15、 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 committe
16、e 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 electrotechni
17、cal 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 b
18、odies 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 a
19、ny or all such patent rights. ISO 7176-14 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 173, Assistive products for persons with disability, Subcommittee SC 1, Wheelchairs. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 7176-14:1997), all clauses of which have been technically revised.

25、r-operated stair-climbing devices Part 26: Vocabulary BS ISO 7176-14:2008viiIntroduction This part of ISO 7176 specifies some wheelchair tests that are conducted on an inclined test plane. The intention of these tests is not to evaluate the performance of a wheelchair at the maximum gradient on whic
26、h it is capable of operating. Instead, the objective is to reveal any changes in the wheelchairs behaviour that might occur under fault conditions, and these changes are more readily discovered when it is operated on a slope. For convenience, the inclined test plane has a fixed gradient, representat
27、ive of those on which the wheelchair might be used. The range of ambient temperatures under which testing is carried out is limited to allow comparison between the performance of a wheelchair in normal operation and performance when faults are introduced.

28、: Power and control systems for electrically powered wheelchairs and scooters Requirements and test methods WARNING This part of ISO 7176 calls for the use of procedures that may be injurious to health if adequate precautions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitability and does not absolv
29、e those carrying out or commissioning the tests from legal obligations relating to health and safety. For tests that could cause the wheelchair to exhibit dangerous behaviour, it is recommended that prior to carrying out those tests, the likely outcome is assessed to establish appropriate arrangemen
30、ts to minimize any risks. 1 Scope This part of ISO 7176 specifies requirements and associated test methods for the power and control systems of electrically powered wheelchairs and scooters. It sets safety and performance requirements that apply during normal use and some conditions of abuse and fai
31、lure. It also specifies methods of measurement of the forces necessary to operate controls and sets limits on the forces needed for some operations. This part of ISO 7176 is applicable to electrically powered wheelchairs and scooters with a maximum speed no greater than 15 km/h intended to provide i
32、ndoor and/or outdoor mobility for one disabled person whose mass lies in the range specified in ISO 7176-11. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
