This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows:

1.1 Scope

1.1.1 General

Replacement:

This part of IEC 60704 applies to electric hand-held hairdryers for household and similar use supplied from mains, which operate with a flow of air.

These particular requirements can also be applied to analogous electrically operated devices such as hairstyling appliances, which produce the airflow by a fan.

Helmet-type hairdryers are excluded from this standard.

This standard does not apply to hair care appliances with radiant heating.

1.1.2 Types of noise

Replacement:

ISO 3743‑1 , ISO 3743‑2 and ISO 3744 can be used for measuring noise emitted by electric hairdryers.

1.1.3 Size of the source

Replacement:

The method specified in ISO 3744 is applicable to noise sources of any size (limited only by available test environment). When applying ISO 3743‑1 and ISO 3743‑2, care should be taken that the maximum size of the electric hair care appliance under test fulfils the requirements specified in 1.3 of ISO 3743‑1 and ISO 3743‑2.
