B,RIEF HISTORY
The IS0 Recommendation R 168, Stretchers, Stretcher Carriers and Hospital Trolleys.
Dimensions, was drawn up by Technical Committee ISO/TC 75, Stretchers and Stretcher
Carriers, the Secretariat of which is held by the British Standards Institution (B.S.I.).
This Technical Committee was set up in 1950, following a proposal from the British
Standards Institution to undertqke the " standardization of those dimensions of stretchers
and of stretcher carriers in ambulances, essential to secure interchangeability ".
In October 1950, the ISO/+C 75 Secretariat submitted to the Members of the Tech-
nical Committee a draft propopal, which was later, in April 1952, distributed to all the
IS0 Member Bodies as a first Draft IS0 Recommendation (No. 11).
The numerous observatiom sent in during this first consultation led to extensive
correspondence among the Menbbers of the Technical Committee and reached a conclusion
with the drawing up of a revised text which was discussed at the first plenary meeting of
Technical Committee ISO/TC 75, held in London, in October 1957.
This revised text was thereafter circulated to the Members of the Technical Committee
in March 1958, and was duly abproved by postal ballot as the second Draft IS0 Recom-
mendation (No. 11).
On 22 May 1959, the Secqnd Draft IS0 Recommendation (No. 11) was distributed
to all the IS0 Member Bodies qnd was approved by the following Member Bodies:
Burma Ireland Portugal
Chile Israel Spain
Italy United Kingdom
France
Japan Yugoslavia
Germany
Greece , Netherlands
India , New Zealand
No Member Body opposed the approval of the Draft.
The Draft IS0 RecommenJdation was then submitted by correspondence to the IS0
Council, which decided, in Deceimber 1960, to accept it as an IS0 RECOMMENDATION.
