Crash test
Etac’s wheelchairs are tested in accordance with ISO 7176-19 and 10542. These ISO standards specify requirements
for the design of the wheelchair’s restraint points, how the wheelchair and the user are secured in the vehicle and
describe how testing should be carried out and how the test results are to be interpreted. Etac’s wheelchairs are crash
tested at the Technical Research Institute of Sweden. The test was carried out with normal settings on the wheelchairs
(see manual for the respective chair) 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.
