IS 18651 : Part 10 : 2024/ISO 7176-10 : 2008 Wheelchairs - Part 10 Determination of Obstacle-Climbing Ability of Electrically Powered Wheelchairs

NATIONAL FOREWORD

The Indian Standard (Part 10) which is identical to ISO 7176-10 : 2008 'Wheelchairs — Part 10: Determination of obstacle-climbing ability of electrically powered wheelchairs' issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Artificial Limbs, Rehabilitation Appliances and Equipment for the Person with Disability Sectional Committee and approval of the Medical Equipment and Hospital Planning Division Council.

The text of the ISO standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are however not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appears referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard'; and

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standard, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
