Please check whether your wheelchair is approved for passenger transport if you intend to remain seated in it during your journey with NT Flexible Transport.

Danish legislation requires all wheelchairs sold in Denmark to carry a CE mark. If you will be using your wheelchair as a seat during transport, the wheelchair must also be ISO 7176-19 certified or meet the requirements of the ISO 7176-19 standard.

ISO 7176-19 is an international standard that means a wheelchair has been tested and approved for transporting a person while seated in the wheelchair during travel, for example in accessible transport services.

How to check whether your wheelchair is approved

Most ISO-approved wheelchairs have a label or documentation stating:

  • ISO 7173-19
  • Crash testet
  • Approved for transport

You may also find:

  • A symbol indicating tie-down points
  • The manufacturer and model number

The label is often located:

  • On the frame
  • Under the seat
  • On the backrest
  • In the user manual
