The classification system allows fencers to compete against others with a similar level of function.

Fencing has two classes, A and B. Wheelchairs were anchored to the ground during competition.

There were 84 fencers (60 male, 24 female) from 19 nations taking part in this sport.

This ranking sorts countries by the number of gold medals earned by their fencers (in this context a country is an entity represented by a National Paralympic Committee).

If, after the above, countries are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically.
