EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/FprA1:2026 is a CENELEC draft amendment to the European safety standard for household and similar electrical appliances used for beauty care with lasers or intense light sources. It applies to appliances that operate by contact with the skin and have a rated voltage not above 250 V, and it updates marking, test methods and emission limits for these products.

What does EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/FprA1:2026 specify?

EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/FprA1:2026 modifies EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023 rather than replacing it. The amendment text revises the title and scope wording, updates references and definitions, and changes requirements in Clauses 7, 13, 21, 22, 30 and 32.

The focus stays on safety for cosmetic and beauty care appliances that incorporate lasers or intense light sources. The document is organized as targeted amendments to the base standard, with new and replaced text inserted where the safety rules change.

What are the key requirements of EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/FprA1:2026?

EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/FprA1:2026 concentrates on warning users, limiting leakage current, protecting the enclosure, and controlling optical radiation. In practice, it tells manufacturers what to mark, what to test, and when extra safety evidence is needed.

Marking and instructions

Clause 7 updates the warning and instruction text for Class 1C laser product appliances. The appliance may use the sign in Figure 101 or ISO 7010-W004 together with the stated warning text. That matters because the user must be alerted that the product uses laser radiation and must be used as instructed.

Clause 7 also updates warning-sign references used in instructions and marking, including ISO 7010-W004 and ISO 7010-W027. That means labels, manuals and on-product warnings need to match the revised sign system.

Leakage current and mechanical strength

Clause 13 sets a specific leakage-current limit for an applicator intended to make contact with the human body, and adds a second measurement with supply conductors interrupted one at a time. This is the electrical shock-control part of the standard and affects test planning and design margins.

Clause 21 adds crush and drop tests for the enclosure of a detachable power supply part used in a flexible cord. The part must survive mechanical abuse without losing safety functions or creating flames or molten metal. That matters for daily handling, cord strain and accidental drops.

Skin safety and optical radiation

Clause 22 adds a skin-pigmentation assessment and output-adjustment requirement when the appliance emits above the AEL of a Class 3B laser product or when an ILS is classified as risk group 3. If the appliance does not adjust output, the manufacturer must support safety with a registered clinical study on human skin under good clinical practice as described in ISO 14155.

Clause 22 also requires software controls when compliance depends on a programmable electronic circuit, with fault and error conditions handled as specified in Table R.1 and evaluated under Annex R. That matters whenever safety depends on firmware or software logic.

Clauses 22 and 32 set stray optical-radiation limits for laser products and ILS products. The appliance must stay within the relevant Class 1, Class 2, exempt-group or risk-group 1 limits depending on the product and test condition. This is the core control for eye and skin exposure.

Heat and fire

Clause 30 links beauty care appliances incorporating lasers or intense light sources to 30.2.2. In practical terms, the product still has to meet the heat-and-fire construction checks that apply to this product family.

What terms does EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/FprA1:2026 define?

• Accessible emission limit (AEL) - the maximum accessible emission allowed for a laser product class.
• Intense light source (ILS) - a light source category used in this standard for beauty care appliances with strong optical output.
• Exempt group - the low-emission category in IEC 62471 used as the benchmark for some ILS products.
• Class 1C laser product - a laser product appliance that uses the specific warning sign or warning text described in Clause 7.
• Good clinical practice - the clinical-study framework used when validating safety on human skin.
• Programmable electronic circuit - a circuit whose software must control specified fault and error conditions when compliance depends on software.

Who uses EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/FprA1:2026?

Manufacturers and designers of beauty care appliances use this standard to set safety features, labels and test plans. Test laboratories and certification bodies use it to check leakage current, mechanical strength and optical-radiation compliance.

Quality managers, regulatory teams and buyers use it when evaluating household and similar appliances that incorporate lasers or intense light sources. It is relevant in domestic safety and body care equipment.

What changed in EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/FprA1:2026 from the previous edition?

This draft amendment updates the base standard by:

• revising the title and scope wording;
• replacing the normative reference to ISO 7010 with ISO 7010:2019;
• updating terms and definitions linked to AEL, IEC 60825-1 and IEC 62471;
• changing marking and instruction rules for Class 1C laser product appliances;
• adding leakage-current checks for body-contact applicators;
• adding crush and drop tests for detachable power supply parts;
• adding skin-pigmentation assessment and output-adjustment requirements;
• tightening stray optical-radiation limits and test methods;
• revising the heat-and-fire and radiation clauses;
• adding Figure 101 for Class 1C laser product appliances.

Which standards are used with EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/FprA1:2026?

• ISO 7010:2019 - provides the registered safety signs used for warnings and instructions.
• IEC 60825-1:2014 - provides laser-product classification and the AEL basis used in the radiation limits and tests.
• IEC 62471:2006 - provides the risk-group framework and emission limits for intense light sources.
• ISO 14155 - provides the good clinical practice framework for the human-skin validation study.
• EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/prAB:2026 - the foreword says this amendment is read together with that companion draft, including its informative Annex ZZA on EU legislation.

What does the EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/FprA1:2026 document contain?

This document contains amendment text only, not a full rewrite of the safety standard. It provides replacement paragraphs, new subclauses, revised references and Figure 101. The detailed limits and methods are tied to clauses and to referenced tables in IEC 60825-1, IEC 62471 and Annex R. It is the text used to update product design, testing, conformity assessment and technical documentation for beauty care appliances that use lasers or intense light sources.

AMENDMENT 1
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
