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 failure. 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 indoor and/or outdoor mobility for one disabled person whose
mass lies in the range specified in ISO 7176-11.
