Appareils électrodomestiques et analogues - Sécurité - Partie 2-120: Exigences particulières de sécurité des appareils destinés à produire des aérosols directement inhalables
L'IEC 60335-2-120:2024 traite de la sécurité des appareils destinés à produire des aérosols directement inhalables dont la tension assignée n'est pas supérieure à 250 V pour les appareils monophasés et les autres appareils, y compris les appareils alimentés en courant continu et les appareils alimentés par batteries. La liste suivante répertorie les exemples d'appareils qui relèvent du domaine d'application de la présente norme: - les appareils à vapeur et à aérosol; - les appareils à vapoter individuels avec ou sans nicotine; - les cigarettes électroniques; - les systèmes électroniques de délivrance de nicotine (ENDS, Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems); - les systèmes électroniques de délivrance de produits autres que la nicotine (ENNDS, Electronic Non-Nicotine Delivery Systems); - les appareils électroniques de chauffage du tabac pour les produits du tabac chauffés. La présente norme ne s'applique pas: - aux ventilateurs médicaux; - aux humidificateurs (IEC 60335-2-98). D'autres aspects liés à la sécurité des appareils compris dans le domaine d'application de la présente norme peuvent être couverts par des normes établies par le comité technique ISO/TC 126. Ces exigences ne s'appliquent pas aux consommables, tels que les e-liquides et autres substances inhalées sous forme d'aérosols, aux mèches et autres particules inhalées lors de l'utilisation, ni aux substances émises lors du fonctionnement des appareils. Par exemple, les émissions de métaux lourds dans l'aérosol et l'exposition de l'environnement ne sont pas couvertes par la présente norme. Ces exigences ne tiennent pas compte des effets physiologiques de tout consommable utilisé avec les appareils. La présente Norme internationale ne traite pas des exigences ou interdictions concernant l'étiquetage, l'emballage et le contenu des produits qui contiennent ou consomment de la nicotine, ceux-ci étant strictement régis par la législation de la juridiction concernée. La présente partie 2 doit être utilisée conjointement avec la dernière édition de l'IEC 60335 1 et ses amendements sauf si cette édition l'exclut. Dans ce cas, la dernière édition qui n'exclut pas la présente partie 2 est utilisée. Elle a été établie sur la base de la sixième édition (2020) de cette norme.

Part 2-120: Particular requirements for the safety of appliances
for the generation of directly inhalable aerosols
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) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document.
