Buckle Clause Samples

Buckle. 6.7.1.1. The buckle shall be so designed as to preclude any possibility of incorrect manipulation. This means, inter/alia, that it shall not be possible for the buckle to be left in a partially closed position; it shall not be possible to exchange the buckle parts inadvertently when the buckle is being locked; the buckle shall only lock when all parts are engaged. Wherever the buckle is in contact with the child, it shall not be narrower than the minimum width of strap as specified in paragraph 6.7. 4.1.1. below. This paragraph is not applicable to belt assemblies already approved according to Regulation No. 16 or any equivalent standard in force. In the case of a "Special Needs Restraint" only the buckle on the primary means of restraint need comply with the requirements of paragraphs 6.7.1.2. to 6.7.1.8.

Buckle. 8.2.1.1. Opening test under load 8.2.1.1.1. A child restraint already having been subjected to the dynamic test specified in paragraph 8.1.3. shall be used for this test. 8.2.1.1.2. The child restraint shall be removed from the test trolley or the vehicle without opening the buckle. A tension of 200 ± 2 N shall be applied to the buckle. If the buckle is attached to a rigid part, the force shall be applied reproducing the angle formed between the buckle and that rigid part during the dynamic test. 8.2.1.1.3. A load shall be applied at a speed of 400 ± 20 mm/min to the geometric centre of the buckle-release button along a fixed axis running parallel to the initial direction of motion of the button; the geometric centre applies to that part of the surface of the buckle to which the release pressure is to be applied. The buckle shall be secured against a rigid support during the application of the opening force. 8.2.1.1.4. The buckle opening force shall be applied, using a dynamometer or similar device in the manner and direction of normal use. The contact end shall be a polished metal hemisphere with radius 2.5 ± 0.1 mm. 8.2.1.1.5. The buckle opening force shall be measured and any failure noted. 8.2.1.2. Opening test under zero load 8.2.1.2.1. A buckle assembly which has not previously been subjected to a load shall be mounted and positioned under a "no load" condition. 8.2.1.2.2. The method of measuring the buckle opening force shall be as prescribed in paragraphs 8.2.1.1.3. and 8.2.1.1.4. 8.2.1.2.3. The buckle opening force shall be measured.

Buckle. Buckle shall be 1-5/8” wide by 2-1/16” high, with gold or silver "S.D.F.D" buckle appropriate to rank. Buckles are to be tarnish-free and require no polishing. (See Attachment D). Buckle MUST be manufactured by Sun Badge. Sun Badge moniker must be present on back of buckle to ensure authenticity.

Buckle. 6.2.2.1. The buckle shall be so designed as to preclude any possibility of incorrect use. This means, inter alia, that it must not be possible for the buckle to be left in a partially-closed condition. The procedure for opening the buckle must be evident. The parts of the buckle likely to contact the body of the wearer shall present a section of not less than 20 cm2 and at least 46 mm in width, measured in a plane situated at a maximal distance of 2.5 mm from the contact surface. In the case of harness belt buckles, the latter requirement shall be regarded as satisfied if the contact area of the buckle with the wearer's body is comprised between 20 and 40 cm2. 6.2.2.2. The buckle, even when not under tension, shall remain closed whatever the position of the vehicle. It shall not be possible to release the buckle inadvertently, accidentally or with a force of less than 1 ▇▇▇. The buckle shall be easy to use and to grasp; when it is not under tension and when under the tension specified in paragraph 7.8.2. below, it shall be capable of being released by the wearer with a single simple movement of one hand in one direction; in addition, in the case of belt assemblies intended to be used for the front outboard seats, except in these harness belts, it shall also be capable of being engaged by the wearer with a simple movement of one hand in one direction. The buckle shall be released by pressing either a button or a similar device. The surface to which this pressure is applied shall have the following dimensions, with the button in the actual release position and when projected into a plane perpendicular to the button's initial direction of motion: for enclosed buttons, an area of not less than 4.5 cm2 and a width of not less than 15 mm; for non-enclosed buttons, an area of not less than 2.5 cm2 and a width of not less than 10 mm. The buckle release area shall be coloured red. No other part of the buckle shall be of this colour. 6.2.2.3. The buckle, when tested in accordance with paragraph 7.5.3. below, shall operate normally. 6.2.2.4. The buckle shall be capable of withstanding repeated operation and, prior to the dynamic test specified in paragraph 7.7. shall undergo 5,000 opening and closing cycles under normal conditions of use. In the case of harness belt buckles, this test may be carried out without all the tongues being introduced. 6.2.2.5. The force required to open the buckle in the test as prescribed in paragraph 7.8. below shall not exceed 6 ▇▇▇. 6.2...

Buckle. 7.2.1.1. The buckle shall be so designed as to preclude any possibility of incorrect manipulation. This means, inter/alia, that it must not be possible for the buckle to be left in a partially closed position; it must not be possible to exchange the buckle parts inadvertently when the buckle is being locked; the buckle must only lock when 4.1.1 below. This paragraph is not applicable to belt assemblies already approved according to ECE Regulation No. 16 or any equivalent standard in force. In the case of a "Special Needs Restraint" only the buckle on the primary means of restraint need comply with the requirements of
