33 FOREWORD
34 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
35 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
36 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
37 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
38 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
39 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
40 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
41 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
42 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
43 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
44 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
45 interested IEC National Committees.
46 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
47 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
48 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
49 misinterpretation by any end user.
50 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
51 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
52 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
53 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
54 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
55 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
56 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
57 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
58 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
59 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
60 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
61 Publications.
62 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
63 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
64 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
65 rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
66 International Standard IEC 60704-2-8 has been prepared by subcommittee 59L: Small
67 household appliances, of IEC technical committee 59: Performance of household and similar
68 electrical appliances.
69 This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2020. This edition
70 constitutes a technical revision.
71 This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
72 edition:
73 a) it is adjusted with respect to IEC 60704-1:2021;
74 b) stabilizing period and check of the battery status has been redefined;
75 c) position of the appliance during test redefined.

76 The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
xxx/xxx/FDIS xxx/xxx/RVD
78 Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
79 voting indicated in the above table.
80 This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
81 This Part 2-8 is intended to be used in conjunction with fourth edition of IEC 60704-1:2021,
82 Household and similar electrical appliances – Test code for the determination of airborne
83 acoustical noise – Part 1: General requirements.
84 The relevant text of IEC 60704-1:2021 as amended by this standard establishes the test code
85 for shavers, hair clippers or trimmers.
86 This Part 2-8 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 60704-1:2021, so as
87 to establish the test code for shavers, hair clippers or trimmers. When a particular subclause of
88 IEC 60704-1:2021 is not mentioned in this Part 2-8, that subclause is applicable as far as
89 reasonable. Where this standard states "addition", "modification" or "replacement", the relevant
90 requirements, test specifications or explanatory matter in IEC 60704-1:2021 shall be adapted
91 accordingly.
92 Subclauses, tables and figures that are numbered starting from 101 are additional to those in
93 IEC 60704-1:2021.
94 Unless notes are in a new subclause or involve notes in IEC 60704-1:2021, they are numbered
95 starting from 101, including those in a replaced clause or subclause.
