    Appendix 7

    Determination of the ocular points for a seat with a fixed seat-back angle

    1.

    The position of the ocular points in relation to the R point shall be adjusted as indicated in the table below by X coordinates from the three-dimensional reference grid. The table indicates the basic coordinates for a fixed seat-back angle of 25 degrees. The three-dimensional reference grid for the coordinates is as defined in point 2.3 of Annex I to Directive 77/649/EEC as amended.

    Further correction for fixed seat-back angles other than 25

    The table below indicates the further corrections, from the ocular position with a fixed seat-back angle of 25 degrees, to be made to the X and Z coordinates of the ocular points when the design seat-back angle is not 25 degrees.
