External limb prostheses and external orthoses - Requirements and test methods (ISO 22523:2006)

ISO 22523:2006 specifies requirements and test methods for external limb prostheses and external orthoses, including the following classifications from ISO 9999:
06 03 - 06 15 Orthoses06 18 - 06 27 Limb prostheses
It covers strength, materials, restrictions on use, risk and the provision of information associated with the normal conditions of use of both components and assemblies of components.
This International Standard does not cover special seating as it is not classified as an orthosis in ISO 9999 and it is not normally body worn.

Externe Gliedmaßenprothesen und externe Orthesen - Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren (ISO 22523:2006)

Diese Internationale Norm legt Anforderungen an und Prüfverfahren für externe Gliedmaßenprothesen und externe Orthesen fest, einschließlich der folgenden Klassifikationen nach EN ISO 9999:
06 03   06 15 Orthesen
06 18   06 27 Gliedmaßenprothesen
Diese Europäische Norm befasst sich mit Festigkeit, Werkstoffen, Einschränkungen im Gebrauch, Risiken und der Bereitstellung von Informationen über den normalen Gebrauch von Einzelbauteilen und Baugruppen.
Diese Internationale Norm befasst sich nicht mit speziellen Sitzschalen, da diese nach ISO 9999 nicht als Orthese klassifiziert sind und normalerweise nicht am Körper getragen werden.
ANMERKUNG 1   Es ist beabsichtigt, zukünftig orthopädisches Schuhwerk (Klassifikation 06 33) einzubeziehen.
ANMERKUNG 2   Die Anwendung von Qualitätssicherungssystemen, wie in ISO 13485 und ISO 13488 beschrieben oder angeführt, kann geeignet sein.

Prothèses de membre externes et orthèses externes - Exigences et méthodes d'essai (ISO 22523:2006)

L'ISO 22523:2006 spécifie les exigences et les méthodes d'essai applicables aux prothèses de membre externes et orthèses externes, y compris les classifications suivantes de l'ISO 9999:
06 03 - 06 15 Orthèses06 18 - 06 27 Prothèses de membre
Elle couvre la résistance, les matériaux utilisés, les restrictions d'utilisation, les risques et les informations associés aux conditions normales d'utilisation des composants et des ensembles de composants.
La présente Norme internationale ne traite pas des «corsets-sièges» car ils ne sont pas classés comme orthèses dans l'ISO 9999 et ne sont pas normalement portés sur le corps.
