MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT

Regulations Amending the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations (Seat Belt Anchorages and Windshield Mounting — Air Bags)

Notice is hereby given that a portion of the Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement (RIAS) published with the Regulations Amending the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations (Seat Belt Anchorages and Windshield Mounting — Air Bags), SOR/2003-57, in the Canada Gazette, Part II, Vol. 137, No. 5, on February 26, 2003, did not accurately reflect certain requirements of the amendment;

The errors occurred after the third paragraph of the RIAS on pages 677 and 678 of the Canada Gazette, under the heading The Requirements Governing Seat Belt Assemblies, in the description of the amendments made to subsections 210(7) and (8) of Schedule IV to the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations, and under the heading Updating the Terminology used in Section 212, "Windshield Mounting", in the description of the amendments made to subsections 212(3) and (4) of Schedule IV to the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations;

The portion starting after the third paragraph of the RIAS and before the heading Effective Date should have read as follows:

"As part of its ongoing compliance program, the Department of Transport ("the Department") tests seat belt anchorage strength to verify that the requirements of section 210 are being met. During the course of this testing, an ambiguity in the wording of subsections 210(7), (8) and (9) came to light, which this amendment clarifies. Subsection 210(7) formerly read as follows:

• Except in the case of side-facing seats, when seat belt anchorages for a Type 1 manual seat belt assembly or the pelvic portion of a Type 2 manual seat belt assembly that is equipped with a detachable upper torso restraint are tested for strength in accordance with Test Method 210 — Seat Belt Anchorages (December 1996), the anchorages shall withstand a force of 22 240 N.

"The meaning of the word "withstand" is being clarified by replacing this subsection with the following:

• Except in the case of side-facing seats, when the seat belt anchorages for a Type 1 manual seat belt assembly or for the pelvic portion of a Type 2 manual seat belt assembly that is equipped with a detachable upper torso restraint are tested for strength in accordance with Test Method 210 — Seat Belt Anchorages (December 1996) by applying a force of 22 240 N, none of the seat belt anchorages shall separate completely from the vehicle structure or seat structure.

"The above change also applies to subsection 210(8), which previously read as follows:

• When seat belt anchorages for a Type 2 manual seat belt assembly are tested for strength in accordance with Test Method 210 — Seat Belt Anchorages (December 1996), the anchorages for the pelvic portion and the upper torso portion shall withstand a force of 13 344 N applied simultaneously.

"Subsection 210(8) is replaced with the following:

• When the seat belt anchorages for the pelvic portion and for the upper torso portion of a Type 2 manual seat belt assembly are tested for strength in accordance with Test Method 210 — Seat Belt Anchorages (December 1996) by simultaneously applying a force of 13 344 N, none of the seat belt anchorages shall separate completely from the vehicle structure or seat structure.

"This amendment also revokes subsection 210(9), which beforehand read as follows:

• Permanent deformation or rupture of a seat belt anchorage during the test shall not be considered a failure to comply with subsection (7) or (8) if the required force is maintained for 10 seconds.

"Since the word "withstand" has been removed from subsections 210(7) and (8), the entire test is set out in the new subsections (7) and (8). It is therefore no longer necessary to include subsection (9) to clarify the meaning of "withstand".

"In addition, the changes to subsections 210(7) and (8) require the correction of terminology relating to both "structure du véhicule" and "structure du siège" in certain provisions of the French version of the Regulations.

"These changes to section 210 eliminate any existing ambiguity concerning the testing requirements for seat belt anchorages, thereby facilitating enforcement.

Updating the Terminology used in Section 212, "Windshield Mounting"

"Formerly, the term "automatic occupant protection system" was used to refer to "air bag" in section 212, which sets windshield retention requirements for motor vehicles in the case of a collision. This amendment replaces the term "automatic occupant protection system" with "air bag". Subsection 212(3) formerly read as follows:

• For the purposes of subsection (2), a vehicle that is equipped at a designated seating position with an automatic occupant protection system and that meets the requirements of section 208 shall retain not less than 50 per cent of the windshield periphery on each side of the vehicle longitudinal centre line.

"This amendment replaces subsection 212(3) with the following:

• For the purposes of subsection (2), a vehicle that meets the requirements of section 208 and is equipped with an air bag at a front designated seating position shall retain not less than 50 per cent of the windshield periphery on each side of the vehicle longitudinal centre line.

"The amendment also makes changes to subsection 212(4), which previously read as follows:

• For the purposes of subsection (2), a vehicle that is not equipped at a designated seating position with an automatic occupant protection system and that meets the requirement of section 208 shall retain not less than 75 per cent of the windshield periphery.

"Subsection 212(4) is being replaced with the following:

• For the purposes of subsection (2), a vehicle that meets the requirements of section 208 but is not equipped with an air bag at a front designated seating position shall retain not less than 75 per cent of the windshield periphery.

"These changes update section 212 and harmonize its wording with that of sections 201 and 208."

Transport Canada has advised all manufacturers and stakeholders of the error contained in the RIAS and intends to publish this Notice on its Web site.
