In Accordance with EN12183: 2009 all there listed parts (seat and
back upholstery, arm pad, side panel...) are fire resistant as per
EN1021-2 .
WARNING!
The Dynamic safe slope is dependent on the chair configuration,
the users abilities and the style of riding. As the users abilities and
style of riding cannot be pre-determined then the max safe slope
cannot be determined. Therefore this must be determined by the
user with the
assistance of an attendant to prevent tipping. It is strongly
recommended that inexperienced users have anti-tips fitted.
The wheelchair conforms to the following standards:
a) Requirements and test methods for static, impact and fatigue
strengths (ISO 7176-8)
b) Requirements for resistance to ignition in accordance with ISO
