Does it fullfil to all legal requirements in UK I cant say, I dont know your country laws and regulations, but I think you will see many installing this, legal or not.
In South Africa we dont have back side airbags in our 4 seater.

It surprised me that there is no requirement to fit seat belts to rear seats in a van. However, the section regarding load space might apply, if the van is not capable of carrying cargo, only passengers then it might need to be re-classified as a car or mini bus and therefore need to meet the requirements of that vehicle class.
Getting it re-classified might prove an issue.

In SA we don't have the commercial version, but if we would have it here, believe me in South Africa with our diverse population, be sure that a "reclassification" wil only be done by owner in 0.0001% of instances out of his/her own free will.

And the difference will be noted only by 0.0001% of police. We do not have things like yearly MOT inspections.
Once registered you drive it till it fall apart

I would like to install seats in the back of my Jimny but cannot find the parts to do so (I live in France) where did you find the seats and seat belts? are there suppliers in your area?

Matthieu, you may want to visit the German forum (suzuki-jimny.info/forum). There is a newer thread there about a German enthusiast putting back seats in his Jimny NCV, which the Germans refer to as model HJ.
Personally I am quite skeptical that it can be done safely and legally, but I am not an expert.
Regarding buying the seats and related components, it is probably easier to find parts taken from a 2018/19 Jimny than to try to order new items from the main dealers. The Suzuki company will probably not want to help with such a project.
