IEC 60335-2-8:20 22涉及电动剃须刀、理发器、脱毛器、用于修指甲和修脚的器具以及用于家用和类似目的的类似器具的安全性，其额定电压不超过250 V，包括直流（DC）供电的器具和电池供电的器具。 不打算用于正常家庭使用，但可能对公众造成危险的电器，如打算供商店和农场中的外行人使用的电器，属于本标准的范围。这种器具的实例是动物剪羊毛机。 在可行的情况下，本标准涉及家庭内外所有人都会遇到的电器带来的常见危险。然而，一般来说，它没有考虑到 -身体、感官或精神能力受损的人（包括儿童）；或缺乏经验和知识使他们无法在没有监督或指导的情况下安全使用器具； -儿童在玩电器。 提请注意以下事实: -对于拟用于车辆或船舶或飞机上的器具，可能需要附加要求； -在许多国家，国家卫生当局、负责保护劳工的国家当局和类似当局规定了额外的要求。 本标准不适用于 -拟在有特殊条件的地方使用的器具，例如存在腐蚀性或爆炸性气氛（灰尘、蒸汽或气体）； -按摩器具(IEC 60335-2-32)；-包含激光和强光源的美容护理器具(IEC 60335-2-113)； -皮肤美容护理器具(IEC 60335-2-115)； -医疗器械（IEC 60601）。 本第七版取消并取代2012年发布的第六版、修正案1:20 15和修正案2:20 18。本版构成技术修订版。 与上一版相比，此版本包括以下重大技术变更: a)符合IEC 60335-1:20 20； b)将一些注释转换为规范性文本（第1、3.1.9、19.10、20.1、22.103条）； c)说明对正常操作影响可忽略的器械的握持（3.1.9）； d)增加对可拆卸电源部件的要求(6.2、21.102、21.103、24.2)； e)根据第11条(7.12); f)澄清和合并22.26和22.36中的要求； g)澄清30.2.2和30.2.3的适用性； h)明确III类结构互连线的要求。 本第2部分应与最新版本的IEC 60335-1及其修订一起使用，除非该版本排除了本第2部分；在这种情况下，使用不排除它的最新版本。它是在该标准第六版（2020年）的基础上建立的。

IEC 60335-2-8:2022 deals with the safety of electric shavers, hair clippers, epilators, appliances used for manicure and pedicure and similar appliances intended for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V, including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances.
Appliances not intended for normal household use, but which nevertheless possibly pose a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops and on farms, are within the scope of this standard. Examples of such appliances are animal shearers.
As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general, it does not take into account
– persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities; or lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction;
– children playing with the appliance.
Attention is drawn to the fact that
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements can be necessary;
– in many countries additional requirements are specified by national health authorities, national authorities responsible for the protection of labour and similar authorities.
This standard does not apply to
– 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);
– massage appliances (IEC 60335-2-32);
– beauty care appliances incorporating lasers and intense light sources (IEC 60335-2-113);
– skin beauty care appliances (IEC 60335-2-115);
– appliances for medical purposes (IEC 60601).
This seventh edition cancels and replaces the sixth edition published in 2012, Amendment 1:2015 and Amendment 2:2018. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) alignment with IEC 60335-1:2020;
b) conversion of some notes to normative text (Clause 1, 3.1.9, 19.10, 20.1, 22.103);
c) clarification of holding the appliance with negligible effect on normal operation (3.1.9);
d) addition of requirements for detachable power supply parts (6.2, 21.102, 21.103, 24.2);
e) allowance to waive instructions relating to hot blades on animal shearers and commercial animal clippers based on temperatures measured in Clause 11 (7.12);
f) clarification and consolidation of requirements in 22.26 and 22.36;
g) clarification of applicability of 30.2.2 and 30.2.3;
h) clarification of requirements for interconnection cords for class III constructions.
This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its amendments unless that edition precludes it; in that case, the latest edition that does not preclude it is used. It was established on the basis of the sixth edition (2020) of that standard.
