This Standard covers the holding parts having a holding function attained by an elastic deformation; however, does not cover the following holding parts.

a) Stick holder attached to a stick itself, intended for the easy rest of stick

b) Stick holder having a function to install a stick on a rollator or wheelchair, intended for the assist of movement of older persons and persons with disabilities

NOTE This Standard covers the sticks having the diameter of about 16 mm to 25 mm at the thickest part, and assumes that the main purpose of sticks is the assist of walk.

NOTE 1 The International Standard corresponding to this Standard and the symbol of degree of correspondence are as follows.

ISO 11334-1:2007 Assistive products for walking manipulated by one arm-Requirements and test methods-Part 1: Elbow crutches (MOD)

In addition, symbols which denote the degree of correspondence in the contents between the relevant International Standard and JIS are IDT (identical), MOD (modified), and NEQ (not equivalent) according to ISO/lEC Guide 21-1.

NOTE 2 Lofstrand crutches are included in elbow crutches.

In addition, those with the distance between axles of below 250 mm are excluded.

Moreover, the wheel 1)locked if weight is applied is not regarded as a wheel.

Note 1) The wheel locked if weight is applied means the following structure, When the force of 50 N is loaded on a handle, legs other than a wheel are grounded, and the load is supported by not a wheel but a leg, or a wheel is fixed securely.

NOTE: The International Standards corresponding to this Standard and the symbol of degree of correspondence are as follows.

ISO 11199-2:2005 walking aids manipulated by both arms-Requirements and test methods-Part 2: Rollators

ISO 11199-3:2005 walking aids manipulated by both arms-Requirements and test methods-Part 3: walking tables (Overall evaluation: MOD)

In addition, symbols which denote the degree of correspondence in the contents between the relevant International Standards and JIS are IDT (identical), MOD (modified), and NEQ (not equivalent) according to ISO/lEC Guide 21-1.

However, this Standard excludes the assistive products for standing and the assistive chairs for walking.

In addition, the wheel 1) that is locked if a weight is applied is not regarded as a wheel.

Note 1) The wheel that is locked if a weight is applied has the following structure.

When the force of 50 N is loaded on a handle, legs other than wheels touch the ground.

As a result, the load is supported by legs, not by wheels.

Alternatively wheels are fixed securely [see 1) of b) in figure 4].

NOTE: The International Standard corresponding to this Standard and the symbol of degree of correspondence are as follows.

ISO 11199-1:1999 Walking aids manipulated by both arms—Requirements and test methods—Part 1: Walking frames (MOD)

In addition, symbols which denote the degree of correspondence in the contents between the relevant International Standard and JIS are IDT (identical), MOD (modified), and NEQ (not equivalent) according to ISO/IEC Guide 21-1.
