ISO 9999 — Classes
ISO 9999, Assistive products for persons with disability — Classification and terminology classifies assistive products based on a product's function. At its highest level, ISO 9999 defines 12 functional areas called "classes," each of which is subdivided into "subclasses." Within most subclasses, more specific categories called "divisions" are listed. ISO 9999 is produced by the International Organization for Standardization, an international federation of national standards bodies.
