NATIONAL CAR TEST (NCT) MANUAL 2012 13 SAFETY BELTS (This item does not apply to vehicles registered before the 1st day of June 1971) Method of Testing 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. For vehicles registered on or after the 1st day of June 1971, check that a lap and diagonal type safety belt is provided for the driver and front outer passenger seat. For vehicles registered on or after the 1st day of January 1992, check that all outer forward facing seats are provided with a lap and diagonal type safety belt and all other forward facing seats are provided with a lap and diagonal or lap type safety belt. Pull each safety belt webbing against its anchorage and see that it is properly secured to the vehicle structure. Examine the condition of all safety belt webbing for cuts or obvious signs of deterioration. In the case of the retractable type safety belt ensure that the belt is fully extended during this examination. With the seat unoccupied, fasten the safety belt buckle and check that the adjustment mechanism functions properly. In the case of retractable belts ensure that all the slack is removed and by pulling the belt quickly check that the locking mechanism operates. Attempt to separate the fastened belt at the buckle and check that the belt can be released when required. Examine the condition of the attachment and adjustment fittings on each belt for distortion or fracture. As far as is practicable without dismantling, check the condition of the vehicle structure in the vicinity of the safety belt anchorage points. The condition of floor mounted anchorage points may best be inspected from underneath the vehicle. NOTES 1 Where a vehicle is fitted with seat belts which can only be checked for operation by a road test, it will not be necessary to check the operation of the rear seat belts. Both front seat belts must be checked for operation; however, the visuals should make clear to the owner that the rear seat belts have not been checked for operation.
