Specifies recommendations for the provision and operation of systems to present essential information required by wheelchair users, their carers, vehicle drivers and their assistants, for the safer transport of wheelchair seated passengers in a road vehicle.

This British Standard gives recommendations for the provision and operation of systems to present essential information required by wheelchair users, their carers, vehicle drivers and their assistants, for the safer transport of wheelchair seated passengers in a road vehicle.

This British Standard also gives clarification on the roles and responsibilities of all parties engaged in the provision of wheelchairs, seating systems and wheelchair accessible transport services. This includes equipment prescribers, transport managers and transport commissioners, and outlines a risk oriented approach to maximizing passenger safety.

NOTE1 These recommendations are intended to operate in conjunction with transport providers operating risk assessment procedures as part of a risk management process.

NOTE2 While the information provided by a scheme might be relevant, it would not provide a wheelchair user additional right to travel on public transport.

NOTE3 Wheelchair users and their care providers have a responsibility in providing information pertinent to their safe transport (3.2.1).
