Partitioning systems. At the request of the vehicle manufacturer, the test described in Annex 9 may be carried out with the partitioning systems in place, if these systems are fitted as standard equipment for the particular type of vehicle. Partitioning systems, netting wire mesh located above the seat-backs in their normal position of use, shall be tested according to paragraph 2.2. of Annex 9. This requirement is deemed to be met if, during the test, the partitioning systems remain in position. However, the deformation of the partitioning systems during the test is permitted, provided that the forward contour of the partitioning (including parts of the tested seat-back(s) and/or head restraint(s) that are harder than 50 Shore A does not move forward of a transverse vertical plane which passes through:
Partitioning systems. For integrated head restraint, the limit between the head restraint and the seat- back is the one defined in paragraph 5.12.1. All measurements ..." Paragraph 5.16.3.(former), renumber as paragraph 5.12.3. and amend to read:
