Scope

ISO 11199-2:2005 specifies requirements and methods of testing the static stability braking capabilities, static strength and fatigue of rollators being used as walking aids with wheels, manipulated by the hands, without accessories, unless specified in the particular test procedure. ISO 11199-2:2005 also gives requirements relating to safety, ergonomics, performance, and information supplied by the manufacturer including marking and labelling.
The requirements and tests are based on every-day usage of rollators as walking aids, for a maximum user mass as specified by the manufacturer. ISO 11199-2:2005 includes rollators specified for a user mass of no less than 35 kg.
ISO 11199-2:2005 is not applicable to rollators with horizontal forearm supports, classified as walking tables, for which ISO 11199-3 is applicable.
