Standards for Assistive Devices for Personal Care
By complying with internationally recognized standards, we ensure the quality, safety, and regulatory compliance of Pressalit's assistive devices for personal care.
With decades of experience in assistive technology and medical devices, we have served the market since the 1970s. We maintain high standards for our suppliers and work closely with leading industry partners such as LINAK A/S, which supplies certified electrical components for electromedical equipment in accordance with EN IEC 60601-1. These components include cables, actuators, and control boxes used in our medical products.
We develop, design, and manufacture products in accordance with the internationally harmonized Quality Management System standard for medical devices (EN ISO 13485:2016). Product safety is continuously maintained through a comprehensive risk management process in accordance with EN ISO 14971:2019.
Pressalit products are tested in accordance with the applicable international product standard that defines the requirements and test methods for assistive devices for personal hygiene (ISO 17966:2016).
We are committed to meeting our users' needs while continuously monitoring and complying with current regulatory requirements.
TÜV-Certified Products
Our products undergo extensive testing throughout the development process, and we are proud to have earned certification from the German testing organization TÜV SÜD.
TÜV SÜD is an accredited, independent testing organization that evaluates a wide range of assistive devices. TÜV certification provides independent third-party verification that a product and its supporting documentation comply with the requirements of a recognized standard.

Test methods
We never compromise when it comes to testing our products and solutions.
Our products are tested against the applicable standard for each product category. Products such as support arms, shower seats, shower changing tables, toilet lifts, wash basin brackets and grab rails are tested in accordance with ISO 17966. This standard specifies minimum requirements for both static and dynamic testing.

At Pressalit, we test our products to ensure they can withstand even the most demanding conditions. That is why we often carry out tests that exceed the requirements of the applicable standard. By pushing our products beyond standard requirements through rigorous testing, we identify potential weaknesses before they reach the market.
This enables us to stand behind every claim we make about the performance, durability and safety of our products.
