19、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 has t
20、he 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. Interna
21、tional 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 bodies for voting. Publicatio
22、n 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 any or all such patent rights
23、. ISO 11334-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 173, Assistive products for persons with disability. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 11334-1:1994), which has been technically revised. ISO 11334 consists of the following parts, under the general title Assistiv
24、e products for walking manipulated by one arm Requirements and test methods: Part 1: Elbow crutches Part 4: Walking sticks with three or more legs EN ISO 11334-1:20071Assistive products for walking manipulated by one arm Requirements and test methods Part 1: Elbow crutches 1 Scope This part of ISO 1
25、1334 specifies requirements and test methods for elbow crutches fully equipped with handgrip and tip. The methods specify testing of separation, static load capacity, fatigue and resistance to low temperature embrittlement. This part of ISO 11334 also gives the requirements relating to safety, ergon
26、omics, performance, and information to be supplied by the manufacturer, including marking and labelling. The requirements and tests are based on every-day usage of elbow crutches when performing the through-swing gait, for a maximum user mass as specified by the manufacturer. This part of ISO 11334
27、is applicable to elbow crutches specified for a user mass of not less than 35 kg. Requirements and test methods for friction of rubber tips against the walking surface are dealt with separately. NOTE The recommendations given in Annex A supplement the requirements given in this part of ISO 11334. 2

This is ve
43、rified by measurement, as indicated in 5.3.2 and Figure 3. For the arm not to be trapped in accidentally, the cuff shall have an opening in the front side. When tested in accordance with 5.4, it shall be possible to increase this opening to 75 mm by applying a pulling force of maximum 120 N. The per
44、manent deformation of the cuff opening shall not be more than 5 mm. The cuff shall be securely fixed when tested in accordance with 5.5. 4.2 Handgrip The handgrip may be adjustable, but shall be securely fixed when tested in accordance with 5.5. The handgrip width shall be not less than 25 mm and no
45、t more than 50 mm. This requirement does not apply to anatomic handgrips. This is verified by measurement, as indicated in 5.3.2 and Figure 2, item 5. 4.3 Leg section and tip The leg section shall end in a tip of a design that will prevent the leg section from piercing through the tip when tested in
46、 accordance with 5.6 and 5.7. This is verified by inspection. The tip shall be replaceable, but shall be secure when fitted. This is verified by inspection. The part of the tip that is in contact with the walking surface shall have a minimum diameter of 35 mm. This is verified by measurement, as ind
47、icated in 5.3.2. 4.4 Adjusting devices The means of height adjustment shall not become loose. This is verified by inspection after the crutch has been subjected to the tests described in 5.6 and 5.7. Each of the height adjustments shall be clearly marked with its maximum allowable elongation. This i
48、s verified by measurement, as indicated in 5.3.2. 4.5 Materials If structural load carrying components moulded from recycled plastic materials are included, the components shall be of a strength equivalent to virgin materials throughout the life of the crutch.
