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.
