This International Standard deals with the safety of cosmetic and beauty care appliances
incorporating lasers or intense light sources for household and similar purposes, where their
operation relies on contact with the skin, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V.
NOTE 101 Battery-operated appliances and other d.c. supplied appliances are within the scope of this standard.
Dual supply appliances, either mains-supplied or battery-operated, are regarded as battery-operated appliances
when operated in the battery mode.
This standard covers appliances with a light emitting surface less than 25 cm 2 . Appliances
with a light emitting surface equal to or greater than 25 cm 2 are within the scope
of IEC 60335-2-27.
Appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless may be a source of
danger to the public such as appliances intended to be used in beauty salons and similar
premises are also within the scope of this standard.
Appliances covered by the scope of this standard include but are not limited to:
– appliances for control of hair growth;
– appliances for skin and beauty care incorporating lasers or intense light sources (ILS).
NOTE 102 Appliances incorporating lasers or intense light sources (ILS) either heat up hair follicles or skin
tissue to produce thermal effects or to produce photo-biological effects from specific wavelengths.

appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general,
it does not take into account:
– persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without
supervision or instruction;
– children playing with the appliance.
NOTE 103 Attention is drawn to the fact that in many countries additional requirements are specified by the
national health authorities.

IEC 60335-2-105:2016 deals with the safety of electric multifunctional shower cabinets and electric separate multifunctional shower units for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances. Appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless may be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in hotels, fitness centres and similar locations, are within the scope of this standard. This standard deals with the reasonably foreseeable hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons. However, in general, it does not take into account persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities; or lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction; children playing with the appliance. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2004 including its Amendment 1 (2008) and its Amendment 2 (2013). It constitutes a technical revision. The principal changes in this edition as compared with the first edition of IEC 60335-2-105 are as follows: - revised the application of a live part (8.1.4); - aligned the temperature rise limits of surfaces likely to be in contact with the skin with IEC Guide 117 for a contact time of one minute (Table 3). This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60335-1:2010. It was established on the basis of the fifth edition (2010) of that standard. The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 12 months or later than 36 months from the date of its publication.
