Electrically operated toothbrushes - Method for measuring performance
This document deals with the methods for measuring the performance of electrically powered toothbrushes.
This document applies to electrically powered toothbrushes used for cleaning the teeth with electric energy to drive. Rechargeable toothbrushes and primary battery powered toothbrushes, both for adult and child, are within the scope of this standard.
This standard is just to specify the measurement method but does not define any limit value.
NOTE: The electrically powered toothbrushes are classified as follows:
Classification with regard to supply modes:
- primary battery powered toothbrush
- rechargeable toothbrush
-- wireless rechargeable toothbrush
-- corded rechargeable toothbrush
Classification with regard to moving modes:
- rotary electrically powered toothbrush
- reciprocated electrically powered toothbrush
-- linear reciprocated electrically powered toothbrush
-- rotational reciprocated electrically powered toothbrush
- vibratory electrically powered toothbrush
The different types are clarified for information, since there is no difference in the tests to be done, except for the types of primary battery powered toothbrush and rechargeable toothbrush.

Brosses à dents électriques - Méthodes de mesure de l'aptitude à la fonction
L'IEC 63174:2021 s'applique aux brosses à dents électriques utilisées pour le brossage électrique des dents. Les brosses à dents rechargeables et les brosses à dents à piles, destinées aux adultes et aux enfants, relèvent du domaine d'application de la présente norme.
Le présent document décrit les méthodes d’essai pour le mesurage des paramètres d’aptitude à la fonction dont la liste figure à l’Article 4.
Le présent document a pour unique objet de spécifier la méthode de mesure applicable; il ne définit pas de valeurs limites.
Električne zobne ščetke - Metode za merjenje funkcionalnosti
Ta dokument obravnava metode za merjenje funkcionalnosti električnih zobnih ščetk.
Ta dokument se uporablja za električne zobne ščetke za umivanje zob, ki jih poganja električna energija. Zobne ščetke z možnostjo ponovnega polnjenja in zobne ščetke, ki delujejo na baterije za enkratno uporabo (za odrasle in otroke) spadajo na področje uporabe tega standarda.
Ta standard zgolj določa metodo za merjenje, vendar ne opredeljuje mejnih vrednosti.
OPOMBA: Električne zobne ščetke so razvrščene na naslednji način:
Razvrstitev glede na vrsto napajanja:
– zobna ščetka, ki deluje na baterije za enkratno uporabo
– zobna ščetka z možnostjo ponovnega polnjenja
– brezžična zobna ščetka z možnostjo ponovnega polnjenja
– zobna ščetka z možnostjo ponovnega polnjenja, ki se napaja iz omrežja
Razvrstitev glede na način premikanja glave ščetke:
– vrtljiva električna zobna ščetka
– električna zobna ščetka s povratnim premikanjem
– linearna električna zobna ščetka s povratnim premikanjem
– rotacijska električna zobna ščetka s povratnim premikanjem
– vibracijska električna zobna ščetka
Različne vrste so pojasnjene zgolj informativno, saj se preskusi, ki jih je treba opraviti, med seboj ne razlikujejo, razen pri zobnih ščetkah, ki delujejo na baterije za enkratno uporabo, in zobnih ščetkah z možnostjo ponovnega polnjenja.

ELECTRICALLY OPERATED TOOTHBRUSHES –
METHODS FOR MEASURING THE PERFORMANCE
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 63174 has been prepared by subcommittee 59L: Small household appliances, of IEC
technical committee 59: Performance of household and similar electrical appliances. It is an
International Standard.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:

This document describes the test methods for measurement of the performance parameters as
listed in Clause 4.
The purpose of this document is only to specify the measurement method; it does not define
any limit values.
NOTE The electrically operated toothbrushes are classified as follows:
Classification with regard to supply modes:
– primary battery operated toothbrush;
– rechargeable toothbrush:
• wireless rechargeable toothbrush;
• corded rechargeable toothbrush.
Classification with regard to operating modes:
– rotary electrically operated toothbrush;
– reciprocating electrically operated toothbrush:
• linear reciprocating electrically operated toothbrush;
• rotational reciprocating electrically operated toothbrush;
– vibratory electrically operated toothbrush.
The different types are explained for information only, since the tests to be carried out are identical, except for
primary battery operated toothbrushes and rechargeable toothbrushes.
