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 fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 9999:2002) which has been technically revised.

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 (2002) 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.
In this fourth edition of ISO 9999, the title has been changed from “Technical aids for persons with
disabilities — Classification and terminology” to “Assistive products for persons with disability — Classification
and terminology”. Hence “Technical aids” are referred to as “Assistive products”.
The former class 21 “Aids for communication, information and signalling” has been revised and replaced by a
new class 22 “Assistive products for communication and information”.
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 will be 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.
A separate document is 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. For addresses of national member bodies see: http://www.iso.org.
NOTE 1 Some of the assistive products for persons with disability can be classified as medical devices, which have to
fulfil the requirements of the Council Directive 93/42 EEC of June 1993. The general requirements for assistive products
for persons with disability are given in EN 12182:1999.
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.
NOTE 3 Generally available devices are included when they serve as assistive products for persons with disability.
