The classification consists of three hierarchical levels and the codes each consist of three pairs of digits. Like other classifications, for each level, codes, titles, explanatory notes, inclusions, exclusions and cross-references are given. Besides the explanatory text and the classification itself, a table of conversion between the previous (2002) edition and this edition of this International Standard and an alphabetical index are provided in order to facilitate the use of and to improve the accessibility of the classification. In this fourth edition of ISO 9999, the title has been changed from “Technical aids for persons with disabilities Classification and terminology” to “Assistive products for persons with disability Classification and terminology”. Hence “Technical aids” are referred to as “Assistive products”. The former class 21 “Aids for communication, information and signalling” has been revised and replaced by a new class 22 “Assistive products for communication and information”. Relation to the WHO Family of International Classifications In 2003, ISO 9999 was accepted as a related member of the WHO Family of International Classifications (WHO-FIC). The WHO-FIC is comprised of high quality classifications for relevant sectors of the health system. With this inclusion, the use of this International Standard will be stimulated. This International Standard makes use of the terminology of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF, WHO, 2001). ICF is a classification of health and health-related domains. These domains are classified from body, individual and societal perspectives by means of two lists: a list of body functions and structure and a list of domains of activity and participation. Since an individuals functioning and disability occurs in a context, ICF also includes a list of environmental factors. The ICF is one of the core classifications of the WHO-FIC. A separate document is under development in order to show the relationship between this International Standard and ICF at the level of codes. This document can be obtained on request from the secretariat of ISO/TC 173/SC 2. Proposal for changes Proposals for changes or additions to this International Standard, both in respect of existing and proposed new classes/subclasses/divisions, which take into account the given rules for classification, may be submitted to a national member body of ISO with an accompanying explanation for the proposal. For addresses of national member bodies see: http:/www.iso.org. NOTE 1 Some of the assistive products for persons with disability can be classified as medical devices, which have to fulfil the requirements of the Council Directive 93/42 EEC of June 1993. The general requirements for assistive products for persons with disability are given in EN 12182:1999. NOTE 2 National member bodies are encouraged to improve the accessibility of the classification by the addition of national language synonyms to the nationally implemented standard. NOTE 3 Generally available devices are included when they serve as assistive products for persons with disability.

The following items are specifically excluded from this International Standard: items used for the installation of assistive products; solutions obtained by combinations of assistive products which are individually classified in this International Standard; medicines; assistive products and instruments used exclusively by healthcare professionals; non-technical solutions, such as personal assistance, guide dogs or lip-reading; implanted devices; financial support. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
