Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 9999 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 173, Assistive products for persons with disability,
Subcommittee SC 2, Classification and terminology.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition (ISO 9999:2007), which has been technically revised.
It includes ISO 9999:2007/Corr.1:2007.

ISO 9999:2011(E)
Introduction
Assistive products (including software) are classified according to their function. The classification consists of
three hierarchical levels and the codes each consist of three pairs of digits. Like other classifications, for each
level, codes, titles, explanatory notes, inclusions, exclusions and cross-references are given. Besides the
explanatory text and the classification itself, a table of conversion between the previous (2007) edition and this
edition of this International Standard and an alphabetical index are provided in order to facilitate the use of
and to improve the accessibility of the classification.
This edition has about 980 titles of which about 90 are new and about 500 are changed, including minor
editorial and grammatical revisions. The major change in this edition is the addition of class 28, “Assistive
Products for Employment and Vocational Training.” The new class includes assistive products that are mainly
used during work and vocational training. Class 28 includes several new categories in addition to categories
that were formerly in classes 05, 24 and 27.
All assistive products in this classification are primarily intended for use outside of health care settings;
however, some of the products can be used in facilities such as rehabilitation centres to teach clients how to
use these products. It should be noted that the titles of some subclasses and divisions in class 28 refer to the
“workplace.” This term does not refer to a specific setting or geographical location; instead, it refers to any
setting in which employment-related activities or vocational training are performed.
The definition of “assistive product” used by this International Standard has been revised to align it with the
terminology of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF).
Relation to the WHO Family of International Classifications
In 2003, ISO 9999 was accepted as a related member of the WHO Family of International Classifications
(WHO-FIC). The WHO-FIC is comprised of high-quality classifications for relevant sectors of the health
system. With this inclusion, the use of this International Standard was stimulated.
This International Standard makes use of the terminology of the International Classification of Functioning,
Disability and Health (ICF, WHO, 2001). ICF is a classification of health and health-related domains. These
domains are classified from body, individual and societal perspectives by means of two lists: a list of body
functions and structure and a list of domains of activity and participation. Since an individual's functioning and
disability occurs in a context, ICF also includes a list of environmental factors. The ICF is one of the core
classifications of the WHO-FIC.
As of the date of publication of this edition of this International Standard, a separate document was under
development in order to show the relationship between this International Standard and ICF at the level of
codes. This document can be obtained on request from the secretariat of ISO/TC 173/SC 2.
Proposal for changes
Proposals for changes or additions to this International Standard, both in respect of existing and
proposed new classes/subclasses/divisions, which take into account the given rules for classification,
may be submitted to a national member body of ISO with an accompanying explanation for the
proposal. See http://www.iso.org for addresses of national member bodies.
NOTE 1 Some of the assistive products for persons with disability can be classified as medical devices.
NOTE 2 National member bodies are encouraged to improve the accessibility of the classification by the addition of
national language synonyms to the nationally implemented standard.
