Testing
Etac wheelchairs are tested in accordance with ISO 7176-19 and 10542. These ISO standards
specify requirements for the design of the wheelchair restraint points and describe how the wheelchair
and user are secured in the vehicle, as well as describing how testing should be carried out and how
the test results should be interpreted. Etac wheelchairs are crash-tested by the Swedish
National Testing and Research Institute.
The tests were carried out with the wheelchairs in their standard configurations (see manual for
respective wheelchair) together with a restraining device, UNWIN_WWR/ATF/K/R, and a
three-point seat belt, UNWIN_WWR/HD/ATF/K/R.
The cross-folding wheelchairs, Cross, Twin and Transit, were fitted with securement points.
The following wheelchairs passed the tests in accordance with ISO 7176:19 and ISO 10542: Cross
(Ser.No. 18C), Twin (Ser.No. 24A), Transit (Ser.No. 26B)

Twin is delivered with wheels ready mounted.
Lifetime: The wheelchair meets fully the demands and specifications of: prEN 12183.
Etac calculates that this test is equal to 5-6 years normal use of the wheelchair.
This means that we judge the normal lifetime of a manual wheelchair to be five years of normal use
by one and the same user. The lifetime of the wheelchair is dependant above all on the type of
handicap that the user has, and on the proper degree of maintenance. This means that different users
may experience both a shorter and longer wheelchair-lifetime then the above-mentioned.
