EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/prAB:2026 is a draft amendment from CLC for household and similar electrical appliances used for cosmetic and beauty care. It modifies the safety requirements for appliances incorporating lasers or intense light sources that operate by contact with the skin and have a rated voltage not more than 250 V.
What does EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/prAB:2026 specify?
EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/prAB:2026 specifies amendments to the safety standard for cosmetic and beauty care appliances with lasers or intense light sources. It keeps the focus on household and similar use, and it adds material for appliances intended for beauty salons and similar premises.
The amendment is organized as modifications to the Introduction, Scope, Normative references, Terms and definitions, Marking and instructions, Construction, Components, Supply connection and external flexible cords, Resistance to rusting, Annex R, Annex ZC, Annex ZZA, and the Bibliography.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| R | Software evaluation |
| ZC | Normative references to international publications with corresponding European publications |
| ZZA | Relationship between this European Standard and Directive 2014/35/EU |
| ZZB | Relationship with Directive 2006/42/EC, marked not applicable |
What are the key requirements of EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/prAB:2026?
EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/prAB:2026 mainly updates how the base standard is applied, especially for user information, product construction, and EU legal alignment. In practice, it affects how manufacturers label the product, write instructions, choose components, and justify compliance.
Scope and intended use
Clause 1 adds beauty salons and similar premises to the scope note, and it clarifies that the covered appliances are for reasonably foreseeable hazards of intended use. The text also states that the appliances are not intended for children, or for use on the skin of children or domestic animals. That matters because the safety case and instructions must match the actual user environment.
Marking and instructions
Clause 7 strengthens the user warnings. The instructions must warn that the appliance is not to be used by children or on children, and it must be kept out of reach of children and domestic animals. The instructions also cover supervision, user maintenance, and use by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge. This means the manufacturer has to give clear, practical warnings and limits on who may use the appliance.
Construction and child appeal
Clause 22 adds that appliances covered by the document shall not be child-appealing. Clause 22.7 becomes not applicable, and Clauses 22.102 and 22.105 are made void. Clause 22.107 changes the clinical-study note so that ISO 14155 is treated as guidance for good clinical practice rather than as a required registered clinical study. This affects how any output-adjustment device is justified and documented.
Plug and socket requirements
Clauses 24 and 25 replace references to IEC/TR 60083 with national plug and socket outlet standards. The dimensions of pins and the engagement face must match the national standards for the countries where the appliance is sold. In practice, this pushes conformity work toward the target market’s plug system rather than one generic solution.
Other technical updates
Clause 31 is changed so that resistance to rusting is not applicable. Annex R updates software evaluation wording so the compliance checks are tied to Clause 19, 22.107, or 22.108 as relevant. Annex ZC updates the cited safety-sign standard and removes ISO 14155 from the normative references.
What terms does EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/prAB:2026 define?
- Maximum permissible exposure (MPE) - Clause 3.102 expands the abbreviation in the note to the term “maximum permissible exposure,” which is the exposure limit used in laser and intense light source safety context.
- Good clinical practice - Clause 22.107 and Annex ZC use this as the quality framework for clinical studies or guidance linked to the appliance’s evaluation.
- Presumption of conformity - Annex ZZA uses this to describe the legal effect of complying with the relevant clauses when the standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union.
- Routine tests - The foreword states that routine tests are not covered by this document, so production testing must be handled elsewhere.
- Child-appealing - Clause 22.44 uses this to require that the appliance should not attract children’s attention or invite child use.
- National plug and socket outlet standards - Clauses 24 and 25 use this term for the country-specific plug dimensions and interface requirements.
Who uses EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/prAB:2026?
Manufacturers of cosmetic and beauty care appliances use this amendment to update product design, warnings, and market access documents. Test laboratories and compliance teams use it when checking construction, labeling, software-related safety issues, and plug compatibility.
It is also relevant to quality managers, buyers, and regulatory staff working with products for household use, beauty salons, and similar premises. Because Annex ZZA links the standard to Directive 2014/35/EU, it also matters to teams preparing EU conformity files.
What changed in EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/prAB:2026 from the previous edition?
EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/prAB:2026 modifies EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023 and is read with EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/A11:2023 and EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/prA1:2026. The foreword lists these significant technical changes:
- data reference updates
- clarification for test set-up
- a statement that routine tests are not covered
- a link to legislation
It also updates the scope note, marking and instructions, plug and socket references, software-evaluation wording, and the EU relationship annexes.
Which standards are used with EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/prAB:2026?
EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/prAB:2026 is used together with EN 60335-1:2012+A11:2014+A13:2017+A1:2019+A14:2019+A2:2019+A15:2021+A16:2023 as Part 1, and with EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023+A11:2023+prA1:2025 as the companion Part 2. These parts provide the general household-appliance safety basis and the existing special requirements that this amendment modifies.
Annex ZC keeps ISO 7010 as the source for registered safety signs through EN ISO 7010. ISO 14155 is removed from the normative references and remains in the bibliography, where it is noted as harmonized as EN ISO 14155.
What does the EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/prAB:2026 document contain?
This amendment contains clause-by-clause modifications rather than a full rewrite of the base standard. It gives the changed text for the Introduction, Scope, references, definitions, marking, construction, components, supply connection, rusting resistance, software evaluation, and bibliography.
It also includes Annex ZC with the European reference list and Annex ZZA with the correspondence to Directive 2014/35/EU. Table ZZA.1 maps the directive’s safety objectives to the clauses of this standard, which is useful for conformity assessment and technical documentation.
