This SAE Recommended Practice establishes a uniform procedure for assuring the manufactured quality, installed utility, and performance of automotive powered gas/brake controls other than those provided by the vehicle manufacturer (OEM). These products are intended to provide driving capability to persons with physical disabilities. These products function as adaptive modifications to compensate for lost or reduced function in the extremities of the driver. Powered gas/brake control systems are not only designed to transfer foot functions to the hands or from one side of the body to the other, but to supplement by power, other than by the driver’s own muscular efforts, the force output of the driver.

This test procedure is for Qualification Testing of electrically powered hydraulic or mechanically operated devices which permit a person in a manual or powered wheelchair to enter or exit a personally licensed vehicle. It establishes minimum test requirements for compliance. A lift completing the test without failure under this procedure shall be considered in compliance. The tests in Section 3 shall be done in the sequence listed.
