Part 2-27: Particular requirements for appliances

for skin exposure to ultraviolet and infrared radiation

FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the 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, the IEC publishes International Standards. 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. The 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 the 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 National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This part of International Standard IEC 60335 has been prepared by IEC technical committee
61: Safety of household and similar electrical appliances.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 1995 and its
amendment 1 (2000). It constitutes a technical revision.
The text of this part of IEC 60335 is based on the following documents:

FDIS Report on voting
61/2181/FDIS 61/2262/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its
amendments. It was established on the basis of the fourth edition (2001) 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: Safety requirements for electric appliances for
skin exposure to ultraviolet and infrared radiation.

60335-2-27 © IEC:2002(E) – 5 –

When a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this part 2, that subclause applies

as 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
associated noun are also in bold.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
2004. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed;
• withdrawn;
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
The following differences exist in the countries indicated below.
– 7.1: The markings are different (USA).
– 10.1: The deviations are different (USA).
– 10.2: The deviations are different (USA).
– 19.101: The test is different (USA).
– 20.1: The test is carried out at an angle of 8° (USA).
– Clause 22: Series resistors are to be incorporated in some UV emitters (Australia).
– 22.107: The requirement is not applicable (USA).
– 22.108: The maximum timer setting is shorter (USA).

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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

– playing with the appliance by young children.
NOTE 101 Attention is drawn to the fact that
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements may 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;
– IEC 60598-1 is applicable as far as is reasonable.
NOTE 102 This standard does not apply to
– appliances for medical purposes;
– appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a

Part 2-27: Particular requirements for appliances

for skin exposure to ultraviolet and infrared radiation

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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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.

This part of International Standard IEC 60335 has been prepared by IEC technical committee
61: Safety of household and similar electrical appliances.

INTRODUCTION
Il a été considéré en établissant la présente norme internationale que l'exécution de ses

dispositions était confiée à des personnes expérimentées et ayant une qualification

appropriée.
Cette norme reconnaît le niveau de protection internationalement accepté contre les risques

électriques, mécaniques, thermiques, liés au feu et au rayonnement des appareils, lorsqu'ils

fonctionnent comme en usage normal en tenant compte des instructions du fabricant. Elle

couvre également les situations anormales auxquelles on peut s'attendre dans la pratique.

Cette norme tient compte autant que possible des prescriptions de la CEI 60364, de façon à
rester compatible avec les règles d'installation quand l’appareil est raccordé au réseau
d’alimentation. Cependant, des règles nationales d'installation peuvent être différentes.
Si un appareil compris dans le domaine d’application de cette norme comporte également des
fonctions qui sont couvertes par une autre partie 2 de la CEI 60335, la partie 2
correspondante est appliquée à chaque fonction séparément, dans la limite du raisonnable. Si
cela est applicable, on tient compte de l’influence d’une fonction sur les autres fonctions.
Cette norme est une norme de famille de produits traitant de la sécurité d’appareils et prévaut
sur les normes horizontales et génériques couvrant le même sujet.
Un appareil conforme au texte de la présente norme ne sera pas nécessairement jugé
conforme aux principes de sécurité de la norme si, lorsqu'il est examiné et soumis aux essais,
il apparaît qu'il présente d'autres caractéristiques qui compromettent le niveau de sécurité
visé par ces prescriptions.
Un appareil utilisant des matériaux ou présentant des modes de construction différents de
ceux décrits dans les prescriptions de cette norme peut être examiné et essayé en fonction
de l'objectif poursuivi par ces prescriptions et, s'il est jugé pratiquement équivalent, il peut
être estimé conforme aux principes de sécurité de la norme.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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.

This part of International Standard IEC 60335 has been prepared by IEC technical committee
61: Safety of household and similar electrical appliances.
This consolidated version of IEC 60335-2-27 is based on the fourth edition (2002) [documents
61/2181/FDIS and 61/2262/RVD] and its amendment 1 (2004) [documents 61/2688/FDIS and

INTRODUCTION
Il a été considéré en établissant la présente norme internationale que l'exécution de ses

dispositions était confiée à des personnes expérimentées et ayant une qualification

appropriée.
Cette norme reconnaît le niveau de protection internationalement accepté contre les risques

électriques, mécaniques, thermiques, liés au feu et au rayonnement des appareils, lorsqu'ils

fonctionnent comme en usage normal en tenant compte des instructions du fabricant. Elle
couvre également les situations anormales auxquelles on peut s'attendre dans la pratique et
prend en considération les phénomènes électromagnétiques qui peuvent affecter le

fonctionnement en toute sécurité des appareils.

Cette norme tient compte autant que possible des prescriptions de la CEI 60364, de façon à
rester compatible avec les règles d'installation quand l’appareil est raccordé au réseau
d’alimentation. Cependant, des règles nationales d'installation peuvent être différentes.
Si un appareil compris dans le domaine d’application de cette norme comporte également des
fonctions qui sont couvertes par une autre partie 2 de la CEI 60335, la partie 2
correspondante est appliquée à chaque fonction séparément, dans la limite du raisonnable. Si
cela est applicable, on tient compte de l’influence d’une fonction sur les autres fonctions.
Cette norme est une norme de famille de produits traitant de la sécurité d’appareils et prévaut
sur les normes horizontales et génériques couvrant le même sujet.
Un appareil conforme au texte de la présente norme ne sera pas nécessairement jugé
conforme aux principes de sécurité de la norme si, lorsqu'il est examiné et soumis aux essais,
il apparaît qu'il présente d'autres caractéristiques qui compromettent le niveau de sécurité
visé par ces prescriptions.
Un appareil utilisant des matériaux ou présentant des modes de construction différents de
ceux décrits dans les prescriptions de cette norme peut être examiné et essayé en fonction
de l'objectif poursuivi par ces prescriptions et, s'il est jugé pratiquement équivalent, il peut
être estimé conforme aux principes de sécurité de la norme.

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.

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 tak ing into account the manufacturer's instructions. It also covers abnormal

situations that can be e xpected 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.
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.
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.

Part 2-27: Particular requirements for appliances

for skin exposure to ultraviolet and infrared radiation

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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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.

This part of International Standard IEC 60335 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 61:
Safety of household and similar electrical appliances.
This consolidated version of IEC 60335-2-27 consists of the fourth edition (2002) [documents
61/2181/FDIS and 61/2262/RVD], its amendment 1 (2004) [documents 61/2688/FDIS and
61/2720/RVD] and its amendment 2 (2007) [documents 61/3225/FDIS and 61/3242/RVD].
The technical content is therefore identical to the base edition and its amendment(s) and has
been prepared for user convenience.

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
associated noun are also in bold.
The following differences exist in the countries indicated below.
– 7.1: The markings are different (USA).
– 10.1: The deviations are different (USA).
– 10.2: The deviations are different (USA).
– 19.101: The test is different (USA).

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.

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 and generic standards 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. For
example, in the case of temperature requirements for surfaces on many appliances, generic standards, such as
ISO 13732-1 for hot surfaces, are not applicable in addition to Part 1 or part 2 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.

for skin exposure to ultraviolet and infrared radiation

1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This International Standard deals with the safety of electrical appliances incorporating
emitters for exposing the skin to ultraviolet or infrared radiation, for household and similar
use, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for
other appliances.
Appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless may be a source of
danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used in tanning salons, beauty
parlours and similar premises, are also within the scope of this standard.
As far as 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.
NOTE 101 Attention is drawn to the fact that
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements may 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;
– IEC 60598-1 is applicable as far as is reasonable.
NOTE 102 This standard does not apply to

– appliances for medical purposes;
– appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a
corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas).

+A2:2007
The instructions for appliances having UV emitters shall contain the substance of the
following information and precautions:

– ultraviolet radiation from the sun or from UV appliances can cause skin or eye damage

that may be irreversible. These biological effects depend upon the quality and quantity of

the radiation as well as the skin sensitivity of the individual;

– the skin may develop sunburn after overexposure. Excessively repeated exposures to

ultraviolet radiation from the sun or from UV appliances may lead to premature ageing of

the skin as well as increased risk of development of skin tumours. These risks increase

with increasing cumulative UV exposure. Exposure at an early age increases the risk of

skin damage later in life;
– the unprotected eye may develop surface inflammation and in some cases damage may
occur to the retina after excessive exposure. Cataracts may develop after many repeated
exposures;
– in cases of pronounced individual sensitivity or allergic reaction to ultraviolet radiation,
medical advice is recommended before starting exposure;
– the following precautions must be taken:
• always use the protective goggles provided. Contact lenses and sun glasses are not a
substitute for goggles;
• remove cosmetics well in advance of exposure and do not use any sunscreens or
products that accelerate tanning;
• certain medical conditions or side effects of certain medicines may be aggravated by
ultraviolet exposure. In case of doubt, seek medical advice;
• allow at least 48 h between the first two exposures;
• do not sunbathe and use the appliance on the same day;
• follow the recommendations concerning exposure durations, exposure intervals and
distances from the lamp;
• seek medical advice if persistent lumps or sores appear on the skin or if there are
changes in pigmented moles;
• protect sensitive skin parts such as scars, tattoos and genitals from exposure.
For appliances having a lid that has to be opened in normal use, the instructions shall include
a warning that the appliance must not be switched on with the lid in the closed position and
that, before closing the lid for storage, the appliance must be disconnected from the supply
and allowed to cool down.
NOTE 103 This warning is not required if the appliance complies with the tests of 19.2 and 19.3.
The instructions for appliances having IR emitters shall include advice for the protection of

the eyes against exposure to infrared radiation and advise that adequate precautions must be
taken to safeguard the user against the dangers of excessive exposure.
If the “Not for household use” symbol is used, its meaning shall be explained.
7.14 Addition:
The height of the “not for household use” symbol shall be at least 10 mm.
Compliance is checked by measurement.
