CAN/CSA-Z323.4.6-M89 (R1998)
Wheelchairs - Determination of Maximum Speed, Acceleration and Retardation of Electric Wheelchairs (Adopted ISO 7176-6:1988)
détails du produit
Â
1.1
The purpose of this Standard is to provide guidance to assist clinicians and wheelchair users in interpreting the increased information that will appear in manufacturers' literature as a result of testing in compliance with this Standard.
Â
Although many of the newer wheelchair control systems allow adjustments to this feature, it is valuable to have information by which the maximum values can be compared between wheelchairs.
Â
1.2
Maximum speeds, both forward and reverse, are determined by entering the test course at full speed when the wheelchair is no longer accelerating.
Â
The time to travel between two known marks is carefully measured. Repeated runs in both directions permit calculations of the average maximum speed.
Â
The results of these tests are recorded in accordance with the test report requirements.
Â
1.3
This Standard specifies test methods for determining the maximum speed, acceleration, and retardation of electric wheelchairs.
Â
1.4
In this Standard, shall indicates a mandatory requirement; should indicates a recommendation, ie, that which is advised but not mandatory.
Â
Notes accompanying clauses do not include mandatory or alternative requirements. The purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material that is not properly a part of the Standard. Notes to figures and tables are considered to be part of the figure or table and are written as mandatory requirements.
