Quality

Our approach

We submit our products to the CERAH (Centre d’Etudes et de Recherche sur l’Appareillage des Handicapés), accredited COFRAC (Comité Français d’Accréditation) to undergo a complete set of tests to guarantee the quality and safety of our products .

Following these experiments, none of the components used exhibit any deformation or breakage.

The FDI walking stick Soft Step is in full compliance with NF 1985

01. FATIGUE TEST

A loading force of 250 newtons is applied 825 000 times via a dummy arm to the fully-extended crutch.

02. LOW TEMPERATURE FALLING TEST

The Soft Step is placed  24 hours at -25 °C in the aim of weakening the structure.

Within 30 seconds of being removed from the cold environment, the walking stick undergoes a series of falls which must not reveal any cracks or fractures.
