This corrected version of ISO 7176-8:2014 incorporates the following correction: In 9.7.1, the last sentence of the third paragraph has been amended.vi ISO 2014 All rights reserved BS ISO 7176-8:2014 ISO 7176-8:2014(E) Introduction This part of ISO 7176 has been an important part of the stren
31、gth testing of wheelchairs since its publication in 1998. It contains test methods and sets minimum requirements for static, impact, and fatigue strength of both the overall wheelchair and individually stressed components. Several parts of this International Standard have been reviewed. In particula
32、r: the fatigue testing elements, including the speed and size of slat of the two-drum test machine, and the number of test cycles for both two drum and drop tests have been reviewed through empirical testing and confirmed; the failure criteria have been clarified, and permissible adjustments and rep
33、airs more clearly defined to minimize variation between laboratories; a more precisely defined setup procedure for the reference configuration of adjustable wheelchairs as given in ISO 7176-22; static, impact, and repeated load test procedures for Postural Support Devices (PSDs) have been revised an
34、d are contained in ISO 16840-3. It is anticipated that all parts of this International Standard will continue to be developed and future revisions may include the results of ongoing work in the following areas: consideration of whether the fatigue test requirements should be revised for wheelchairs
35、intended for use in less resourced settings; review of the test methods and apparatus to facilitate testing in less resourced settings; further development of the test dummies to improve the way in which they load the backs of test wheelchairs and, in particular, to improve their suitability for use
36、 with wheelchairs with low back supports. ISO 2014 All rights reserved vii BS ISO 7176-8:2014BS ISO 7176-8:2014 Wheelchairs Part 8: Requirements and test methods for static, impact and fatigue strengths 1 Scope This part of ISO 7176 specifies requirements for static, impact, and fatigue strength of
37、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 requirement
38、s 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)”
39、 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 c

45、ed in accordance with Clauses 8, 9, and 10, a single wheelchair shall meet all the following requirements at the conclusion of the tests. a) No component shall show evidence of visible cracks, be fractured, or have become detached, with the following exceptions. 1) Readjustment of postural supports
46、is allowed after each of the tests in Clauses 8 and 9. 2) Re-tightening, readjusting, or refitting of components that are identified in the operators manual as operator-adjustable components is allowed at 25 % intervals during each of the multi drum, drop, and manual brake fatigue testing procedures
47、 (Clause 10). Operator adjustable components, as identified in the operators manual, may not be adjusted using tools unless the tools are supplied with the wheelchair. If there are operator adjustable components, fatigue test equipment may be stopped at 25 % plus or minus 5 % intervals, to determine
48、 if re-tightening, readjusting, or refitting of operator-adjustable components is required. Re- tightening, readjusting, or refitting shall then be performed, following the procedures outlined in the operators manual. Restart the test equipment after re-tightening, readjusting, or refitting has been
49、 performed. 3) Re-tightening, readjusting, or refitting of any other component is not allowed. 4) During the fatigue testing (Clause 10), the following wear items, if they are identified in the operators manual, may be replaced no more than twice per item: tyres (including solid tyres), inner tubes, drive belts, castor wheel rubber. In the case of castor wheels that are a single integral part, replacement is only permitted because of wear or failure of the running sur
