AS/NZS ISO 16840.3:2024 identically adopts ISO 16840 3:2022, which specifies requirements for static, impact, and repetitive load strengths for postural support devices (PSDs) with associated attachment hardware intended for use with an undefined wheelchair seating system. Specifies the test methods for determining whether the minimum performance requirements have been met to release a product into use. Also specifies requirements for disclosure of the test results
