Rigorous Validation and Testing Procedures

Before reaching our end users, INTCO manual wheelchair factory passes through a layer of validation & testing processes to ensure its manual wheelchairs hold top-notch safety and durability standards. The fatigue test simulates long-term use of the wheelchair over an extended period, and is one of the most important tests that they carry out. Such testing also evaluates the strength of certain components, such as frames and casters, under regimens that replicate years of continuous use. Through these assessments, INTCO can find out how the wheelchairs perform in normal use.

Realizing that the user experience is an important part of the in-use performance, INTCO manual wheelchair factory also incorporated silent room tests into its validation protocols when doing testing for manual wheelchairs. In places like healthcare facilities, noise can quickly become a major component when it’s vital to keep an environment calm. This test assesses the quality of noise produced by moving the wheelchair to ensure a discreet and quiet ride. Engineers carefully evaluate noise created by items like tires and brakes while in operation. The results of the silent room tests are also communicated to the design teams as necessary adjustments are made for future models.

Another important test in INTCO manual wheelchair factory rigorous validation process is ramp testing which aims to assess the manual wheelchair performance on an incline. It evaluates how well a wheelchair can negotiate different ramp types mirroring the actual use environment of users in their everyday lives. In an incremental test of slope, INTCO manual wheelchair factory calculates the stability, traction and ease of maneuver for a wheelchair on slopes with different degrees. That data collected during these assessments can give you the most vital insight into the efficiency of design and performance of components.
