Annotation of standard text IEC 60335-2-8-ed.7.0 :
IEC 60335-2-8:2022 deals with the safety of electric shavers, hair clippers, epilators, appliances used for manicure and pedicure and similar appliances intended for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V, including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances. Appliances not intended for normal household use, but which nevertheless possibly pose a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops and on farms, are within the scope of this standard. Examples of such appliances are animal shearers. As far as is 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. 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 national health authorities, national authorities responsible for the protection of labour and similar authorities. This standard does not apply to – 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); – massage appliances (IEC 60335-2-32); – beauty care appliances incorporating lasers and intense light sources (IEC 60335-2-113); – skin beauty care appliances (IEC 60335-2-115); – appliances for medical purposes (IEC 60601). This seventh edition cancels and replaces the sixth edition published in 2012, Amendment 1:2015 and Amendment 2:2018. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) alignment with IEC 60335-1:2020; b) conversion of some notes to normative text (Clause 1, 3.1.9, 19.10, 20.1, 22.103); c) clarification of holding the appliance with negligible effect on normal operation (3.1.9); d) addition of requirements for detachable power supply parts (6.2, 21.102, 21.103, 24.2); e) allowance to waive instructions relating to hot blades on animal shearers and commercial animal clippers based on temperatures measured in Clause 11 (7.12); f) clarification and consolidation of requirements in 22.26 and 22.36; g) clarification of applicability of 30.2.2 and 30.2.3; h) clarification of requirements for interconnection cords for class III constructions. This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its amendments unless that edition precludes it; in that case, the latest edition that does not preclude it is used. It was established on the basis of the sixth edition (2020) of that standard. LIEC 60335-2-8:2022 traite de la securite des rasoirs, tondeuses, epilateurs, appareils de manucure et de pedicure electriques et autres appareils analogues, destines a un usage domestique et analogue, dont la tension assignee est inferieure ou egale a 250 V, y compris les appareils alimentes en courant continu et les appareils alimentes par batteries. Les appareils non destines a un usage domestique normal, mais qui peuvent neanmoins constituer une source de danger pour le public, tels que les appareils destines a etre utilises par des usagers non avertis dans des magasins et des fermes, sont compris dans le domaine dapplication de la presente norme. Les tondeuses pour betail sont des exemples de tels appareils. Dans la mesure du possible, la presente norme traite des dangers courants que presentent les appareils et auxquels sont exposes tous les individus situes a linterieur et autour de lhabitation. Cependant, elle ne tient en general pas compte – des personnes (y compris des enfants) dont les capacites physiques, sensorielles ou mentales; ou le manque dexperience et de connaissance les empechent dutiliser lappareil en toute securite sans surveillance ou instruction; – des enfants qui jouent avec lappareil. Lattention est attiree sur le fait que – pour les appareils destines a etre utilises dans des vehicules ou a bord de navires ou davions, des exigences supplementaires peuvent etre necessaires; – dans de nombreux pays, des exigences supplementaires sont specifiees par les organismes nationaux de la sante, par les organismes nationaux responsables de la protection des travailleurs et par des organismes similaires. La presente norme ne sapplique pas – aux appareils destines a etre utilises dans des locaux qui presentent des conditions particulieres, telles que la presence dune atmosphere corrosive ou explosive (poussiere, vapeur ou gaz); – aux appareils de massage (IEC 60335-2-32); – aux appareils destines aux soins esthetiques comportant des lasers et des sources de lumiere de forte intensite (IEC 60335-2-113); – aux appareils destines aux soins esthetiques de la peau (IEC 60335-2-115); – aux appareils destines a des usages medicaux (IEC 60601). Cette septieme edition annule et remplace la sixieme edition parue en 2012, lAmendement 1:2015 et lAmendement 2:2018. Cette edition constitue une revision technique. Cette edition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport a ledition precedente: a) le texte a ete aligne sur lIEC 60335-1:2020; b) certaines notes ont ete converties en texte normatif (Article 1, 3.1.9, 19.10, 20.1, 22.103); c) la procedure visant a maintenir lappareil sans influencer le fonctionnement normal de maniere significative a ete explicitee (3.1.9); d) des exigences ont ete ajoutees pour les parties dalimentation amovibles (6.2, 21.102, 21.103, 24.2); e) lexemption des instructions relatives a lechauffement des lames chaudes sur les tondeuses pour be
