Safety of Household and Similar Electrical Appliances - Part 2: Particular Requirements for Ultraviolet and Infrared Radiation Skin Treatment Appliances for Household Use
Also Known As:
The safety criteria for household equipment used for skin treatment with UV or infrared radiation emitters are covered by the CAN/CSA-E335-2-27-94 standard.
According to the standard, bed-cradle-style radiant heat baths and tunnels, as well as appliances used for medical treatment, are exempt from its requirements. It emphasizes the possibility of unique criteria for appliances used in tropical regions. It also highlights the possibility of new regulations from national health authorities and other organizations in charge of household safety.
According to the standard, appliances that use discharge lamps, tungsten filament lamps, or both must also adhere to the requirements of IEC Publication 598-1: Luminaires, Part 1: General Requirements and Tests. The regulation also states that new restrictions on UV radiation are under consideration.
The guideline does not, however, address the specific risks that might arise in settings like nurseries or places with young children, old or ill people who might not be under supervision, or locations with both. To maintain safety in these situations, additional measures could be required.
