Overview
EN IEC 60335-2-115:2023/A11:2023 is a European standard developed by CLC (CENELEC) that outlines safety requirements for electrical appliances used in skin beauty care. This standard amends and supplements EN IEC 60335-2-115:2023, targeting both household and similar electrical appliances intended for personal skin beauty treatment, whether for domestic, commercial, or analogous applications, with rated voltages not exceeding 250 V.
Safety in household and professional electrical equipment is critical, especially for devices coming into direct contact with human skin. This standard ensures that manufacturers, providers, and users of skin beauty care appliances adhere to strict safety protocols to minimize risks and provide clear instructions on installation, use, and maintenance.
