Hi Joe,
TC 61 is indeed working on this. Of particular interest to you are probably: <https://www.iec.ch/dyn/www/f?p=103:38:17245641784861::::FSP_ORG_ID,FSP_APEX _PAGE,FSP_PROJECT_ID:1236,23,103909> IEC 60335-2-120 ED1 Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-120: Particular requirements for electric heaters for tobacco products (EHTP) <https://www.iec.ch/dyn/www/f?p=103:38:17245641784861::::FSP_ORG_ID,FSP_APEX _PAGE,FSP_PROJECT_ID:1236,23,103910> IEC 60335-2-121 ED1 Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-121: Particular requirements for portable vaping devices Not sure how much immediate help they would be as the forecasted release date is July 2023. They are both in the "Approved for CD" stage. Our PSES friend and frequent presenter at PSES conferences Fiore Chiang (from UL I believe) is the project leader for -121. Yusuke Suzuki is the project leader for -120. You can follow the links above for more information and if you know someone on TC 61 they may be able to give you info on the drafts. Stay safe, stay well. Dan From: Joe Randolph [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, December 10, 2020 2:00 PM To: [email protected] 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."
