Full title and description

Technical systems and aids for disabled or handicapped persons — Wheelchair tiedown and occupant‑restraint systems — Part 3: Docking‑type tiedown systems (ISO 10542‑3:2005). This part specifies design and performance requirements, information/marking and test methods for docking‑type wheelchair tiedown systems and the universal docking interface geometry (UDIG).

Abstract

ISO 10542‑3:2005 defines requirements and recommendations (design, performance, instructions, warnings, marking and labelling) for wheelchair tiedown and occupant‑restraint systems (WTORS) that use a docking‑type tiedown. It specifies the universal docking interface geometry (UDIG) and a test method for assessing wheelchair movement and retention. The standard is intended for docking devices used to secure manual and powered forward‑facing wheelchairs and scooters (three or more wheels) for adult passengers and drivers in motor vehicles.

Scope

Specifies design, performance and information requirements for docking‑type wheelchair tiedown devices (WTORS) intended to secure all types of manual and powered forward‑facing wheelchairs and scooters (three or more wheels) used by adult passengers and drivers in motor vehicles. The part establishes the universal docking interface geometry (UDIG) and provides a method to test and measure wheelchair movement when secured. It was written primarily for complete WTORS but can apply to components and replacement parts.

Key topics and requirements

• Universal docking interface geometry (UDIG) specification (dimensional and interface requirements for docking devices).
• Design and performance requirements for docking‑type tiedown devices (strength, retention, engagement).
• Information, identification, marking and user/installer instructions and warnings.
• Test method for assessing wheelchair movement and performance of the docking interface (test procedures described, including an informative test annex).
• Applicability to manual and powered wheelchairs and mobility scooters; guidance for components and subassemblies.

Typical use and users

Used by vehicle manufacturers, mobility‑equipment designers and manufacturers, accessibility product suppliers, testing laboratories, certification bodies, installers of WTORS, and regulatory or procurement authorities specifying securement systems for accessible transport. The standard provided manufacturers and installers with interface geometry and performance requirements to ensure compatible and repeatable docking across devices.

Related standards

ISO 10542 is a multi‑part series. ISO 10542‑3:2005 has been withdrawn and related requirements were consolidated into later editions of the series (notably ISO 10542‑1:2012 and its amendments). Earlier parts (ISO 10542‑1, ‑2, ‑4, ‑5) have also been revised or withdrawn as the series was consolidated. For current, in‑force requirements consult ISO 10542‑1:2012 and its amendments.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10542‑3:2005 is the part of the ISO 10542 series that specified requirements for docking‑type wheelchair tiedown and occupant‑restraint systems, including the universal docking interface geometry (UDIG).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers design and performance requirements, instructions and warnings for installers and users, product marking and labelling, the UDIG dimensional/interface specification, and a method to test wheelchair movement when secured.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Vehicle and mobility‑equipment manufacturers, accessibility product suppliers, test laboratories, certification bodies, installers and procurement/regulatory authorities concerned with wheelchair securement in vehicles.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 10542‑3:2005 has been withdrawn (cancelled 19 December 2012) and related requirements were superseded/consolidated into ISO 10542‑1:2012 and subsequent amendments; users should refer to the current ISO 10542‑1 edition for up‑to‑date requirements.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 10542 is a series of parts covering wheelchair tiedown and occupant‑restraint systems; Part 3 (this document) was one part of that series and its content has been addressed in later consolidated editions of the series.
