Crash Tested Wheelchairs

This section shows the ‘crash tested’ wheelchairs. This means they can be used in Community Transport vehicles or adapted vehicles for transporting wheelchair users without them being removed from the wheelchair itself. The wheelchair will need to be secured to the vehicle and if needed a crash test report or certificate can be provided. Please feel free to call if you need any more information.

This section includes only wheelchairs that have successfully passed the UK Crash Test as stipulated by ISO 7176-19:2008. Other countries use different accreditations for their crash tested wheelchair criteria. Below is the abstract for the standard: "ISO 7176-19:2008 applies to all manual and powered wheelchairs, including scooters, which, in addition to their primary function as wheeled mobility devices, are also likely to be used as forward-facing seats in motor vehicles by children and adults with a body mass equal to or greater than 22 kg. ISO 7176-19:2008 specifies wheelchair design requirements, performance requirements and associated test methods, and requirements for wheelchair labelling, presale literature, user instructions and user warnings. It applies to complete wheelchairs, including a base frame and seating system, as well as to wheelchairs equipped with add-on adaptive components designed to facilitate compliance with one or more of the requirements." If you are a wheelchair user and transfer manually to a car for transportation, it may be worth looking in to a crash tested wheelchair which allows you to remain in your chair during transportation. These wheelchairs are designed to be retained by straps or docking stations within the vehicle to reduce the risk of injury should the vehicle be involved in a crash.
