This part of ISO 10542 specifies design and performance requirements and associated test methods for
wheelchair tiedown and occupant-restraint systems (WTORS), as well as requirements for product marking
and labelling and manufacturers’ instructions and warnings to installers and consumers. It is applicable to all
WTORS that use belt-type occupant restraints that are intended for occupied wheelchairs used as forwardfacing
seats by passengers and drivers of motor vehicles.
This part of ISO 10542 is applicable to WTORS intended for use with all types of manual and powered
wheelchairs, including three- and four-wheeled scooters, used by children and adults with a body mass equal
to or greater than 22 kg. It is applicable also to WTORS designed for limited use with a particular make or
model of wheelchair.
This part of ISO 10542 is applicable primarily to complete WTORS, but portions can also be applied to
components and subassemblies sold separately and for replacement parts.
