Switzerland has no specific federal sterilization legislation for nail salons — but sterilization of reusable metal instruments is the professional standard for client safety and reputation.
Switzerland has no specific federal legislation requiring autoclave sterilization for nail instruments. Professionals who invest in sterilization for cuticle nippers, metal pushers, and drill bits operate above the legal minimum. If a salon combines nail services with permanent makeup or any tattoo / piercing activity, Art. 62 LGV (SR 817.02) and the EDI Ordinance on objects in human contact (SR 817.023.41) apply in full to the dermopigmentation or skin-penetrating activity — including federal cantonal notification and sterile single-use material or instruments sterilized before each use. Digital sterilization traceability is a differentiator in a market where client trust drives repeat business.
