ISO/TC 173/SC 1/WG 6 - Wheelchair restraint systems

This part of ISO 10542 specifies design and performance requirements and associated test methods for wheelchair tiedown and occupant-restraint systems (WTORS), as well as requirements for product marking and labelling and manufacturers' instructions and warnings to installers and consumers. It is applicable to all WTORS that use belt-type occupant restraints that are intended for occupied wheelchairs used as forward-facing seats by passengers and drivers of motor vehicles. This part of ISO 10542 is applicable to WTORS intended for use with all types of manual and powered wheelchairs, including three- and four-wheeled scooters, used by children and adults with a body mass equal to or greater than 22 kg. It is applicable also to WTORS designed for limited use with a particular make or model of wheelchair. This part of ISO 10542 is applicable primarily to complete WTORS, but portions can also be applied to components and subassemblies sold separately and for replacement parts.

ISO 7176-19:2008 applies to all manual and powered wheelchairs, including scooters, which, in addition to their primary function as wheeled mobility devices, are also likely to be used as forward-facing seats in motor vehicles by children and adults with a body mass equal to or greater than 22 kg. ISO 7176-19:2008 specifies wheelchair design requirements, performance requirements and associated test methods, and requirements for wheelchair labelling, presale literature, user instructions and user warnings. It applies to complete wheelchairs, including a base frame and seating system, as well as to wheelchairs equipped with add-on adaptive components designed to facilitate compliance with one or more of the requirements.

ISO 10542-3:2005 specifies design and performance requirements and recommendations, instructions and warnings for both installers and users, and product marking and labelling, for wheelchair tiedown and occupant-restraint systems (WTORS) that use a docking-type wheelchair tiedown. It specifies the universal docking interface geometry (UDIG) and a method of testing wheelchair movement. It is applicable to docking-type wheelchair tiedown devices intended for securing all types of manual and powered forward-facing wheelchairs, including scooters with three or more wheels, used by adult passengers and drivers of motor vehicles. Although ISO 10542-3 has been conceived primarily for use with complete WTORS, certain of its aspects can also be applied to components and subassemblies sold separately and for replacement parts.

ISO 10542-4:2004 specifies test methods and requirements for design and performance, instructions to installers and users, and product marking and labelling of wheelchair tiedown and occupant-restraint systems (WTORS). It is applicable only to WTORS that use clamp-type tiedown to secure wheelchairs when used as a forward-facing seat by an adult passenger or driver of a motor vehicle. ISO 10542-4:2004 is applicable primarily to complete WTORS, but a portion of ISO 10542-4:2004 can also be applied to components and sub-assemblies sold separately and for replacement parts. ISO 10542-4:2004 is applicable to WTORS intended for use with all types of manual and powered wheelchairs, including scooters with three or more wheels.

ISO 10542-5:2004 specifies test methods as well as requirements for design and performance, for instructions and warnings to installers and users, and for product marking and labelling of wheelchair tiedown and occupant restraint systems (WTORS). It applies only to WTORS that are intended to be used with particular makes and models of wheelchairs when used as a forward-facing seat by a passenger or a driver of a motor vehicle. ISO 10542-5:2004 applies to WTORS intended for use with manual or powered wheelchairs, including scooters with three or more wheels, intended for use by children or adults of mass equal to or greater than 22 kg. ISO 10542-5:2004 applies primarily to complete WTORS, but parts of this International Standard can also be applied to components and sub-assemblies sold separately and for replacement parts.
