This standard is an international standard that focuses on the requirements for basic safety and basic performance of medical beds for children.

EN 50637 medical beds with non-adjustable and electrical mechanical adjustable functions. EN 50637 is valid for medical beds up to 155 cm inner length suitable for 180 cm body length.

180 cm cannot minimize the foreseeable misuse of a parent sharing the bed with the child or that the bed will be used by an ADULT.

EN 50637 on requirements for basic safety and basic performance of medical beds for children is useful for:

• health departments,
• medical mattress manufacturers for children ,
• Professional technicians involved in the maintenance of medical equipment.

According to representatives of Competent Authorities, part of the safety issue is that adult medical beds are not properly labeled as intended for adults with normal anatomy only. Therefore, users are not always aware of the risk of medical beds for young patients or adults with atypical anatomy. The purpose of EN 50637 is to establish basic safety and basic performance requirements and test methods for medical beds.
