Marque, Usually products intended for beauty salons are covered under the IEC 335 series of standards. But I strongly believe that because the product can only be used by professionally trained personnel and because needle used might puncture the skin, you may wish to cover under the Medical Devices Directive and the IEC 601 series of standards. Of course, under the MDD you also must classify the equipment (Class I, IIa, IIb and III) and comply with the different modes of compliance.

Greetings, We are in the process of developing an epilation device -(unit used in beauty salons to permanently remove unwanted hair - known as "electrolysis") Does anyone have any idea what EU standard would be most suitable to apply to a device such as this. Is it medical since a needle is inserted into the dermus layer of the skin, or would it come under more of a household standard such as EN60335? Beauty salons are normally found in shopping centres so could this imply some sort of light industrial standard such as EN61010? Any help would be greatly appreciated, kindest regards, Marque Crozman Research & Development Hardware Engineer EMC Test & Complience Engineer ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Innotech Pty Ltd P.O.
