The RMA Sport Rugby Wheelchairs are hand-built as a bespoke sport product enabling the user to
participate in a sport in which conventional wheelchairs are not capable of withstanding the dynamic /
physical stresses the sport demands. As such, the standard requirements of manual wheelchairs are
not fully applied to these products.
Due to the nature of the sport, the chairs are classified as ‘Custom Made Devices’ under the MDD and
as such are exempt from bearing the ‘CE’ mark normally associated with Medical Devices. They do
however have to comply with the Essential Requirements of Annex I of the MDD.
Introduction
Each wheelchair is intended to be used solely for the purpose of participating in the sport of Wheelchair
Rugby. Due to the requirements of the sport, these products are not suitable or intended for everyday
use.
