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 had
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.
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.
International Standard ISO 9999 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 173,
Technical systems and aids
for disabled or handicapped persons, Subcommittee SC 2 Classification and terminology.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 9999:1992), which has been technically revised. A
conversion table, available from the ISO/TC 173/SC 2 Secretariat, presents the changes from the previous edition.
Annex A of this International Standard is for information only.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD  ISO ISO 9999:1998(E)
Technical aids for disabled persons — Classification
1  Scope
This International Standard establishes a classification of technical aids for disabled persons. At present, it is
restricted to those technical aids which are used mainly by an individual disabled person.
The classification is intended to promote communication. It may be used, for example, as the basis for information
systems on and about technical aids for disabled persons, for the development of stock control system or for the
production of supply statistics.
The following items are specifically excluded from this International Standard:
— items used for the installation of technical aids;
— compiled devices (components included in the classification) are not incorporated into the
classification automatically;
— medicines;
— technical aids and instruments, exclusively used by medical practitioners;
— financial support;
— nontechnical solutions, such as personal assistance, guide dogs, monkeys, lip-reading etc., and
internal devices (implants).
Technical aids for problem transport and availability in buildings are not included unless they may also be used in
private houses or in private transport.
NOTE —  Proposals for changes or additions to this International Standard, in respect of both existing and proposed new
classes, which take into account the rules given for classification may be submitted to ISO/TC 173, SC 2, with an
accompanying explanation for the proposal.
2  Normative references
The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this
International Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to

3  Definitions
For the purposes of this International Standard, the terminology of ISO 1087 applies. Where relevant product
standards exist their terminology is used in this International Standard (see annex A). The following definitions also
apply.
3.1
impairment
any loss or abnormality of psychological, physiological, or anatomical
2)
structure or function.
3.2
disability
any restriction or lack (resulting from an impairment) of ability to perform an
2)
activity in the manner or within the range considered normal for a human being.
3.3
handicap
disadvantage for a given individual, resulting from an impairment or a
disability, that limits or prevents the fulfilment of a role that is normal (depending on age, sex, and social and cultural
2)
factors) for that individual.
3.4
disabled person
person with one or more impairments, one or more disabilities, one or more handicaps or a combination of
impairment, disability and/or handicap
3.5
technical aid
 any product, instrument, equipment or technical system used by a disabled person,
especially produced or generally available, preventing, compensating, relieving or neutralizing the impairment, dis-
ability or handicap
3.6
classification
system of concepts or a structured set of concepts established according to the relations between them, each
concept being determined by a systematic code and its position in the system of concepts
3.7
class
collection of similar articles, divided according to definite and/or chosen rules
4  Principle
The classification is based on a functional division with products being classified according to their principal
function.

In particular, it should be noted that technical aids which are used exclusively for training should be included in class
03. An aid which has a function other than training but which may also be used for training should be included in the
class covering its principal function.
In this classification, software is treated in the same manner as hardware and is classified as such in the division
according 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 respectively.
Each class, subclass, or division consists of a code and a name and, if necessary, a definition or explanatory text
and/or a reference to other parts of the classification.
References are used for two purposes:
— to separate classes, subclasses or divisions from one another, e.g. general versus specific;
— for information, e.g. references between related products.
In general, references are made to the lowest possible level.
5.2  Codes
5.2.1 The code consists of three groups of two digits each.
The first and second digits indicate the class, the third and fourth digits the subclass, and the fifth and sixth digits
the division.
For practical purposes, classes alone are indicated by two digits only (deleting two groups of zeros) and subclasses
alone are indicated by two groups of two digits (deleting one group 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 using intervals of three in order to allow the introduction of
amendments and extensions in subsequent revisions of this International Standard without changing the
classification fundamentally.
5.2.3 Classes 00, 01, 02 and 90 to 99 and the associated subclasses and divisions are reserved for national
applications.
In addition further levels may be added to any part of the classification to serve national or local purposes.
A fixed position (89) is reserved at all levels for technical aids which are categorized as "other".

ISO 9999:1998(E) ISO
NOTE — A conversion table detailing the coding changes from the first edition of the classification to this revision is available.
This table, which is not part of this International Standard, may be obtained from the ISO/TC 173/SC 2 Secretariat. In the
present revision, codes which were originally used to classify items which have been removed from the classification are not
used to classify new items which have been added to the classification.
5.3  Terms
5.3.1 As far as possible the terminology in general use has been adopted. Where relevant product standards exist,
their terminology is used in this International Standard (see annex A, and in particular reference [8]).
5.3.2 All terms are in the plural form.
5.3.3 Terms at class level are generally connected to a special function. In classes, terms connected to a special
product are only used if the term is broadly applied or if the function for the product is incorporated in the name.
5.3.4 Depending on the type of the technical aid, terms at subclass or division level are related to a special function
(eg aids for weighing and measuring) or indicate a special product (eg scissors).
5.3.5 In order to prevent repetition, the term at division level is considered to be interconnected with the term of the
subclass.
5.3.6 Only in cases where a technical aid is used by a specific group of disabled persons shall the term used refer
to that group of disabled persons.
5.4  Some 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. In the
classification no term such as "general" is used, since it is considered to be included in the heading of the class or
the subclass (see also 5.2.3 concerning the use of the term "other").
5.4.2 Products appear only at the division level.
5.4.3 In general, parts of aids, accessories to aids, individually adapted aids and individual adaptations in homes
and other premises are included with the aid they are associated with.
5.4.4 Parts, accessories and adaptations are separately classified if they are fitted to a group of aids. In these
cases they are classified as close as possible to the group of technical aids with which they are associated.
5.4.5 The classification is organized in such a manner that all technical aids can be classified without being tested
or measured.
5.4.6 A classification of hypothetical technical aids is avoided.
6  Index
An alphabetical index of terms is provided to facilitate access to the classification.
Synonyms may be incorporated in the index and refer to the preferred term in the classification.
