Dentistry - Mixing machines for dental amalgam (ISO 7488:2018)

This document specifies requirements for electrically-powered mixing machines for mixing dental
amalgam alloy, and dental mercury in capsules to produce dental amalgam.
This document specifies the test methods used to determine conformity with these requirements.
This document refers to those machines that mix by an oscillating action and which are sold by the
manufacturer for the purpose of mixing dental amalgam whether or not they are intended for mixing
any other type of product.
This document does not specify requirements for removable mixing-capsules, as are used in many
machines to contain the material to be mixed, although considered as part of the machine when in use
or under test.

In diesem Dokument werden Anforderungen an elektrisch betriebene Mischgeräte zum Mischen von dentalen Amalgamlegierungen und dentalem Quecksilber in Kapseln zur Herstellung von zahnärztlichem Amalgam festgelegt.
Dieses Dokument beschreibt die Prüfverfahren, die zur Bestimmung der Konformität mit diesen Anforderun¬gen angewandt werden.
Dieses Dokument bezieht sich auf Geräte, die durch eine oszillierende Bewegung mischen und die vom Hersteller zur Herstellung von zahnärztlichem Amalgam verkauft werden, unabhängig davon, ob sie auch zum Mischen von anderen Produkten vorgesehen sind.
In diesem Dokument werden keine Anforderungen an auswechselbare Mischkapseln festgelegt, wie sie in vielen Geräten verwendet werden, um die zu vermischenden Stoffe aufzunehmen, obwohl die Kapsel als Teil des Gerätes betrachtet wird, wenn dieses in Gebrauch ist oder geprüft wird.

Médecine bucco-dentaire - Mélangeurs pour amalgame dentaire (ISO 7488:2018)

L'ISO 7488:2018 concerne les mélangeurs à mouvement oscillatoire qui sont commercialisés par le fabricant pour mélanger l'amalgame dentaire, qu'ils soient ou non conçus pour mélanger un autre type de produit.
L'ISO 7488:2018 ne spécifie pas les exigences applicables aux capsules de mélange amovibles qui sont utilisées dans de nombreux mélangeurs pour contenir le matériau à mélanger, bien qu'elles soient considérées comme faisant partie du mélangeur lorsqu'il est utilisé ou soumis à essai.

Zobozdravstvo - Naprave za mešanje zobnega amalgama (ISO 7488:2018)

Ta dokument določa posebne zahteve za mešalne stroje na električni pogon za mešanje zobne amalgamske zlitine in živega srebra v kapsulah za izdelavo zobnega amalgama.
Ta dokument določa preskusne metode za uporabo pri ugotavljanju skladnosti s temi zahtevami. Ta dokument se nanaša na stroje za mešanje s pomočjo nihajočega premikanja, ki jih proizvajalec prodaja za mešanje zobnega amalgama, ne glede na to, ali so ti stroji namenjeni mešanju katerega koli drugega proizvoda.
Ta dokument ne določa zahtev za snemljive mešalne kapsule, ki se uporabljajo pri številnih strojih za zadrževanje materiala za mešanje, kljub temu, da med uporabo ali preskušanjem veljajo za del stroja.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following
URL: www .iso .org/iso/foreword .html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 106, Dentistry, Subcommittee SC 6, Dental
equipment.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 7488:1991), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— clarification of the scope;
— deletion of the classification (according to frequency);
— addition of the requirements for the maximum sound pressure level in 4.3;
— addition of measurement and test methods;

Introduction
The mixing performance requirement in this document is based on the concept of coherence time. This
arises because it is not possible to define precisely just what constitutes a “clinically usable” mix, this
being a subjective and vague value judgment. It is to be noted that the readily identifiable stage in the
mixing process designated coherence is an intermediate stage and is an indication that satisfactory
mixing is occurring. A “clinically usable” amalgam mix or other material mix cannot be obtained unless
coherence is first achieved. A “clinically usable” mix generally requires mixing further to that required
for coherence.
The scope is intended in due course to include machines for mixing material other than dental amalgam,
such as cements. However, the relevant information is not yet to be available, and all mixing related
references in this document are in respect of dental amalgam. The scope will be extended to include
capsulated cements as soon as suitable data become available and consequential additions will be
included in the requirements and test methods.

1 Scope
This document specifies requirements for electrically-powered mixing machines for mixing dental
amalgam alloy, and dental mercury in capsules to produce dental amalgam.
This document specifies the test methods used to determine conformity with these requirements.
This document refers to those machines that mix by an oscillating action and which are sold by the
