Appareils électrodomestiques et analogues - Sécurité - Partie 2-113: Exigences particulières pour les appareils destinés aux soins cosmétiques et esthétiques comportant des lasers et des sources de lumière de forte intensité

IEC 60335-2-113:2016 traite de la sécurité des appareils de soins cosmétiques et esthétiques comportant des lasers ou des sources de lumière de forte intensité pour usages domestiques et analogues, dont le fonctionnement dépend du contact avec la peau et dont la tension assignée n'est pas supérieure à 250 V. NOTE 101 - Les appareils alimentés par batteries et les autres appareils alimentés en courant continu sont compris dans le domaine d'application de la présente norme. Les appareils à double alimentation, alimentés soit par le réseau soit par batteries, sont considérés comme des appareils alimentés par batteries lorsqu'ils fonctionnent en mode batterie. La présente norme couvre les appareils dont la surface électroluminescente est inférieure à 25 cm2. Les appareils dont la surface électroluminescente est supérieure ou égale à 25 cm2 relèvent du domaine d'application de l'IEC 60335-2-27. Les appareils non destinés à un usage domestique normal, mais qui néanmoins peuvent constituer une source de danger pour le public, tels que les appareils destinés à être utilisés dans des salons de beauté et des locaux analogues relèvent également du domaine d'application de la présente norme. Les appareils couverts par le domaine d'application de la présente norme incluent, sans toutefois s'y limiter: - les appareils pour le contrôle de la pousse des cheveux et - les appareils pour les soins de la peau et les soins esthétiques comportant des lasers ou des sources de lumière de forte intensité (ILS, intense light source). Les appareils comportant des lasers ou des sources de lumière de forte intensité (ILS) chauffent les follicules capillaires ou les tissus cutanés afin de produire des effets thermiques ou des effets photobiologiques à partir de longueurs d'ondes spécifiques. Dans la mesure du possible, la présente norme traite des dangers ordinaires présentés par les appareils, encourus par tous les individus à l'intérieur et autour de l'habitation. Cependant, la présente norme ne tient généralement pas compte: - des personnes (y compris des enfants) dont les capacités physiques, sensorielles ou mentales ou le manque d'expérience et de connaissance les empêchent d'utiliser l'appareil en toute sécurité sans surveillance ou instruction - ou de l'utilisation de l'appareil comme jouet par des enfants. L'attention des Comités nationaux est attirée sur le fait que les fabricants d'appareils et les organismes d'essai peuvent avoir besoin d'une période transitoire après la publication d'une nouvelle publication IEC, ou d'une publication amendée ou révisée, pour fabriquer des produits conformes aux nouvelles exigences et pour adapter leurs équipements aux nouveaux essais ou aux essais révisés. Le comité recommande que le contenu de la présente norme soit entériné au niveau national au plus tôt 12 mois ou au plus tard 36 mois après la date de publication. Mots clés: cosmétiques, soins esthétiques, lasers, sources de lumière de forte intensité Cette publication doit être lue conjointement avec la IEC 60335-1:2010.

Overview

EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/prAB:2026 specifies safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances used for cosmetic and beauty care, particularly those that incorporate lasers and intense light sources. The standard applies to devices intended for use in homes and similar environments, operating at rated voltages not exceeding 250 V and designed for direct contact with the skin. It also covers professional beauty care appliances used in salons and similar premises.

Developed by CLC/TC 61, this European Standard is intended to support compliance with the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU by addressing reasonably foreseeable hazards associated with such appliances, ensuring safety for all users when the devices are used as intended.

Keywords: household cosmetic appliances, beauty care lasers, intense light source safety, appliance safety standards, EN IEC 60335-2-113, electrical safety, beauty device compliance, CLC standards.

Key Topics

• Scope and Applicability

  • Covers household and similar appliances for cosmetic and beauty care purposes.
  • Applies to devices employing lasers or intense light sources that operate in direct contact with the skin.
  • Limits applicability to appliances with rated voltages up to 250 V.
  • Includes equipment used in beauty salons.

• Hazard Assessment

  • Focuses on reasonably foreseeable hazards to users and domestic animals, arising from intended use.
  • Appliances must not be child-appealing and are not intended for use by or on children or animals.

• Instructions and Marking

  • Specifies content and clarity of user instructions to ensure safe usage.
  • Mandates specific safety warnings about use by and on children and animals.
  • Requires clear markings for voltage and safety symbols, with reference to ISO 7010 graphical safety standards.

• Construction and Components

  • Requires national standards for plug and socket systems.
  • Specifies that components must meet relevant safety and quality benchmarks.

• Legislative Compliance

  • Aligns with European legal frameworks, particularly the Low Voltage Directive.
  • Ensures manufacturers’ products, when compliant, can be presumed to meet essential EU safety requirements.

Applications

This standard provides essential safety guidelines for the design, manufacturing, and use of cosmetic and beauty care appliances that incorporate laser and intense light technologies. Typical applications include:

• Consumer Home-use Devices: Hair removal, skin rejuvenation, blemish or wrinkle treatment devices.
• Professional Beauty Equipment: Appliances used in salons for similar purposes, such as IPL (intense pulsed light) devices, laser therapy units, and photo rejuvenation systems.

For manufacturers and importers, EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/prAB:2026 is a critical reference to ensure equipment placed on the European market satisfies both national and EU safety requirements. Testing laboratories employ the standard to assess product compliance, while regulatory authorities use it as a benchmark for market surveillance.

Practical value:

• Mitigates risks to users and children by requiring robust safety features and documentation.
• Supports simplified market access through harmonized conformity assessment.
• Helps prevent legal and financial liabilities for non-compliance.

Related Standards

Several related standards and guidance documents complement EN IEC 60335-2-113:2023/prAB:2026:

• EN 60335-1 (General Safety of Household Appliances): Sets overarching safety requirements for electrical appliances, referenced as Part 1.
• EN IEC 60335-2 Series: Details safety for various specific categories of household and similar appliances.
• ISO 7010: Standard for safety symbols and markings on equipment.
• EN ISO 14155: Reference for clinical investigation of medical devices (not mandatory under this amendment but included in the bibliography).
• Relevant National Plug and Socket Outlet Standards: For conformity in supply connection components.

This harmonized standard is essential for stakeholders developing, testing, selling, or using cosmetic and beauty electrical devices incorporating lasers or intense light sources within the European market, helping ensure safety, regulatory compliance, and user confidence.
