Seat belt webbing<br />

Seat belts function as a safety harnesses which secure the passengers in a vehicle against harmful<br />

movements during collision or similar incidents. Seat belts minimise injuries during accidents. Seat<br />

belts are woven narrow fabric made from nylon filament yarns or high tensile polyester filament yarn.<br />

The load specification is an important criterion for usage in vehicles.<br />

According to the Government Notification under Central Motor Vehicle Regulation (CMVR) all four<br />

wheelers have to be equipped with front and rear seat belts. Further, as per the Supreme Court<br />

Notification, all State Governments are expected to ensure that the driver and co-driver use the seat<br />

belts. The usage and demand for seat belts increased after the above two notifications were<br />

implemented.
