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

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 Slide 21 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. Slide 22 22 ILCA Website Thank you for
