Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www .iso .org/
iso/ foreword .html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee 173, Assistive products for persons with
disability.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 11199-2:2005), which has been
technically revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— corrected the definition of Rollator to conform to the definition described in ISO 9999:2016
(classification no.: 12 06 06)
— added the clause for requirements and test methods for backrest
— added the clauses for relevant general requirements for assistive products for walking based upon
ISO/DIS 21856, ISO 17966, and EN12182
Assistive products for walking manipulated by both arms are covered by the following International
Standards:
— Part 1: Walking frames
— Part 2: Rollators
— Part 3: Walking tables
— ISO 19894: Walking trolleys
These Standards can be found on the ISO website.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

Introduction
A rollator, as defined in ISO 11199-2 can be used when a person needs assistance when walking. The
rollator can provide stability when walking and standing and reduce the risk of falling. Rollators are
designed to support the user inside a frame to carry the user’s weight. Rollators may be equipped with
a resting seat, backrest and/or shopping bag. Rollators are not intended to be moved with the user on
the seat like a wheelchair. The seat is provided as a resting seat with brakes engaged. In addition to the
requirements in this international standard, Annex B gives general recommendations.

Assistive products for walking, manipulated by both
arms — Requirements and test methods —
Part 2:
Rollators
1 Scope
This part of ISO 11199 specifies requirements and test methods of rollators being used as assistive
products for walking with wheels, manipulated by both arms, without accessories, unless specified
in the particular test procedure. This part of ISO 11199 also gives requirements relating to safety,
ergonomics, performance and information supplied by the manufacturer including marking and
labelling.
The requirements and tests are based on every-day use of rollators as assistive products for walking
for a maximum user mass as specified by the manufacturer. This part of ISO 11199 includes rollators
specified for a user mass of no less than 35 kg.
This part of ISO 11199 is not applicable to rollators with horizontal forearm supports, classified as
walking tables, for which ISO 11199-3 is applicable.
