Overview
EN 60335-2-23:2003/A12:2016 (CLC) is a European safety standard that sets particular requirements for electrical appliances for skin or hair care intended for household and similar use. It applies to mains-powered appliances with a rated voltage of not more than 250 V and addresses hazards specific to devices used on people or animals (e.g., hair dryers, electric shavers, trimmers, epilators, facial care devices).
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and applicability
- Covers safety requirements for electric appliances for the care of skin or hair of persons or animals for household/similar use (rated voltage ≤ 250 V).
- Marking and instructions (Clause 7 additions)
- Requires a permanent label attached to the supply cord near the plug, with marking IEC 60417-5582 combined with the prohibition sign of ISO 3864-1 and ISO 7000-0790 on both sides.
- Label background: white; symbols in their defined colours.
- Label size: minimum 50 × 50 mm.
- Symbol sizes: combined IEC 60417-5582 marking at least 30 mm; ISO 7000-0790 symbol at least 15 mm. Circle diameter superimposed on IEC 60417-5582 must be at least 10 mm.
- Durability test for the tag
- The supply cord with attached plug is held taut; a downward force of 22.2 N is applied for 1 minute to the uppermost corner of the tag.
- Acceptance criteria after the test:
- Tag shall not tear for more than 1.6 mm.
- Tag shall not separate from the power supply cord.
- Tag shall not slip or move along the cord by more than 12.7 mm.
- Standards referenced
- Integration with international symbol standards (IEC 60417, ISO 3864-1, ISO 7000) and connection to the EN 60335 series and EU directives (see Annex ZC in the full standard).
Practical applications and who uses it
- Manufacturers and designers of hair and skin care appliances use this standard to design safer products and ensure compliance with EU safety requirements.
- Test laboratories and conformity assessors implement the specified marking, durability and inspection tests during product certification.
- Regulatory authorities and notified bodies reference EN 60335-2-23 when evaluating market compliance and enforcement actions.
- Importers, distributors and compliance teams rely on these requirements to prepare technical documentation and user instructions for CE marking.
Related standards
- EN 60335-1 (general requirements for household electrical appliances) - the normative base for Part 2 standards
- IEC 60417, ISO 3864-1, ISO 7000 - symbol and graphical safety sign standards referenced for marking
This standard is essential for ensuring safe design, labeling and durability of cord-attached warnings on household skin and hair care appliances and for demonstrating conformity with applicable EU safety directives.
