Overview
ISO 3776-3:2009 - “Tractors and machinery for agriculture - Seat belts - Part 3: Requirements for assemblies” specifies performance, marking and testing requirements for pelvic restraint (seat) belt assemblies used by operators of agricultural tractors and self‑propelled machinery. The part sets practical assembly-level rules for webbing, hardware (buckles, retractors, attachments), corrosion and durability testing, and user information. Note: assemblies that meet UNECE R16:2000 (clause 6, excluding 6.4) or SAE J386 are deemed to comply.
Key topics and technical requirements
Applications and users
- Who uses ISO 3776-3:
