This European Standard does not apply in total to: - wheelchairs intended for special purposes, such as sports, showering, toiletting - custom-made wheelchairs - wheelchairs specially designed or with adaptations for specific disabled persons - stand-up wheelchairs - add-on power kits for manual wheelchairs.
