Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-52: Particular requirements for oral hygiene appliances
IEC 60335-2-52:2021 is available as IEC 60335-2-52:2021 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
IEC 60335-2-52:2021 deals with the safety of electric oral hygiene appliances for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V, including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances.
Examples of appliances that this standard is applicable to are
- oral irrigators;
- toothbrushes.
As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general, it does not take into account
- persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction;
- children playing with the appliance.
Attention is drawn to the fact that
- for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements can be necessary;
- in many countries additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour and similar authorities.
This standard does not apply to appliances for medical purposes (IEC 60601).
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2002, Amendment 1: 2008 and Amendment 2:2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) the text has been aligned with IEC 60335-1:2020;
b) some notes have been converted to normative text (Clause 1, 11.7, 22.101);
c) clarification of requirements for battery-operated appliances (Clause 1, 11.7, B.11.1);
d) application of test probe 19 has been introduced (8.1.1, 20.2);
e) the stability test has been updated to cover hand-held parts of battery-operated appliances when placed on their charging stand (20.1);
f) a drop test is introduced for hand-held parts of an appliance (21.101);
g) additional strength tests for detachable power supply parts are introduced (21.102);
h) Table B.2 and Table B.3 updated to reflect smaller cell capacities for battery-operated appliances covered by this Part 2 standard.
This Part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its amendments unless that edition precludes it; in that case, the latest edition that does not preclude it is used. It was established on the basis of the sixth edition (2020) of that standard.

Part 2-52: Particular requirements for oral hygiene appliances
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 IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
IEC 60335-2-52 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 61: Safety of household and
similar electrical appliances. It is an International Standard.This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2002, Amendment 1: 2008
and Amendment 2:2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision.This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:a) the text has been aligned with IEC 60335-1:2020;
b) some notes have been converted to normative text (Clause 1, 11.7, 22.101);
c) clarification of requirements for battery-operated appliances (Clause 1, 11.7, B.11.1);
d) application of test probe 19 has been introduced (8.1.1, 20.2);e) the stability test has been updated to cover hand-held parts of battery-operated appliances
when placed on their charging stand (20.1);---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------

61/6368/FDIS 61/6418/RVD
Full information on the voting for its approval can be found in the report on voting indicated in
the above table.The language used for the development of this International Standard is English.
This document was drafted in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, and developed in
accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Supplement, available
at www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs. The main document types developed by IEC are
described in greater detail at www.iec.ch/standardsdev/publications.A list of all parts in the IEC 60335 series, published under the general title Household and
similar electrical appliances – Safety, can be found on the IEC website.This Part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its
amendments unless that edition precludes it; in that case, the latest edition that does not
preclude it is used. It was established on the basis of the sixth edition (2020) of that standard.
NOTE 1 When ”Part 1” is mentioned in this standard, it refers to IEC 60335-1.This Part 2 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 60335-1, so as to convert
that publication into the IEC standard: Particular requirements for oral hygiene appliances.

far as is reasonable. When this standard states “addition”, “modification” or “replacement”, the
relevant text in Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.NOTE 2 The following numbering system is used:
– subclauses, tables and figures that are numbered starting from 101 are additional to those in Part 1;
– unless notes are in a new subclause or involve notes in Part 1, they are numbered starting from 101, including
those in a replaced clause or subclause;– additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc.
NOTE 3 The following print types are used:
– requirements: in roman type;
– test specifications: in italic type;
notes: in small roman type.
Words in bold in the text are defined in Clause 3. When a definition concerns an adjective, the adjective and the

INTRODUCTION
It has been assumed in the drafting of this International Standard that the execution of its
provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced persons.Guidance documents concerning the application of the safety requirements for appliances can
be accessed via TC 61 supporting documents on the IEC websitehttps://www.iec.ch/tc61/supportingdocuments
This information is given for the convenience of users of this International Standard and does
not constitute a replacement for the normative text in this standard.This standard recognizes the internationally accepted level of protection against hazards such
as electrical, mechanical, thermal, fire and radiation of appliances when operated as in normal
use taking into account the manufacturer's instructions. It also covers abnormal situations that
can be expected in practice and takes into account the way in which electromagnetic
phenomena can affect the safe operation of appliances.This standard takes into account the requirements of IEC 60364 as far as possible so that there
is compatibility with the wiring rules when the appliance is connected to the supply mains.
However, national wiring rules may differ.If an appliance within the scope of this standard also incorporates functions that are covered
by another Part 2 of IEC 60335, the relevant Part 2 is applied to each function separately, as
far as is reasonable. If applicable, the influence of one function on the other is taken into
account.When a Part 2 standard does not include additional requirements to cover hazards dealt with
in Part 1, Part 1 applies.NOTE 1 This means that the technical committees responsible for the Part 2 standards have determined that it is
not necessary to specify particular requirements for the appliance in question over and above the general
requirements.This standard is a product family standard dealing with the safety of appliances and takes
precedence over horizontal and generic standards covering the same subject.NOTE 2 Horizontal publications, basic safety publications and group safety publications covering a hazard are not
applicable since they have been taken into consideration when developing the general and particular requirements
for the IEC 60335 series of standards.An appliance that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be considered to
comply with the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to
have other features that impair the level of safety covered by these requirements.
An appliance employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed
in the requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of the
requirements and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be considered to comply with the
standard.NOTE 3 Standards dealing with non-safety aspects of household appliances are:
– IEC standards published by TC 59 concerning methods of measuring performance;
– CISPR 11, CISPR 14-1 and relevant IEC 61000-3 series standards concerning electromagnetic emissions;
– CISPR 14-2 concerning electromagnetic immunity;– IEC standards published by TC 111 concerning environmental matters.

10 Power input and current
This clause of Part 1 is applicable.
11 Heating
This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows.
11.3 Addition:
Where the external accessible surfaces are suitably flat and access permits, then the test
probe of Figure 101 is used to measure the temperature rises of external accessible surfaces
specified in Table 101. The probe is applied with a force of 4 N ± 1 N to the surface in such a
way that the best possible contact between the probe and the surface is ensured. The
measurement is performed after a contact period of 30 s.The probe may be held in place using a laboratory stand clamp or similar device. Any measuring
instrument giving the same results as the probe may be used.11.7 Modification:
Appliances are operated for five cycles, each cycle comprising an operating period of 3 min and
a rest period of 1 min. During the rest period, the reservoir of oral irrigators is refilled. If the
reservoir empties during the operating period, it is refilled and the test is continued.
For appliances incorporating integral batteries or separable batteries not disconnected from
the appliance for charging purposes:– the battery that has been fully discharged is charged for 1 h, while the appliance is
operated as specified, if allowed by the construction of the appliance;– the battery that has been fully discharged is charged, for a duration of 24 h or until it is
fully charged whichever is shorter, without the battery-operated appliance performing its
intended function.11.8 Modification:
During the test, the temperature rises are monitored continuously and shall not exceed the
values shown in Table 3 and Table 101.---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
