Seat Belts for IVA

[Ian Bissett]

I am planning on buying a couple of Sabelt 4 point harnesses with twist buckle. I am pretty sure these are OK for IVA (the belt is FIA approved) but thought it worth checking whether anyone knows why these wouldnt be acceptable?
Thanks
Ian

I'm a bit out of date on this as my car went through SVA however as I remember for the SVA the belts had to have the lower standard 'E' markings which most of the FIA items don't have. There should be specific details in the current IVA manual.

I'm sure you already have a copy of the IVA manual
http://www.mevltd.co.uk/mev/124_IVA_M1_Inspection_Manual_Version_1010.pdf
Page 212 onwards but specifically page 215

A British Standard BS3254 Part 1 1988 or evidence of FIA 8853-98 approval for a harness belt is acceptable
