DESIGNATOR DESCRIPTION
DIMENSION
A
Smallest dimension between elements inside
the perimeter of the SIDE RAIL in its
raised/locked positions or perimeters created
between the SIDE RAIL and fixed parts of
the BED.
≤ 120 mm (4.72”)
B
Thickness of NORMAL USE mattress.
Specified by the manufacturer
C
Height of the top edge of the SIDE RAIL
above the mattress (see B) without
compression.
> 220 mm (8.66”)
D
Distance between HEAD PANEL or FOOT
PANEL and SIDE RAIL
≤ 60 mm (2.36”)
Or
> 235 mm (9.25”)
E
Distance between segmented SIDE RAIL
with
the
MATTRESS
SUPPORT
PLATFORM in the flat position
≤ 60 mm (2.36”)
Or
> 235 mm (9.25”)
F
Smallest dimension of any accessible
opening between the SIDE RAIL and the
MATTRESS SUPPORT PLATFORM.
If D or E >
235
mm(9.25”)
then F ≤ 60
mm (2.36”)
If D or E ≤ 60
mm (2.36”)
then F ≤ 120
mm (4.72”)
G
Total length of the SIDE RAIL or sum of
the length of segmented SIDE RAILS on
one side of the BED.
∑ Gx > half the length of the
MATTRESS
SUPPORT
PLATFORM
