Right - for DEs the minimum standards, as one might expect, do not require more than what the car came equipped with (at least for cars built from the point where three point belts were installed).

Regions, though, can impose stricter standards. Usually this would only be done on modified cars, on the theory that the car now had more performance potential than what it was designed for. But you have to check to know for sure.
