Foreword
At the Milan meeting of CENELEC TC 61 in November 2004, it was decided to submit
amendment 1:2004 to IEC 60335-2-27:2002, prepared by the IEC Technical Committee 61, to the
Unique Acceptance Procedure.
A proposal to amend EN 60335-2-27:2003, document CLC/TC 61(SEC)1482, was discussed during
the Balsthal meeting of CENELEC TC 61 in June 2004, when it was decided to submit a draft for an
amendment to the Unique Acceptance Procedure.
Although both drafts (prA1 & prAA) received sufficient support, CENELEC TC 61 set up an ad hoc WG
for adapting the standard to Mandate M/397 received from the European Commission. This ad hoc
WG prepared a draft, document CLC/TC 61(SEC)1598, that was discussed during the Málaga meeting
of CENELEC TC 61 in June 2007, when it was decided to submit a draft to the formal vote.
The draft was circulated in October 2007 and was approved by CENELEC as amendment A1 to
EN 60335-2-27:2003 on 2008-10-01.
The following dates are applicable:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2009-04-01
– date on which the national standards conflicting
with the amendment have to be withdrawn (dow) 2009-04-01
Compliance with the provisions of this amendment ensures that the concerns expressed in
1)
Commission Opinion 2004/C275/03 are met.
There are no special national conditions causing a deviation from this amendment.
There are no national deviations from this amendment, other than those listed in Annex ZB to
EN 60335-2-27:2003.

3.Z101
minimal erythemal dose (MED)
the minimal amount of UV radiation exposure required to cause perceptible reddening of the skin

• persons with a family history of melanoma;
Add the following new items after the first dashed item:
– a statement that exposures should not exceed a person's minimal erythemal dose (MED).
If erythema (skin reddening) appears hours after any exposure, further exposure should
cease. After one week, exposures could be restarted from the beginning of the schedule of
exposure;
– a statement that UV appliances are not to be used without taking medical advice if
unexpected effects, such as itching, occur within 48 h of the first session.
Replace Note 101 by the following:
NOTE 101 The recommended exposure time for the first-test session for untanned skin is to correspond to a dose not
exceeding 100 J/m², weighted according to the erythema action spectrum shown in Figure 101, or as a result of a test
on a small area of the skin. Otherwise sunbed exposure should be at least 10 min.
Replace Note 102 by the following:
NOTE 102 As any exposure to UV radiation increases the risk of skin cancer, there is no safe value of maximum
yearly dose, but it is recommended not to exceed 25 kJ/m , weighted according to the non-melanoma skin cancer
action spectrum shown in Figure 101 and taking into account the recommended schedule of exposure.
p 7.14 Ignore the addition of Subclause 7.14.
32 Radiation, toxicity and similar hazards
p 32.101 Replace the first paragraph of the replacement by the following:
Appliances shall not present a toxic or similar hazard. Appliances having UV emitters shall not
emit radiation having a total effective irradiance exceeding 0,3 W/m weighted according to the
erythema action spectrum of Figure 101.
Appliances shall comply with the values specified in Table BB.1.
p Replace all paragraphs between Note 3 and Note 4 by the following:
Appliances shall have a total irradiance not exceeding 0,003 W/m for wavelengths between
200 nm and 280 nm and measured by a spectroradiometer between 250 nm and 280 nm.
Annex BB
p Replace "informative" by "normative".
p Delete definition BB.1.5.
– 5 – EN 60335-2-27:2003/A1:2008
BB.2 Classification
p Delete the fifth dash.
p In the Note, replace ", UV type 4 appliances and UV type 5 appliances" by "and UV type 4
appliances".
BB.3 Effective irradiance
p Replace the text and Table BB.1 by:
The effective irradiance for each type of UV appliance, weighted according to the erythema
action spectrum of Figure 101, is given in Table BB.1.
Table BB.1 – Limits of effective irradiance
UV type appliance Effective irradiance
W/m
250 nm < λ ≤ 320 nm 320 nm < λ < 400 nm
1 < 0,000 5 ≥ 0,15
2 0,000 5 to 0,15 ≥ 0,15
3 < 0,15 < 0,15
4 ≥ 0,15 < 0,15
λ is the wavelength of the radiation
