Seatbelt webbing

Can anyone point me to very specific info on automotive seat belt manufacturers and their test methods?

I am a polymer engineer and carseat nerd. Recently I had to install a carseat using the seat belt webbing and started to think about a (bad) phenomenon called strain-induced crystallization and polymer relaxation in filaments like nylon and PP from which seatbelt webbing is made. I cannot think of any application of automotive seat belts that would require them to be under high strain for long amounts of time.

(I do not expect a ton of responses but hoped someone here might know and take far less time to weed out the false google leads.)

I don't know about the testing, but I do know that one of the concerns about using the Mighty Tite is that you can get the belt so tight that it might shock the webbing... At least that's one of the points brought up in our CPST course...
