CSA C22.2 NO. 60335-2-52:14 (R2019) PDF Download

A standard that applies to home and similar electrical appliances, with a focus on oral hygiene appliances, is CSA C22.2 No. 60335-2-52:14 (R2019). With Canadian modifications, this standard was modified from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Standard 60335-2-52. It replaces the requirements for dental irrigators listed in another standard, CSA C22.2 No. 68-09, and it replaces the previous edition released in 2001.

The goal of this standard is to guarantee the security of domestic electric oral hygiene devices with rated voltages no higher than 250 V. Oral irrigators and toothbrushes are a few examples of appliances that fall within this criteria. It attempts to address the typical risks connected with these items that people confront inside and outside of their homes. However, it does not particularly take into account people who may need supervision or instructions for safe use due to physical, sensory, or mental impairments or a lack of expertise and understanding. Additionally, medical appliances are exempt from the standard's requirements.

It is significant to note that specifications for appliances used in automobiles, ships, or aircraft may necessitate further thought. Additionally, national labor protection authorities, health authorities, and other comparable organizations may create their own unique rules for particular nations.

The Standards Council of Canada has recognized this standard as a National Standard of Canada after it was examined and approved by the CSA Technical Committee on Consumer and Commercial Products. It is meant to be used in conjunction with the general requirements listed in Safety of Household and Similar Appliances - Part 1: General Requirements, CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60335-1-11.
