IS 302 : Part 2 : Sec 8 : 2024/IEC 60335-2-8 : 2022 Household and Similar Electrical Appliances - Safety - Part 2 Particular Requirements - Section 8 Shavers, Hair Clippers and Similar Appliances
| ICS 13.120; 97.170 | ETD 32 |
NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 2/Sec 8) (First Revision) which is identical to IEC 60335-2-8 : 2022 'Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-8: Particular requirements for shavers, hair clippers and similar Appliances' issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Electrical Appliances Sectional Committee and approval of the Electrotechnical Division Council.
This standard was first published in 1994. This revision has been brought out to harmonize with the latest version of IEC 60335-2-8.
This standard covers the safety requirements of electric shavers, hair clippers and similar appliances. This standard does not cover the performance requirements, which is covered under a separate standard (see IS 5159 'Specification for mains-operated electric shavers').
This Part 2 is to be used in conjunction with IS 302 (Part 1) : 2024 'Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety: Part 1 General requirements (seventh revision)'.
NOTE - When 'Part 1' is mentioned in this standard, it refers to IS 302 (Part 1).
This standard supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IS 302 (Part 1), so as to convert that publication into the Indian standard: Safety requirements for shavers, hair clippers and similar appliances.
When a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this standard, that subclause applies as far as is reasonable. When this standard states 'addition', 'modification' or 'replacement', the relevant text in Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.
NOTES
1 The following numbering system is used:
a) Subclauses, tables and figures that are numbered starting from 101 are additional to those in Part 1;
b) Unless notes are in a new subclause or involve notes in Part 1, they are numbered starting from 101, including those in a replaced clause or subclause; and
c) Additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc.
2 The following print types are used:
a) Requirements: in roman type;
b) Test specifications: in italic type; and
c) Notes: in small roman type.
Should however, any deviation exist between IS 302 (Part 1) : 2024 and this standard, the provisions of the latter shall apply.
This revision includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous version (minor changes are not listed):
a) Clarification of holding the appliance with negligible effect on normal operation (3.1.9);
b) Addition of requirements for detachable power supply parts (6.2, 21.102, 21.103, 24.2);
c) Allowance to waive instructions relating to hot blades on animal shearers and commercial animal clippers based on temperatures measured in 11 (7.12);
d) Modification in construction requirements (22.36, 22.40, 22.101, 20.102, 20.103);
e) Test for glow wire and needle flame test added (30);
f) Clarification of requirements for interconnection cords for class III constructions;
g) Addition of direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances (1);
h) Addition of normative references (2);
j) Addition of definitions of related appliances (3.5);
k) Addition of classification for certain appliances (6.1, 6.2);
m) Modifications in marking and instructions (7);
n) Modification in limits of temperature rise (11.8);
p) Introduction of a new clause 12 Charging of metal- ion batteries;
q) Test for transient over voltages added (14);
r) Addition of test for stability and mechanical hazards (20.1);
s) Addition of number of cycles of operation (24);
t) Modifications and additions regarding supply connection and external flexible cords (25);
u) Test for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) added;
w) Annex on battery-operated appliances, separable batteries and detachable batteries for battery-operated appliances added; and
y) Annex on ageing test on motors added.
The text of IEC standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard'; and
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
