Abstract

This part of ISO 7176 specifies requirements for static, impact, and fatigue strength of wheelchairs
including scooters. It specifies the test methods for determining whether the requirements have been
met. It also specifies requirements for disclosure of the test results.
The test methods can also be used to verify the manufacturers’ claims that a product exceeds the
minimum requirements of this part of ISO 7176.
This International Standard applies to occupant- and attendant-propelled manual wheelchairs and
electrically powered wheelchairs intended to provide indoor and outdoor mobility for people with
disabilities.
NOTE 1 For the purposes of this part of ISO 7176, “wheelchair(s)” is used as an abbreviation for manual
wheelchair(s) or electrically powered wheelchair(s), including scooter(s), to which the requirements and test
methods are applied.
NOTE 2 Clauses of this part of ISO 7176 will be used as a basis for developing requirements and test methods
for wheelchairs not covered by this part of ISO 7176.
