The current IEC standard recognizes that the bed frame, deck, and rails are the major elements involved in entrapment, but does not include the mattress as a contributor or mitigator and sets dimensions for new beds only. The International Electrotechnical Commission ( IEC) issued an internationally recognized standard that applies to a certain segment of the products addressed in this guidance, products labelled as "electrically-operated hospital beds." This standard is IEC 6, including Amendment 1 Footnote 11.
