AS/NZS 60335.2.27:2016 (IEC TEXT) PDF Download

Household and similar electrical appliances: Safety, Part 2.27, or AS/NZS 60335.2.27:2016 (IEC Text), is a standard. The safety of electrical appliances that emit optical radiation for the purpose of skin exposure is the subject of the specific criteria for appliances for skin exposure to optical radiation. Appliances meeting this standard must have a maximum rated voltage of 480 V for other appliances and 250 V for single-phase appliances.

One crucial point to remember is that the IEC wording becomes effective on June 30, 2018, with the exception of the title change, which becomes effective on June 30, 2016. This indicates that on June 30, 2018, the AS/NZS 60335.2.27:2016 standard from the year 2016 will replace the earlier AS/NZS 60335.2.27:2010 standard. The standard's wording is taken from IEC 60335-2-27 Ed. 5.2 and has been implemented with national amendments.
