Seat belt anchorage compliance

On my travels through the interweb I found a registration article talking about this;

https://www.gov.uk/government/ publications/iva-declaration-form-for-seat-belt-anchorage-compliance-iva-19a-and-19b

Comparing it to the IVA manual section 19 I believe that this is where it comes into play;

quote:

1. Evidence of type approval
2. Documentary evidence of testing to the Directive standard
3. Comparison with a type approved vehicle
4. Visual assessment


However for an average Locost we're looking at option 4 and therefore the declaration form is not required. Is that correct, does this form have any relevance to a home build car?

Just visual, they use a tool to check top mounting height as per manual
