Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis consumer safety specification addresses portable bed rail incidents that were identified by theU.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)

3、.In response to incident data supplied by the CPSC, this consumer safety specification attempts tominimize the following type of potential hazard through labeling and performance requirements:entrapment between the portable bed rail and mattress in the bed rail structure and entanglement onprotrusio

4、ns. Entrapment of a child by the head or neck can result in asphyxiation.This consumer safety specification is written within the current state-of-the-art of portable bed railtechnology. It is intended that this specification will be updated whenever substantive informationbecomes available that nec

5、essitates additional requirements or justifies the revision of existingrequirements.This consumer safety specification is not intended to address all the hazards of bed rails that areeither blatantly misused or used in a careless manner that disregards the instructional literature andwarning stateme

6、nts provided with each bed rail.1. Scope1.1 This consumer safety specification establishes require-ments for the performance of portable bed rails. It also containsrequirements for labeling and instructional literature.1.2 This consumer safety specification is intended to mini-mize hazards to childr

7、en resulting from normal use andreasonably foreseeable misuse of portable bed rails.1.3 For the purpose of this consumer safety specification, aportable bed rail is a device intended to be installed on an adultbed to prevent children from falling out of bed. These bed railsare intended for children

8、who can get in and out of an adult bedunassisted (typically from 2 to 5 years of age).1.4 No bed rail as defined in 3.1.1 that is produced after theapproval date of this consumer safety specification shall, eitherby label or other means, indicate compliance with this speci-fication unless it conform
