Description

 Side rail latches/locks shall remain secure when subjected to the forces of normal use. Compliance is checked by the following test. Forces are applied at the worst-case accessible location:
Cycle the side rail mechanism (from the latched, upper position, to the unlatched, lowered position, and back to the latched, upper position) for *0 **0 cycles. A force (as specified in figure **8) shall then be applied to the worst-case position for locking/latching of the side rail in the direction of unlatching/unlocking. The side rail shall not become unlatched/unlocked or create any other unacceptable risk.
Side rails shall be designed to withstand the forces applied during reasonably foreseeable misuse over the product life cycle without creating an unacceptable risk.
