Each member body interested in a subject for which atechnicalcommitteehasbeenestablishedhastherighttoberepresented 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. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO 7176-7 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 173, Technical systems and aids for disabled or handicapped persons, Subcommittee 1, Wheelchairs. IsO 7176 consists of the following parts, under the general title Wheelchairs: Part 1: Determination of static stability Part 2: Determination of dynamic stability of electric wheelchairs Part 3: Determination of the efficiency of brakes Part 4: Energy consumption of electric wheelchairs and scooters for determination of theoretical distance range Part 5: Determination of overall dimensions, mass and turning space Part 6: Determination of maximum speed, acceleration and retardation of electric wheelchairs Part 7: Measurement of seating and wheel dimensions Part 8: Requirements and test methods for static, impact and fatigue strengths Part 9: Climatic tests forelectric wheelchairs Part 10: Determination of obstacle-climbing ability of electric wheelchairs Part 11: Test dummies ii onal Organization for Standardizatior
