This European Standard does not apply in total to:
- wheelchairs intended for special purposes, such as sports, showering or toileting;
- custom-made wheelchairs;
- stand-up wheelchairs; and
- add-on power kits for the propulsion of manual wheelchairs.
NOTE 1 The application of this standard is limited to wheelchairs with a maximum occupant mass of 100 kg because the maximum mass of dummy specified in ISO 7176-11:1992 is 100 kg.
