(Main)Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-27: Particular requirements for appliances for skin exposure to optical radiation
Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-27: Particular requirements for appliances for skin exposure to optical radiation
IEC 60335-2-27:2019 deals with the safety of electrical appliances incorporating emitters for exposing the skin to optical radiation (wavelength 100 nm to 1 mm), for household and similar use, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances.
Battery-operated appliances and other DC supplied appliances are within the scope of this standard. Dual supply appliances, either mains-supplied or battery-operated, are regarded as battery-operated appliances when operated in the battery mode.
As far as practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons using the appliances in tanning salons, beauty parlours and similar premises or at 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;
– IEC 60598-1 is applicable as far as is reasonable.
This standard does not apply to
– appliances for skin or hair care (IEC 60335-2-23);
– sauna heating appliances and infrared cabins (IEC 60335-2-53);
– cosmetic and beauty care appliances incorporating lasers and intense light sources (IEC 60335-2-113)
– appliances for medical purposes (IEC 60601);
– appliances that use UV radiation for purposes other than tanning the skin;
– 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).
This sixth edition cancels and replaces the fifth edition published in 2009, Amendment 1:2012 and Amendment 2:2015. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
– aligns the text with IEC 60335-1, Ed 5, and its Amendments 1 and 2;
– luminous transmission has been defined (3.1.102);
– requirements for testing parts of the appliance that are operated unattended are added (30.2).
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 fifth edition (2010) of that standard.

Appareils électrodomestiques et analogues - Sécurité - Partie 2-27: Exigences particulières pour les appareils d'exposition de la peau aux rayonnements optiques
L'IEC 60335-2-27:2019 traite de la sécurité des appareils électriques comportant des émetteurs pour l'exposition de la peau aux rayonnements optiques (longueur d'onde de 100 nm à 1 mm), destinés à des usages domestiques et analogues, dont la tension assignée n'est pas supérieure à 250 V pour les appareils monophasés et à 480 V pour les autres appareils.
Les appareils alimentés par batteries et autres appareils alimentés en courant continu relèvent du domaine d'application de la présente norme. Les appareils à double alimentation, fonctionnant sur secteur ou sur batterie, sont vus comme des appareils alimentés par batteries lorsqu'ils fonctionnent sur batterie.
Dans la mesure du possible, la présente norme traite des dangers ordinaires présentés par les appareils, encourus par toutes les personnes qui utilisent les appareils dans les solariums, salons de beauté et locaux analogues ou à domicile. Cependant, la présente norme ne tient pas compte en général:
– des personnes (y compris des enfants) dont les capacités physiques, sensorielles ou mentales ou le manque d'expérience et de connaissances les empêchent d'utiliser l'appareil en toute sécurité sans surveillance ou instruction;
– de l'utilisation de l'appareil comme jouet par des enfants.
L'attention est attirée sur le fait que:
– pour les appareils destinés à être utilisés dans des véhicules ou à bord de navires ou d'avions, des exigences supplémentaires peuvent être nécessaires;
– dans de nombreux pays, des exigences supplémentaires sont spécifiées par les autorités sanitaires nationales, les organismes nationaux en charge de la protection des travailleurs et les organismes analogues;
– l'IEC 60598-1 s'applique dans la limite du raisonnable.
La présente norme ne s'applique pas:
– aux appareils destinés aux soins de la peau ou des cheveux (IEC 60335-2-23);
– aux appareils de sauna chauffants et aux cabines infrarouges (IEC 60335-2-53);
– aux appareils cosmétiques et aux appareils de soins de beauté, y compris les lasers et les sources de lumière de forte intensité (IEC 60335-2-113);
– aux appareils à but médical (IEC 60601);
– aux appareils utilisant un rayonnement UV pour d'autres besoins que le bronzage de la peau;
– aux appareils destinés à être utilisés dans des locaux présentant des conditions particulières, telles que la présence d'une atmosphère corrosive ou explosive (poussière, vapeur ou gaz). Cette sixième édition annule et remplace la cinquième édition parue en 2009, l'Amendement 1:2012 et l'Amendement 2:2015. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
– mise en correspondance du texte avec l'IEC 60335-1, Ed 5, et ses Amendements 1 et 2;
– définition de la transmission lumineuse (3.1.102);
– ajout des exigences relatives aux parties de l'appareil soumises aux essais et fonctionnant de manière autonome (30.2).
La présente partie 2 doit être utilisée conjointement avec la dernière édition de l'IEC 60335-1 et ses amendements. Elle a été établie sur la base de la cinquième édition (2010) de cette norme.

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
