EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN ISO 7176-10 testing. This part of EN ISO 7176 specifies test methods for determining the ability of electrically powered wheelchairs to climb and descend obstacles, including scooters designed to carry a person whose maximum rated speed does not exceed 15 km/h.
The power wheelchair's ability to climb and descend obstacles can be an important factor in choosing the most suitable wheelchair for a person, both in terms of access and safety. Access can be affected by the wheelchair's ability to safely overcome obstacles such as door sills, changes in height of ride surfaces, and curbs.
The heights of the obstacles that the wheelchair can climb may differ from the heights of the obstacles that the wheelchair can descend. However, it is important for wheelchair operators and prescribers to know the height of an obstacle at which the wheelchair can both ascend and descend. The performance of the wheelchair in climbing and descending obstacles may also depend on the technique used to operate the wheelchair. Performance may also be affected by the use of alternative operating modes such as all-wheel drive.
This part of EN ISO 7176 specifies a consistent method for determining the ability of powered wheelchairs to climb and descend obstacles to provide comparable results.
A series of tests are performed to determine the ability of electrically powered wheelchairs to overcome obstacles such as sidewalks and steps.
