METHOD OF TESTIN

G

To ensure that the CARE Collection is capable of withstanding heavy loads and conditions of every

day use, the products have been tested in accordance to the requirements of the European standar

d

for technical aids for disabled, BS/EN 12182:2012. We recommend all care products are installed on

a

solid wall. Reinforcement should always be used if the wall is not stable

.

All tests are carried out on products mounted on a solid, concrete wall, thus we cannot guarantee the

same performance and durability if this is not observed. For safety reasons, we recommend to chec

k

all bolt connections to ensure that no parts are loose and that all attachments to the wall are intact

.

SEAT AND ARM SUPPORT

Implementing a safety factor of 1.5 the sample was subjected to a static proof load test with 150 kg

,

followed by a static overload test with 225 kg. The sample withstood the static proof load and the static

overload test without fracture or collapse.

GRAB RAIL

S

Implementing a safety factor of 1.5 the sample was subjected to a static load; vertical load 3.43 kN

(350 kg) followed by a horizontal load of 5.89 kN (600 kg). The sample withstood both the vertical an

d

horizontal load without fracture or collapse.
