## Abstract

This document amends the procedures for testing the strength of seat belt anchorages in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages." The amendments clarify the positioning of the test device currently specified in the standard and add an optional test device (and corresponding test procedures) as a certification alternative. These amendments respond to an earlier court decision which found that the regulatory test procedures do not provide manufacturers adequate notice of how NHTSA would conduct the test.
