The present invention refers to a seating detection switch comprising a plurality of contacts forming contact pairs to act as at least two switch elements actuatable by pressure generated by the seating of a person which can be allocated to a surface of a seat with a certain distance between them in such a way that a first contact pair is allocated to a first area of the seat and a second contact pair is allocated to a second area of the seat, whereby detection of the seating of a person requires the mutual contact of contacts of a plurality of contact pairs locations and the seating detection switch comprises AND circuits as a condition for the detection of the seating of a person.
