upholstery, arm pad, side panel...) are fire resistant as per EN1021-2 .
The Dynamic safe slope is dependant on the chair configuration, the
users abilities and the style of riding. As the users abilities and style of
riding cannot be predetermined then the max safe slope cannot be
determined. Therefore this must be determined by the user with the
assistance of an attendant to prevent tipping. It is strongly
recommended that inexperienced users have Ant-tips fitted.
The wheelchair conforms to the following standards:
a) Requirements and test methods for static, impact and fatigue
strengths (ISO 7176-8)
b) Requirements for resistance to ignition in accordance with ISO
7176-16 (EN 1021-1)
Unless otherwise advised, the torque for M6 screws is 7 Nm.
