The responsible German body involved in its preparation was the Normenausschuss Rettungsdienst und Krankenhaus
6、(Rescue Services and Hospital Standards Committee), Working Committee NA 053-01-06 AA Rollsthle. Amendments This standard differs from DIN EN 12184:2009-12 as follows: a) the upper limit for maximum occupant mass covered by the scope has been extended to 300 kg; b) the standard deals more clearly wi
7、th wheelchairs, which come partially into its scope; c) the list of normative references has been brought up to date, most notably including the latest editions of ISO 7176-11, ISO 7176-19 and ISO 7176-21; d) wheelchairs are tested at the specified maximum user mass, except for distance range (see 8
8、.1.9); e) the document has been extensively restructured to group related requirements and test methods together; f) human test occupants shall not be used for dynamic stability testing; g) the lateral dynamic stability test is not conducted for wheelchairs with manual steering; h) some sections of
9、text in ISO 7176-19:2008 have been replaced, and the reference to ISO 10542-5 has been removed; i) the requirements for handgrip width have been revised; j) static loading force limits for occupant mass above 100 kg have been provided in Table 2; k) the term “maximum safe slope” is no longer used an
10、d has been replaced with “rated slope”; l) the criteria for footrest gaps have been improved; m) either ISO 8191-2 or EN 1021-2 may be used for assessment of ignitability. ISO 8191-1 and EN 1021-1 are no longer used; DIN EN 12184:2014-06 3 n) power and control systems may optionally meet the require
11、ments for resistance to ignition in this document or those in ISO 7176-14; o) stopping distance limits for slopes have been removed; p) a separate test rig can be used for the parking brake fatigue test; q) the occupant reach space has been extended beneath the front part of the seat; r) requirement
12、s for brakes and freewheel devices have been clarified; s) recommendations for protection of parking brakes and freewheel devices against accidental release have been changed to requirements; t) requirements which duplicate those in ISO 7176-14 have been removed; u) requirements for charging connect
13、or location have been modified; v) requirements for emergency stop devices and lighting have been added; w) requirements for electronic programmable systems have been added; x) recommended dummy designs have been removed; y) guidance has been added concerning the PRM-TSI (see Annex C); z) Annexes co
14、ncerning recommended seating design and manoeuvring forces have been removed; aa) Annex E concerning recommendations for safety in freewheel mode has been added; bb) Annex F has been added to support dynamic stability testing of fast wheelchairs on steep slopes; cc) Annex ZA (informative) has been u
