Crash test
Etac’s wheelchairs are tested in accordance with ISO 7176-19 and ISO 10542. These ISO standards specify require-
ments for the design of the wheelchair’s restraint points, how the wheelchair and the user are secured in the vehicle, and
also describe how tests should be carried out and how the test results should be interpreted. Etac’s wheelchairs are crash
tested at the Technical Research Institute of Sweden. The tests were carried out with normal settings on the wheel-
chairs (see manual for the respective wheelchair) and with an UNWIN_WWR/ATF/K/R restraining device and an
UNWIN_WWR/HD/ATF/K/R 3-point belt.
The cross-folded wheelchairs Cross, Twin and Transit were supplemented with securing points.
