<p>ISO 7176-5:2007 specifies methods for the determination of wheelchair dimensions and mass.</p>
<p>This includes specific methods for the determination of outside dimensions when the wheelchair is occupied by a reference occupant and the required manoeuvring space needed for wheelchair manoeuvres commonly carried out in daily life.</p>
<p>ISO 7176-5:2007 specifies requirements for the disclosure of the dimensions and masses and contains five informative annexes.</p>
<p>Annex A specifies methods for the determination of technical dimensions that can be important to the performance of the wheelchair.</p>
<p>Annex B provides detailed information about pivot width and reversing width.</p>
<p>Annex C provides detailed information about the turning diameter.</p>
<p>Annex D provides details on determining the wheelchair longitudinal axis and wheelchair centre-point.</p>
<p>Annex E provides technical guidelines and interpretation for many of the measurements specified to facilitate improved understanding, design and construction of wheelchairs.</p>
<p>ISO 7176-5:2007 is applicable to manual wheelchairs and electrically powered wheelchairs (including scooters).</p>
