Joe,
IEC 60335 deals more with electromechanical products. You
need to consider having this looked at as an electronic product.
The key IEC standards for electronic products are IEC 61010 and IEC 62368-1.
I would recommend that you look at IEC 62368-1 and work to
select appropriate requirements from that standard to apply to the
E-cigarette unit. IEC 62368-1 is organized around hazards so it is
straightforward to identify the hazards then chase the requirements in the
standard.
For your case you could use the present UL standard as a
starting point to identify issues and then seek an equivalent IEC
requirement; a further investigation would have to be done for any
additional requirements for completeness.
I know that something similar to this has been done for
looking at new things like electric scooters to start building a base for a
new standard.

Entropy ain't what it used to be

Subject: [PSES] Will there be an IEC electrical safety standard for
E-cigarettes?
Hello All:
In 2018 here in the USA, UL published a Standard for Safety, UL-8139,
"Electrical Systems of Electronic Cigarettes and Vaping Devices."
I've looked at the IEC web site to see whether a similar international
standard has emerged, but so far I have not found one.
Does anyone know whether such a standard is in the developmental stages
within the IEC?
In the meantime, the closest existing IEC standard that might be used for
electrical safety of E-cigarettes appears to be IEC 60335 for "Household and
Similar Electrical Appliances - Safety."
Thanks,
