Overview

SIST EN ISO 22675:2006/kprA1:2015 defines internationally recognized requirements and test methods for the structural testing of prosthetic ankle-foot devices and foot units. Developed in collaboration with global and European standardization bodies, this updated standard ensures a uniform benchmarking process for safety, performance, and durability of prosthetic foot components. The inclusion of higher test loading levels (P6, P7, and P8) addresses the need to accommodate users with increased body mass and activity levels, contributing to inclusivity and improved reliability in prosthetics.

Key Topics

• Ankle-Foot Device Testing: The standard details comprehensive procedures for testing prosthetic ankle-foot mechanisms and foot units, including both static and cyclic loading conditions.
• Test Loading Levels: New test loading levels (P6, P7, and P8) have been introduced to account for prosthesis users with body mass up to 175 kg, facilitating structural evaluation for a wider range of patient populations.
• Performance Requirements: Quantitative thresholds for proof and ultimate test forces, as well as cyclic fatigue testing, are established. This assures long-term durability under repeated stress, simulating real-world walking cycles.
• Normative Test Methods: The amendment updates tables, procedures, and references to integrate additional test loading levels, ensuring clarity and accuracy in test reporting and apparatus setup.
• Documentation and Reporting: The standard mandates detailed documentation of test parameters including applied test levels, angles of loading, and force values to guarantee transparency and repeatability in laboratory and industry settings.

Applications

Adherence to SIST EN ISO 22675:2006/kprA1:2015 benefits various stakeholders in the prosthetics sector:

• Manufacturers: By following standardized test methods, manufacturers of prosthetic ankle-foot devices and foot units validate product safety, performance, and regulatory compliance, enhancing market confidence.
• Testing Laboratories: Laboratories utilize these requirements to conduct uniform, repeatable, and internationally accepted mechanical tests, supporting product development, certification, and quality control.
• Clinicians & Orthotists: The standard's reliability supports clinicians in choosing prosthetic devices that meet rigorous safety criteria, particularly for users with higher activity levels or body masses.
• Regulatory Compliance: Alignment with European Directives and international standards simplifies regulatory approval processes and supports the free movement of medical devices across borders.

Related Standards

For a comprehensive approach to prosthetic device evaluation, SIST EN ISO 22675:2006/kprA1:2015 should be considered alongside:

• ISO 10328: The principal standard for structural testing of lower limb prosthetic components, referenced extensively in ISO 22675 procedures.
• EN ISO 22675: The earlier European implementation, which forms the foundation for this amendment.
• ISO/TC 168 & CEN/TC 293 Output: Documents from international and European technical committees on prosthetics, orthotics, and assistive devices, ensuring comprehensive coverage of device types and patient needs.
• Relevant EU Directives: For medical device regulation and essential health and safety requirements, particularly within the European Union.

Practical Value

Implementing the testing requirements outlined in SIST EN ISO 22675:2006/kprA1:2015 strengthens patient safety and confidence by verifying prosthesis integrity under demanding conditions-including for heavier or more active users. This standard supports consistent product development cycles, international harmonization, and technological innovation in the prosthetics industry, while promoting accessibility and extended device lifespans.

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.
Amendment 1 to ISO 22675:2006 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 168, Prosthetics and
orthotics and by Technical Committee CEN/TC 293, Assistive products for persons with diasbility in
collaboration.

Page 8, 7.2.3
Replace 7.2.3 with the following text:
Test loading levels: P3, P4, P5, P6, P7 and P8
NOTE 1 Field experience has shown that there is a need for lower limb prostheses which sustain loads above the level
covered by test loading level P5. In order to allow the structural testing of such prostheses on a uniform basis, test loading
levels P6, P7 and P8 have been developed for the principal structural tests and the separate structural tests on ankle-foot
devices and foot units (see Annex C).
NOTE 2 The values of the dimensions and loads of test loading levels P3, P4 and P5 are specified in separate tables
in Clause 8. It is suggested that the values of the dimensions and loads specified in C.3 and Table C.2 are appropriate for
test loading level P6 and as an interim measure, pending validation, P7 and P8. Further test loading levels will be defined,
if necessary.

Delete the NOTE and replace by the following:
For the additional test loading levels P6, P7 and P8 the test forces are specified in Table C.1.
