BS EN IEC 63174:2022 PDF Download

A standard known as BS EN IEC 63174:2022 is applicable to electric toothbrushes used for tooth cleaning. For both adults and children, this covers both rechargeable and basic battery-operated toothbrushes. The test procedures for gauging these toothbrushes' performance parameters are described in the standard. It is significant to note that this document does not define any limit values; it just describes the measuring methods.

Electrically powered toothbrushes are further categorized by the standard according to their operation and supply modalities. Brushes might be rechargeable or primarily battery operated in terms of supply modes. You can further divide rechargeable toothbrushes into tethered and wireless varieties. Rotating, reciprocating, and vibratory are the three different types of working modes for toothbrushes. Linear and rotational reciprocating toothbrushes are further categories of reciprocating toothbrushes. 

Noting that all tests must be performed on all types of toothbrushes, with the exception of primary battery-operated and rechargeable toothbrushes, it is important to note that the various types of toothbrushes are solely described for informational purposes. The primary goal of the standard is to provide measurement techniques for assessing the performance of electrically powered toothbrushes.
