GB 14167-2024Safety-belt anchorages and restraint systems anchorages for occupants of power-driven vehicles (English PDF)

1 Scope

GB 14167 is the companion to GB 14166: where that one governs the belt, this one governs the points on the vehicle body the belt is bolted to. It sets the minimum number and the location of the effective anchorages for each seating position, the strength they must withstand under static load, the alternative dynamic test, and the requirements for ISOFIX child seat anchorages, top tether anchorages and i-Size seating positions. It is the standard a body-in-white is designed and certified against, and the seven normative annexes carry the geometry and the test apparatus. Issued on 29 September 2024, in force since 1 July 2025, replacing GB 14167-2013. This page is published from the official record of the standard held by the Chinese standards administration: the identification, the dates, the classification and the edition it replaces are taken from there. The clause text, the tables and the numeric limits are not reproduced on this page - they are in the document itself, which is delivered in full in English translation.

This document specifies the technical requirements for the safety-belt anchorages and restraint systems anchorages for occupants of power-driven vehicles and describes the test methods and determination of the same type. This document is applicable to the following vehicles.

---Category-M and Category-N vehicles equipped with safety-belt anchorages for adult occupants of forward-facing, rear-facing or side-facing seats;

---Category-M1 vehicles equipped with ISOFIX anchorages system for child restraint system and their top tether anchorage, and other categories of vehicles equipped with ISOFIX anchorages system;

---Vehicles with i-Size seating position.

3.3 floor The underbody connected to the body side panel.

3.4 thorax load limiter function A device on the safety belt, seat and vehicle that can limit the restraint force on the chest of an occupant during a collision.

3.5 ISOFIX An international system that connects the child restraint system to the vehicle through two low anchorages on the vehicle, two corresponding rigid connection devices on the child restraint system, and a device that limits the rollover of the child restraint system.

6 Determination of the Same Type

If the following provisions are satisfied, then, they are regarded as vehicles of the same type.

a) Anchorages for vehicle belt installation. 1) The belt type for each seating position is the same (two-point, three-point, harness); 2) The installation positions of the belt anchorages are the same, and the positions of the effective belt anchorages are the same; 3) The structures and materials on the vehicle body that affect the force applied on the anchorages are the same; 4) The seats are adjusted in the same mode, and the seat adjustment range that affects the angle of the anchorages is the same or reduced; 5) If the belt anchorages are on the seat, the structures and materials that affect the force applied on the seat anchorages are the same, the seat locking devices are the same, and the seat mass is the same or reduced.

b) ISOFIX, i-Size anchorages system and top tether anchorages.
