TS 13193

TS 13193 sets out rules for authorised services that support body care equipment. It addresses the service organisation rather than the devices themselves, covering structural arrangements, operating practices, technical facilities, personnel qualifications and certification-related provisions. In practical terms, it defines the framework expected from a competent service environment for this product group.

Core areas covered by a competent-service model

• Structural arrangement and organisation of the service area
• Operating principles and how the service is run
• Technical equipment and the facility resources needed for service work
• Personnel characteristics, competence and responsibilities
• Rules related to certification

In general technical context, body care equipment refers to products used in personal grooming and care, often involving electrical or mechanical systems. For this kind of equipment, service quality depends not only on repairing faults but also on proper diagnosis, suitable replacement parts, recordkeeping and trained staff. This standard should therefore be understood as a rules document for building a reliable consumer-service setup around the equipment class.

The standard cites TS 12361:2016 and TS 8401:2003, and it is connected to the consumer-protection framework. It does not define product performance requirements; it addresses the institutional and professional organisation of authorised services. According to the record, it has been withdrawn.
