All cosmetic devices must be tested
Not only NiSV-relevant devices with non-ionizing radiation are subject to testing requirements - every electrical device in your cosmetic studio, nail salon or hair salon must be regularly tested for electrical safety. The legal basis is the DGUV Regulation 3 and the testing standards DIN VDE 0701-0702 (for commercial devices) and DIN EN 62353 (for medical devices).

- ✓ Portable devices (hair dryers, drills, UV lamps) - every 6 to 12 months
- ✓ Stationary devices (steamers, permanently installed systems) - every 12 to 24 months
- ✓ Medical devices (lasers, IPL, certain ultrasound devices) - per manufacturer specifications, typically annually
- ✓ After repair - always a new test before returning to service
Documentation and proof
After each test you receive:
- ✓ Test report - Complete documentation of all measured values and results per device
