Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 9999 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 173, Assistive products for persons with disability,
Subcommittee SC 2, Classification and terminology.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 9999:2002) which has been technically revised.

ISO 9999:2007(E)
Introduction
Assistive products (including software) are classified according to their function. The classification consists of
three hierarchical levels and the codes each consist of three pairs of digits. Like other classifications, for each
level, codes, titles, explanatory notes, inclusions, exclusions and cross-references are given. Besides the
explanatory text and the classification itself, a table of conversion between the previous (2002) edition and this
edition of this International Standard and an alphabetical index are provided in order to facilitate the use of
and to improve the accessibility of the classification.
In this fourth edition of ISO 9999, the title has been changed from “Technical aids for persons with
disabilities — Classification and terminology” to “Assistive products for persons with disability — Classification
and terminology”. Hence “Technical aids” are referred to as “Assistive products”.
The former class 21 “Aids for communication, information and signalling” has been revised and replaced by a
new class 22 “Assistive products for communication and information”.
Relation to the WHO Family of International Classifications
In 2003, ISO 9999 was accepted as a related member of the WHO Family of International Classifications
(WHO-FIC). The WHO-FIC is comprised of high quality classifications for relevant sectors of the health
system. With this inclusion, the use of this International Standard will be stimulated.
This International Standard makes use of the terminology of the International Classification of Functioning,
Disability and Health (ICF, WHO, 2001). ICF is a classification of health and health-related domains. These
domains are classified from body, individual and societal perspectives by means of two lists: a list of body
functions and structure and a list of domains of activity and participation. Since an individual’s functioning and
disability occurs in a context, ICF also includes a list of environmental factors. The ICF is one of the core
classifications of the WHO-FIC.
A separate document is under development in order to show the relationship between this International
Standard and ICF at the level of codes. This document can be obtained on request from the secretariat of
ISO/TC 173/SC 2.
Proposal for changes
Proposals for changes or additions to this International Standard, both in respect of existing and
proposed new classes/subclasses/divisions, which take into account the given rules for classification,
may be submitted to a national member body of ISO with an accompanying explanation for the
proposal. For addresses of national member bodies see: http://www.iso.org.
NOTE 1 Some of the assistive products for persons with disability can be classified as medical devices, which have to
fulfil the requirements of the Council Directive 93/42 EEC of June 1993. The general requirements for assistive products
for persons with disability are given in EN 12182:1999.
NOTE 2 National member bodies are encouraged to improve the accessibility of the classification by the addition of
national language synonyms to the nationally implemented standard.
NOTE 3 Generally available devices are included when they serve as assistive products for persons with disability.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 9999:2007(E)

Assistive products for persons with disability — Classification
and terminology
1 Scope
This International Standard establishes a classification of assistive products, especially produced or generally
available, for persons with disability.
Assistive products used by a person with disability, but which require the assistance of another person for
their operation, are included in the classification.
The following items are specifically excluded from this International Standard:
⎯ items used for the installation of assistive products;
⎯ solutions obtained by combinations of assistive products which are individually classified in this
International Standard;
⎯ medicines;
⎯ assistive products and instruments used exclusively by healthcare professionals;
⎯ non-technical solutions, such as personal assistance, guide dogs or lip-reading;
⎯ implanted devices;
⎯ financial support.

4 Principle
The classification is based on the function of the products being classified.
In particular, it should be noted that assistive products, which are used exclusively for training in skills, are
included in class 05. Assistive products which have a principle function other than training, but which may also
be used for training, are included in the class covering their principal function.
Software is classified at the division level of the class relating to its function.
5 Elements and rules used in classification
5.1 Construction
The classification consists of three hierarchical levels: termed classes, subclasses and divisions.
Each class, subclass or division consists of a code, a title and, if necessary, an explanatory note and/or
reference to other parts of the classification.
Explanatory notes are used to clarify the content of the class, subclass or division. Inclusions and/or
exclusions are used to provide examples.
References are used for two purposes:
⎯ to separate classes, subclasses or divisions from one another;
⎯ for information, e.g. references between related products.
In general, references are made to the lowest possible level.
ISO 9999:2007(E)
5.2 Codes
5.2.1 The code consists of three pairs of digits.
The first pair of digits indicates a class, the second pair of digits a subclass and the third pair of digits a
division.
For practical reasons, in this International Standard the classes are indicated by one pair of digits only
(deleting two pairs of zeros) and subclasses are indicated by two pairs of digits (deleting one pair of zeros).
The code determines the position of the class, the subclass, or the division respectively in the classification.
5.2.2 The digits for the codes were originally chosen with intervals of three. In subsequent revisions, the
intervening digits have been used to introduce new classes, subclasses and divisions without significantly
modifying the classification.
In this revision, codes, which were originally used to classify items that have been removed from the
classification, are not used to classify new items that have been added to the classification.
5.2.3 Classes 00, 01, 02 and 90 to 99 and the associated subclasses and divisions are reserved for
national applications.
A fixed position 89 is reserved at all levels for assistive products which are categorized as “other”.
In addition, further levels may be added to any part of the classification to serve national or local purposes.
5.2.4 A conversion table detailing the coding changes from the previous revision of the classification to this
revision is given for information in Annex A.
5.3 Titles of classes, subclasses and divisions
5.3.1 As far as possible, the terminology in general use has been adopted.
5.3.2 All titles in the classification are in the plural form.
5.3.3 Titles at class level generally describe a broad area of function, e.g. “Assistive products for
housekeeping”. In classes, titles describing a specific product are only used when the title is broadly applied or
when the function of the product is incorporated in the name, e.g. “Orthoses and prostheses”.
5.3.4 Titles at subclass level describe a special function, e.g. “Assistive products for reading”, within the
broad area covered by the class, e.g. “Assistive products for communication and information”.
5.3.5 Titles at division level refer to particular products e.g. “Book supports and book holders”, covered by
the subclass, e.g. “Assistive products for reading”.
5.3.6 Only in cases where an assistive product is used by persons with a specific disability, age or sex may
the title used refer to that group.
5.4 Rules used in classification
5.4.1 A class is equal to the sum of its subclasses and a subclass is equal to the sum of its divisions.
5.4.2 In general, parts of assistive products, accessories to assistive products, individually adapted
assistive products and individual adaptations in homes and other premises are classified in the same subclass
or division of the assistive product with which they are associated.
4 © ISO 2007 – All rights reserved

ISO 9999:2007(E)
5.4.3 Parts, accessories and adaptations are separately classified when they are associated with a group of
assistive products. In these cases, they are classified as close as possible to the group of assistive products
with which they are associated, e.g.12 07 Accessories for assistive products for walking.
5.4.4 The classification is organized in such a manner that all assistive products can be classified without
being tested or measured.
5.4.5 A classification of hypothetical assistive products is avoided.
5.4.6 The classes are created in such a manner that they do not overlap in the described broad function of
other classes. The subclasses are created in such a manner that they do not overlap in the specific function of
other subclasses. The divisions are created in such a manner that they do not overlap with products in other
divisions.
6 Index
An alphabetical index of terms is provided for information to facilitate access to the classification.
Terms used in inclusions are incorporated in the index and refer to the term in the classification.
7 Classification
