Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety -- Part 2-27: Particular requirements for appliances for skin exposure to ultraviolet and infrared radiation

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 persons using the UV 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.

Appareils électrodomestiques et analogues - Sécurité -- Partie 2-27: Règles particulières pour les appareils d'exposition de la peau aux rayonnements ultraviolets et infrarouges

L'IEC 60335-2-27:2009 traite de la sécurité des appareils électriques comportant des émetteurs pour l'exposition de la peau aux rayonnements ultraviolets ou infrarouges 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 non destinés à un usage domestique normal mais qui néanmoins peuvent constituer une source de danger pour le public, tels que les appareils destinés à être utilisés dans les solariums, les salons de beauté et les locaux analogues, sont également compris dans le domaine d'application de la présente norme. Les principales modifications de cette édition par rapport à la quatrième édition de l'IEC 60335-2-27 sont les suivantes (les modifications mineures ne sont pas énumérées):
- clarification du mode opératoire de mesure de rayonnement (32.101);
- lignes directrices du programme de durée d'exposition (Annexe DD).
L'attention des Comités Nationaux est attirée sur le fait que les fabricants d'appareils et les organismes d'essai peuvent avoir besoin d'une période transitoire après la publication d'une nouvelle publication IEC, ou d'une publication amendée ou révisée, pour fabriquer des produits conformes aux nouvelles exigences et pour adapter leurs équipements aux nouveaux essais ou aux essais révisés.
Le comité recommande que le contenu de cette publication soit entériné au niveau national au plus tôt 12 mois ou au plus tard 36 mois après la date de publication. Cette publication doit être utilisée conjointement avec l'IEC 60335-1:2006

Gospodinjski in podobni električni aparati - Varnost - 2-27. del: Posebne zahteve za aparate za nego kože z ultravijoličnim in infrardečim sevanjem

Ta mednarodni standard obravnava varnost električnih aparatov za uporabo v gospodinjstvih in podobne vrste uporabe, ki so opremljeni z oddajniki za izpostavljanje kože ultravijoličnemu ali infrardečemu sevanju, pri čemer njihova nazivna napetost ne presega 250 V za enofazne naprave in 480 V za druge naprave. Področje uporabe tega standarda zajema tudi naprave, ki niso namenjene običajni uporabi v gospodinjstvih, vendar lahko kljub temu pomenijo nevarnost za ljudi, kot so naprave, ki se uporabljajo v solarijih, kozmetičnih salonih in podobno. Ta standard v največji možni meri obravnava splošne nevarnosti, ki jih predstavljajo naprave ter s katerimi se srečujejo osebe, ki uporabljajo UV naprave v solarijih, kozmetičnih salonih in podobno ali doma. Vendar na splošno ne upošteva: – oseb (vključno z otroki), ki zaradi – fizičnih, čutilnih ali duševnih zmožnosti ali – neizkušenosti in neznanja aparata ne morejo varno uporabljati brez nadzora ali navodil; – otrok, ki se igrajo z aparatom.

The text of the International Standard IEC 60335-2-27:2009 was approved by CENELEC as a
European Standard with the following agreed common modifications:
COMMON MODIFICATIONS
Introduction
Add after the second paragraph:
This standard covers appliances used for intentional tanning. Irradiance limit values are not to be used
as safety guidelines for non-intentional UV-exposure.
Add after the seventh paragraph:
An investigation by CENELEC TC 61 has shown that all risks from products within the scope of this
standard are fully covered by the Low Voltage Directive, 2006/95/EC. For products having
mechanical moving parts, a risk assessment in accordance with the Machinery Directive,
2006/42/EC, has shown that the risks are mainly of electrical origin and consequently this directive
is not applicable. However, the relevant essential safety requirements of the Machinery Directive
are covered by this standard together with the principal objectives of the Low Voltage Directive.

Replace 6.101 by:
6.Z101 Appliances shall be one of the following types with respect to the type of ultraviolet
radiation:
– UV type 1 appliance;
– UV type 2 appliance;
– UV type 3 appliance;
– UV type 4 appliance.
Compliance is checked by inspection and by the relevant tests.
NOTE UV type 1 appliances and UV type 2 appliances are intended to be used in tanning salons, beauty parlours and similar
premises, under supervision of appropriately trained persons.
UV type 3 appliances are suitable for household and similar use and may be used by unskilled persons. They are also suitable for use
in tanning salons, beauty parlours and similar premises UV type 4 appliances are only to be used following medical advice and only
intended to be used in tanning salons, beauty parlours and similar premises, under supervision of appropriately trained
persons, and not for household use

NOTE An example of the equivalency code range calculation is as follows.
If the equivalency code of the lamp fitted in the appliance during type testing is
100–R–25/2,7
the equivalency code range that must be marked on the appliance is calculated as follows:
lower value of X range: 0,75 × 25 = 18,75
lower value of Y range: 0,85 × 2,7 = 2,29
upper value of Y range: 1,15 × 2,7 = 3,10
X is to be rounded to the nearest integer, Y is to be rounded to the nearest first decimal.

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 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.
International Standard IEC 60335-2-27 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 61:
Safety of household and similar electrical appliances.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2002, its Amendment 1
(2004) and Amendment 2 (2007). It constitutes a technical revision.
The principal changes in this edition as compared with the fourth edition of IEC 60335-2-27
are as follows (minor changes are not listed):
– clarification of the radiation measurement procedure (32.101);
– guidelines for an exposure time schedule (Annex DD).

The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
61/3911/FDIS 61/3969/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 publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 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 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 appliances for skin
exposure to ultraviolet and infrared radiation.
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 the base publication and its amendments will
remain unchanged until the maintenance result date 0F indicated on the IEC web site under
"http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the
publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
