Overview
EN 60335-2-8:2015/A12:2022 is a CENELEC amendment to the European safety standard for household and similar electrical appliances - specifically particular requirements for shavers, hair clippers and similar appliances. This amendment (A12) updates the 2015 Part 2-8 document and was approved by CENELEC; national implementation deadlines were set (dop 2023-05-18, dow 2025-11-18). The standard applies to domestic shavers, hair clippers and analogous appliances (note text now explicitly references animal clippers and epilators in scope clarifications).
Key topics and technical requirements
The amendment focuses on targeted changes to existing clauses rather than introducing wholly new technical regimes. Major areas modified include:
- Scope - clarifications and deletions in notes, extending explicit reference to animal clippers and epilators where applicable.
- Markings and instructions (Clause 7) - edits to user information and marking requirements to align with safety expectations.
- Construction (Clause 22) - modifications addressing the design of controls and devices (e.g., how devices that stop operation are to be distinguished by shape/size/texture/position).
- Annexes (Annex ZA) - updates related to acoustical noise measurement and mounting/installation conditions, including deletion of a specific figure (ZAA.102) and related text.
- Harmonization notes: the amendment supplements or modifies relevant clauses in EN 60335-1 and earlier Part 2-8 amendments.
No new technical limits or test values are invented here; the amendment adjusts wording, instructions, construction criteria and test / measurement provisions to improve clarity and conformity.
Practical applications and users
This standard is directly useful for:
- Manufacturers and product designers of shavers, hair clippers, epilators and similar domestic appliances - for safe design, labeling and instruction requirements.
- Testing laboratories and conformity assessors - to update test programs, mark-up checks and noise measurement setups according to amended annex provisions.
- Regulatory and certification bodies responsible for CE marking and national adoption of CENELEC standards.
- Safety engineers and compliance officers managing technical files, user manuals and risk assessments.
Practical uses include product development, compliance testing, preparation of user instructions and manufacturer declarations, and ensuring national regulatory alignment.
