The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) defined this classification for para-Alpine as "Competitors with disabilities in one upper limb, skiing with two normal skis and one pole ... "The disability shall be such that the functional use of more than one pole is not possible. Typical disability profile of the class is single-arm amputation." In 2002, the Australian Paralympic Committee described this classification as a standing skiing classification with "Two skis, one pole, disability in one arm or hand." For para-Nordic skiing, the IPC defines this class as for "those with impairment in one entire limb."
