ISO 7176-11 Wheelchairs, Part 11: Standard Test Method for Experiment Mannequins

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ISO 7176-11 standard. This part of ISO 7176 specifies requirements for test dummies of any mass greater than or equal to 25 kg to be used in the evaluation of wheelchairs.

This part of ISO 7176 provides formulas that specify the position of the total center of mass of the test dummies, the masses of the segments that make up the test dummies, and the positions of the pivots connecting the segments. It also specifies the characteristics of the loading pads that support the segments.

The position indicated for the center of mass is approximately the same as that of a person of corresponding mass when sitting in a wheelchair, as well as for weights up to 100 kg, while standing in a standing wheelchair.

This part of ISO 7176 does not attempt to represent the mass distribution of a person with limb atrophy or amputation. This part of ISO 7176 aims to enable the construction of test dummies that will produce comparable results for stability, performance and durability testing of manual wheelchairs and electrically powered wheelchairs, including scooters.
