  18. Standards • Standards

  19. Standards • Australian Standards have been developed to ensure equipment meets recognised safety and reliability criteria. • They are a basic standard and relate to testing methods and design. • The Independent Living Centre (ILC) is represented nationally on the Australian Standards Committee. • Helpful Contacts: • Customer Information Service for Standards (Sydney)-Freecall 1800 035 822 • Standards Australia www.standards.com.au • Standards Australia Information Line (Melb) : (03) 9693 3555 • Customer Information Service (Sydney)-Freecall 1800 035 822

  20. Standards • To achieve this status, equipment must pass a series of tests in which it is put under difficult conditions that are designed to be similar to those that the child or adult may face when the equipment is used. • For example, wheelchairs are tested for safety at different speeds, conditions and surfaces

  21. International Standards • ISO (International Organization for Standardization) • Where there is not an Australian Standard, international standards are often harmonised. • This means they are reviewed by the Australian working parties to ensure they work for our environment.
