Scope

ISO 8549 establishes a vocabulary of terms used in the fields of external limb prosthetics and orthotics. This document defines terms used to describe external limb prostheses.

The terms related to the amputation level and referred to in this standard are described in ISO 8549 4. The types of component used in the construction of prostheses are classified and described in ISO 13405 1:2015, ISO 13405 2:2015 and ISO 13405 3:2015.

For the purposes of this document, the abbreviated term ‘prosthetics’ and its derivatives only apply to external limb prosthetics.

Purpose

Revision of the published standard needs to be updated.
