
for Child Occupant Power-driven Vehicle is directly adopted;
b) The retracting force bench test method (5.6.4.3 of this Edition) is added, as well as the
operability of the standard;
c) The "Certification application" in chapter 3 of ECE R16, "Marking" in chapter 4,
"Certification" in chapter 5, "Production consistency" in chapter 9, " Punishment on
production inconsistency" in chapter 10, " Changes and the extension of the vehicle models
or safety belts and restraint systems certification" in chapter 11, "Formal production
cessation" in chapter 12, "The names and addresses of the certification test departments
and administrative departments" in chapter 14, Annex 1 A " Notice of safety belt certification
approval, certification extension, certification rejection, certification revocation or official
cessation according to the ECE R16", Annex 1 B "Notice of certification approval,
certification extension, certification rejection, certification revocation or official cessation
related to power-driven vehicles belts and adult occupants restraint system according to
the ECE R16", Annex 2 "The arrangement example of the certification marks" related to
the contents of the certification program and certification marks was deleted. And the
reason was the differences in the form of standardized system and regulatory system.
Annex A describes the contrast list of the chapter and article numbers of this Standard and
ECE R16 regulations.
In order to be convenient, the following editorial modification was made in regulations part
of ECE R16:
a) "The regulations" is modified to "the standard";
b) cm2 is modified to mm2; daN is modified to N;
c) The informative Annex A is added.

Q.4.6 Install the feet and shank assemblies on the base plane assembly, which can be
done separately and also can adopt the installation of T-type pole and shank assembly.
The straight line through the two H point mark buttons shall be parallel to the ground and
perpendicular to the vertical center plane of the seat.
Q.4.7 HPM' s feet and shanks shall be placed according to the following provisions:
a) Driver seat position
1) When the leg is adopted length of 50 percentile, the feet and shank assemblies move
forward to make the feet in a natural position, and if the machine's right foot bottom does
not step on the accelerator, the feet can naturally step in the floor. If necessary, the legs
shall be stretched out to the area between manipulate pedals, in this case, the driver heel
points shall be specified by the manufacturer. If necessary, ADJUST the seat plate or
backward ADJUST the legs and feet assembly to make the machine used to verify the
transverse level keep horizontal. The adjustment method is as following:
—— Left foot on the floor or toe bearing and make the distances of left foot and right foot
to center plane of HPM roughly equal. The straight line through the two H point mark
buttons shall be parallel to the ground and perpendicular to the vertical center plane of the
seat.
—— If the left leg can't keep parallel with the right leg and the left foot cannot be supported
by the framework, ADJUST the length of the left leg and/or angle of the left foot, move the
left foot until it can be supported and maintain the t alignment conditions of the two mark
button, and then tighten adjustment machine of the legs pole again.
—— When the angle of the foot is in a minimum value of 87°, in which the right heel point
of the machine can only be placed on toe bearing instead of being put on the floor, move
the foot until the heel can touch the connection between toe bearing and the floor coating,
and then turn the foot until it contacts the accelerator pedal.
2) When the leg is adopted length of 95 percentile, the right foot and the shank assembly
is placed on the accelerator pedal and the heel support is on the floor. Moving forward
possibly far as specified by the manufacturer, and insert the HPM limit pin into the foot
assembly, making the angle of foot not less than 87° with the machine's feet bottom

Q.5.1 Backplane and seat board
The backplane and seat plate are made of reinforced plastic and metal; and they are used
to mimic human torso and thigh, with both mechanically articulated in H point. A protractor
is fixed in the detection probe hinged on the H point, used to measure the actual backrest
angel. The adjustable thigh pole fixed the seat plate determines the center line of the thigh
and is regarded as a baseline of hip protractor.
Q.5.2 Body and shank parts
The shank pole is connected with the seat plate assembly at the T-type pole of the knee,
and the T-shaped pole is a horizontally extension of the adjustable thigh pole. Shank rod
is equipped with protractor to measure the angle at knee. Shoes and feet assemblies are
engraved with number of degrees to measure the angle at feet. Two horizontal level
machines determine the spatial location of machines, and all body heavy blocks are put on
the corresponding gravity centers to provide the same pressure of a 76 kg man to the seat.
All the joints of the 3-DH machine need checking to move freely without obvious fractions.
A. The machine is consistent with the description in ISO 6549; 1980.
GB 14166-2013
Q.6 Three-dimensional reference system
Q.6.1 The three-dimensional reference system is defined with three orthogonal planes
set by the vehicle manufacturers (see FIG. Q.3) 4
Q.6.2 Vehicle measurement profile is determined by the placed location of the vehicles
on the surface of the support, and when placing the vehicles, make the coordinates of the
benchmark according to the value given by the manufacturer.
Q.6.3 Determine the coordinates of R and H points corresponding to the benchmark
given by the vehicle manufacturers.
Q.7 Reference data relating to the seating position
Q.7.1 Reference data code
Reference data of each seating position is listed in sequence. The seating position is
expressed with double-digit code. The first digit is Arabic numerals indicating number of
row of seats counted from front to back. The second digit refers to the capital letter of
seating position at a certain row. When observe along the traveling forward of the vehicle,
use the following letters to express;
L—— Left side
C—— In the middle
R—— Right side
Q.7.2 Description of vehicle measuring posture
Coordinates of each reference mark:
X……
Y……
Z……
4 This basic system complies with the requirements of ISO 4130:1978.
