Overview

EN 60335-2-52:2003/A13:2023 is a CENELEC amendment that updates the European safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances used for oral hygiene. It applies to appliances with rated voltages up to 250 V for single-phase supplies and up to 480 V for other systems. This amendment (A13, published 2023) supplements EN 60335-2-52:2003 and aligns the particular requirements for oral hygiene appliances with the latest Part 1 (EN 60335-1) updates and related normative references.

Key administrative dates:

• Latest date for national implementation by publication/endorsement (dop): 2023-12-02
• Latest date to withdraw conflicting national standards (dow): 2026-06-02

Key topics and requirements

This amendment focuses on clarifying and updating the safety framework for oral hygiene appliances. Main technical areas addressed include:

• Scope and applicability for oral hygiene devices (rated voltages and appliance types)
• Terminology updates, including a revised definition of “normal operation”
• Harmonization with EN 60335-1 and other Part 2 amendments to ensure consistent safety expectations across household appliances
• Updates to normative references, notably the addition of IEC 60584-1 (thermocouples EMF specifications and tolerances)

While the full EN 60335 family defines the detailed tests and limits, this amendment ensures that Part 2-52’s particular requirements reflect current Part 1 provisions and referenced international publications.

Practical applications

Manufacturers and stakeholders use EN 60335-2-52:2003/A13:2023 to:

• Design and validate safe electric oral hygiene products (e.g., electrical toothbrushes, oral irrigators)
• Prepare technical documentation and perform risk assessments required for CE marking and market access in CENELEC member countries
• Update product safety files, user instructions and service guidance to reflect the latest normative language and references
• Guide conformity and type testing in accredited test laboratories

Who should use this standard

• Appliance design and R&D teams
• Compliance and regulatory affairs specialists
• Product safety engineers and risk assessors
• Testing laboratories and certification bodies
• Standardization and technical documentation authors

Related standards

• EN 60335-1 (Household appliance general requirements) - this amendment references multiple Part 1 updates
• IEC 60584-1 (Thermocouples) - added in normative references

For implementation, consult the full EN 60335-2-52:2003/A13:2023 text and national standards body guidance to ensure complete compliance and to identify any country-specific transpositions.
