The safety criteria for electric oral hygiene equipment used in homes and other settings are specifically covered by AS/NZS 60335.2.52:2018. Oral irrigators and toothbrushes are within this category and have a maximum rated voltage of 250 V.

The standard intends to address the typical risks connected to this equipment that people confront inside and outside of their homes. However, it disregards people, especially kids, whose physical, sensory, or mental capacities would make it impossible for them to use the equipment safely without adult supervision or guidance. Children who might play with the appliance are also excluded.

It should be noted that appliances intended for use in automobiles, ships, or aircraft may require additional specifications. Furthermore, in many nations, national health agencies, labor protection authorities, and similar organizations could have extra requirements.

Last but not least, it's crucial to emphasize that this standard does not apply to appliances created for medical applications because they are governed by a different standard (IEC 60601).
