This Amendment is effective from 5 December 1996.
Background: Initially HEMCO seat belts and harnesses were manufactured under CFS approval.
However, later seat belts and harnesses have been manufactured and repaired by HEMCO without approval. Recent tests have indicated that inappropriate webbing material with the original hardware may result in the belt slipping when loaded.
Amendment 1 was issued to include HEMCO belts which have been re-webbed and no longer have a Hemco label and to provide further information for identification of unacceptable belts.
Amendment 2 is issued to include seat belts with P/N CF1010. Examples of these belts have been found with incorrect webbing material. The compliance time has been extended.
