Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to M and N category vehicles equipped with safety belt anchorages for forward, rearward, or lateral adult seats. It also covers M1 vehicles and other categories equipped with ISOFIX anchorage systems and top tether anchorages for child restraint systems, as well as vehicles featuring i-Size seating positions. It is mandatory for manufacturers of applicable vehicles entering the Chinese market. The standard does not apply to seats used only when the vehicle is stationary, unless anchorages are voluntarily provided.
Technical requirements
The standard specifies comprehensive technical requirements for the design, manufacturing, and installation of safety belt and restraint system anchorages. Key areas include the minimum number of anchorages required for different seating positions and vehicle categories, as defined in Appendix B. It mandates specific geometric positioning for lower and upper effective belt anchorages, including angle limits relative to the H-point and minimum distances between lower anchorages. For ISOFIX systems, it dictates the dimensions and positioning of the two lower anchorages and the top tether anchorage zone. The standard introduces new requirements for i-Size seating positions, including mandatory permanent labeling and specific spatial evaluation volumes for support legs to ensure proper interaction with the vehicle floor. Manufacturers must ensure that all anchorages withstand prescribed static loads without structural failure, maintaining minimum displacement limits.
Testing methods
The standard outlines rigorous testing procedures to verify anchorage strength and positioning. Primary methods include static strength tests using standardized human body modules (as detailed in Appendix D) to apply specific tensile loads to upper and lower anchorages simultaneously. For ISOFIX and i-Size systems, it specifies tests using a Static Force Application Device (SFAD) to apply forward and oblique forces, evaluating the strength of lower anchorages, top tethers, and vehicle floor contact surfaces. Additionally, an alternative dynamic test (detailed in Appendix E) using a sled and specified dummies (Appendix F) is permitted for seat groups equipped with three-point belts and thorax load limiters.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 14167-2024?
It regulates safety belt anchorages, ISOFIX anchorage systems, top tether anchorages, and i-Size seating positions in M and N category power-driven vehicles.
Are there any updates from the previous version of GB 14167-2024?
Yes, compared to GB 14167-2013, this version introduces requirements for i-Size seating positions, updates definitions for ISOFIX positions, and adds specific testing methods for lateral seats and i-Size floor strength.
How does GB 14167-2024 differ from ISO standards?
While it references international measurement standards like ISO 6487 for impact test instrumentation, GB 14167-2024 is a mandatory Chinese national standard tailored to domestic vehicle classification (M and N categories) and specific regulatory requirements for the Chinese market.
