The wheelchair Magixis hereby approved for the transport in accordance with the ISO standard 7176-19, ISO 10542-1
Here you will find information relating to the wheelchair Magix has been subjected to crash tests. You will also find information on the
transportation of persons in their wheelchair on board a vehicle, information on the fastening systems used during the crash tests, as well as
diagrams of the anchor points on the seat. Anchorage devices (hooks, straps, quick coupler etc.) of a fastening system wheelchair must be
installed on the anchorage points indicated on the seat.
The Magix has been tested in accordance with ISO 7176-19 and ISO 10542-1, using a anthropomorphic dummy (75 kg Hybrid 2), vehicle moving
toward the front, with a frontal impact, and a fastening system of the wheelchair (system to 4 anchor points and a securement system rapid
DAHL "Docking station" not available in North America), as well as a restraint system to 3 points for the occupant (lap and shoulder conform to
ISO 10542). During the tests, the product has not been changed and does not have spare parts, or accessories.
The results obtained following the tests carried out show that our product is resistant to strong impacts products during the crash tests, in
accordance with the ISO standard 7176-19. And therefore, it can serve as a seat on board a vehicle.
The Magix can be transported with user, if the vehicle is equipped with fastening system wheelchair and restraint of the occupant complies with
the requirements of standard ISO 10,542. In order to determine if the system that you are using meets these requirements, please contact the
manufacturer of the fastening system of the wheelchair and occupant restraint.
Because the crash tests (simulation of a frontal impact) may not, in any case, repeat all the real situations of the road and represent a fictitious
test performed in the laboratory, we recommend that you always, if it’s possible, to transfer the wheelchair user to a seat in the vehicle and
store the wheelchair in the luggage compartment. By design, the seat of the vehicle offers the highest level of security because it is anchored to
the chassis and provided for this purpose. If the wheelchairs had to be manufactured in accordance with the requirements imposed on the car
they could no longer fulfill their role, namely ensuring the mobility of persons with disabilities.
