When tested in accordance with Clauses 7.2 to 7.4, the test sample shall meet the following requirements at the conclusion of the tests:
(a) No component shall be fractured or have become detached, with the following exceptions:
(i) Readjustment of postural supports is allowed after each set of tests (e.g. between static and fatigue testing).
(ii) Re-tightening, readjusting or refitting of components that are identified in the manufacturer’s operator manual as operator-adjustable components is allowed at 25% intervals during the fatigue testing. Components identified as operator adjustable may require the use of tools, if the tools are provided with the bath seat. If there are operator adjustable components, fatigue test equipment may be stopped at 25% plus or minus 5% intervals, for inspection of operator- adjustable components, to determine if re-tightening, readjusting or refitting of operator-adjustable components is required. Re-tightening, readjusting or refitting shall then be performed, following the procedures outlined in the operator manual for the bath board/seat. Restart the test equipment after re- tightening, readjusting or refitting has been performed.
(iii) Re-tightening, readjusting or refitting of any other component is not allowed. (iv) Cracks in surface finishes, such as paint, that do not extend into the structural material do not constitute a failure.
(b) All parts intended to be removable, folding or adjustable shall operate as described by the manufacturer.
(c) No component or assembly of parts shall exhibit deformation, free play or loss of adjustment that adversely affects the function of the bath board/seat. This would include any dimensional difference from the values measured in 6.2.2, and, in the case of swivel bath boards/seats and, the performance of the swivel function.
(d) Where any structural surface is hidden and cannot be inspected for cracking/failure without disassembly of the bath seat, it shall be disassembled (with tools if necessary) and inspected.
