Principles and design criteria to be considered when designing, manufacturing, marking and packaging.

This Part of BS2574 provides guidance on the design, manufacture, marking and packaging of lower limb orthoses, except foot orthoses (FOs). Guidance on the materials used and on the manufacture of lower limb orthoses is given in Appendix A and Appendix B, respectively.

This Part of BS2574 does not apply to orthotic devices for use in the immediate treatment of acute trauma cases, nor to resting splints.

NOTE1 BS2574-2 and BS2931 specify requirements for metal knee joints and steel ankle joints, respectively.
