This part of ISO 10542 specifies test methods and requirements for design and performance, for instructions and warnings to installers and users, and for product marking and labelling for wheelchair tiedown and occupant-restraint systems (WTORS). It applies to all WTORS that use belt-type occupant restraints that are intended for adult-occupied wheelchairs used as forward-facing seats by passengers and drivers of motor vehicles.

This part of ISO 10542 applies primarily to complete WTORS, but other parts of ISO 10542 can also be applied to components and subassemblies sold separately and for replacement parts.

This part of ISO 10542 applies to WTORS intended for use with all types of manual and powered wheelchairs intended for use by adults, including three- and four-wheeled scooters.
