Sl.No. Synosis Points
1 This part of ISO 7176 specifies requirements and test methods for wheelchairs and their battery chargers to minimize the risks associated with their exposure to reasonably foreseeable electromagnetic interference and electrostatic discharge and with their production of electromagnetic fields that could impair the operation of other devices or equipment in their usual environment.
2 The upper frequency limit and test level for radiated r.f. immunity requirements are selected according to the environment in which the wheelchair is used and the related risk. Hence the requirements for a wheelchair while it is driving are consistent with its use as a medical device, but the requirements for charging are consistent with use of the wheelchair and charger as domestic electrical equipment.
