Abstract

ISO 9999:2007 establishes a classification of assistive products especially produced, or generally available, for persons with disability.

Assistive products used by a person with disability, but which require the assistance of another person for their operation, are included in the classification.

The following items are specifically excluded from ISO 9999:2007:

• items used for the installation of assistive products;
• solutions obtained by combinations of assistive products which are individually classified in this International Standard;
• medicines;
• assistive products and instruments used exclusively by healthcare professionals;
• non-technical solutions, such as personal assistance, guide-dogs or lip-reading;
• implanted devices;
• financial support.
