Annex ZE has also to be applied for the verification of compliance of the relevant product to the EHSR of the Directive 2006/42/EC This is achieved by complying with the requirements of prAX of EN 60335-1 and this standard, when this standard is also listed in the OJ under the Directive

Replacement of the addition:

Annex ZE deals with additional requirements concerning appliances and machines with motorised partsintended to be used by expert or trained users in shops, in hairdressers, in light industry, on farms and appliances and machines which are declared to be for commercial use by lay persons

The statement from the manufacturer in the product information concerning the specific product is the criterion that has to be considered to determine the intended use of the appliance The statement shall accurately reflect the reasonably foreseeable use of the product

Products covered by this standard do not create a noise hazard, therefore no specific provisions concerning noise are given

INTRODUCTION

It has been assumed in the drafting of this International Standard that the execution of its provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced persons

This standard recognizes the internationally accepted level of protection against hazards such

as electrical, mechanical, thermal, fire and radiation of appliances when operated as in normal use taking into account the manufacturer's instructions It also covers abnormal situations that can be expected in practice and takes into account the way in which electromagnetic phenomena can affect the safe operation of appliances

This standard takes into account the requirements of IEC 60364 as far as possible so that there is compatibility with the wiring rules when the appliance is connected to the supply mains However, national wiring rules may differ

If an appliance within the scope of this standard also incorporates functions that are covered far as is reasonable If applicable, the influence of one function on the other is taken into account

An appliance that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be considered to comply with the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to have other features that impair the level of safety covered by these requirements

An appliance employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed

in the requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of the requirements and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be considered to comply with the standard

in Part 1, Part 1 applies

by another Part 2 of IEC 60335, the relevant Part 2 is applied to each function separately, as

for skin or hair care

1 Scope

This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following

This International Standard deals with the safety of electric appliances for the care of skin orhair of persons or animals and intended for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V.

NOTE 101 Examples of appliances that are within the scope of this standard are – curling combs;

NOTE 102 Appliances covered by this standard may incorporate steam-producing or spray-producing devices.

Appliances not intended for normal household use but that nevertheless may be a source ofdanger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops, in lightindustry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard

NOTE 103 Examples are appliances for use in hairdressing salons.

NOTE 104 Attention is drawn to the fact that – for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements may 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.

NOTE 105 This standard does not apply to – appliances intended exclusively for industrial purposes;

– 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);

– shavers, hair clippers and similar appliances (IEC 60335-2-8);

– UV and IR radiation appliances (IEC 60335-2-27);

– sauna heating appliances (IEC 60335-2-53);

– appliances intended for medical purposes (IEC 60601).

– blankets, pads, clothing and similar flexible heating appliances (IEC 60335-2-17);

As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons in household and similar environments

However, in general, it does not take into account:

– children playing with the appliance,

– the use of the appliance by very young children

– the use of the appliance by young children without supervision,

– user maintenance by children, including the necessary cleaning of the appliance

It is recognized that very vulnerable people may have needs beyond the level addressed in this

Replace the last paragraph:

The principle objectives of Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC, are covered in this standard The Essential Health and Safety Requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, which can be applicable to some appliances, covered by this part have also been taken into account

Replacement This clause of Part 1 and of EN 60335-2-23 is replaced with the following:

This European Standard deals with the safety of electric appliances for the care of skin or hair of persons or animals, the rated voltage of the appliance being not more than 250 V

NOTE Z101 Examples of appliances that are within the scope of this standard are

Appliances and machines intended to be used in household, commercial applications, in shops, by hairdressers,

in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard

Additional requirements for appliances and machines with motorised parts intended for commercial use are given in Annex ZE

NOTE Z103 Examples of appliance for household environment are appliances for typical housekeeping functions used in the household environment and appliances for typical housekeeping functions used by non-expert users:

- in shops, offices and other similar working environments

- in farm houses;

- by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments;

- in bed and breakfast type environments;

- hair and hand dryers used by clients in swimming pools areas, toilets in petrol service stations, railways stations, airports and similar

As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons in household and similar environments

However, in general, it does not take into account:

– children playing with the appliance,

– the use of the appliance by very young children

– the use of the appliance by young children without supervision,

– user maintenance by children, including the necessary cleaning of the appliance
