| Abstract |
The PN-EN ISO 9999 standard Technical aids for persons with disabilities - Classification established in 2002 is the Polish version of EN ISO 9999. This standard establishes a classification of technical aids for persons with disabilities and is the basis for the unification of information systems concerning technical aids. It provides for the classification of such equipment according to its function. It covers equipment used individually by disabled persons in all areas of their daily life, taking new technologies into account. Moreover, the standard is the first formal document addressing the problem of testing and certification of technical aids for persons with disabilities and of issuing expert opinions concerning the usability of a given equipment for rehabilitation purposes. |
