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 of 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 www .iso .org/
iso/ foreword .html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/ISO/TC 106, Dentistry, Subcommittee SC 2,
Prosthodontic materials, in collaboration with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN)
Technical Committee CEN/TC 55, Dentistry, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation
between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition (ISO 4823:2015), which has been technically
revised and enhanced with regard to elastomeric bite registration materials. The following changes
have been applied:
— the title and scope have been changed to reflect the inclusion of elastomeric bite registration
materials;
— ISO 48-4:2018 has been added as a normative reference;
— a description of minimum time in the oral cavity for bite registration materials has been added;
— a description of hardness of bite registration materials has been added.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A
complete listing of these bodies can be found at www .iso .org/ members .html.

Note 1 to entry: In this document, it is Shore hardness according to ISO 48-4:2018, Type A.
[SOURCE: ISO 1382:2020, 3.247, modified – Note 1 to entry added.]
3.6
minimum time in the oral cavity
minimum time span the material stays in the oral cavity to sufficiently minimize deformation
3.7
mixing time
time, measured from first contact between different components of a material being mixed, required
to achieve a homogeneous mixture when the components are mixed according to the manufacturer’s
instructions
Note 1 to entry: The time of first contact between extrusion-mixed material components is defined as the time
when the material components can be seen entering into the mixing nozzle.
3.8
outer package
wrapping or carton, used to cover one or more primary containers in preparation for retail marketing
Note 1 to entry: Legislation or specific standards can apply.
3.9
primary packaging
container designed to come into direct contact with the product
[SOURCE: ISO 21067-1:2016, 2.2.3, modified — “packaging” replaced with “container” in the definition.]
3.10
strain in compression
flexibility/stiffness property ranges of the materials that determines whether the set materials, when
formed as impressions, can be removed from the mouth without injury to the impressed oral tissues
and have adequate stiffness in the more flexible portions of impressions to resist deformation when
model-forming products are poured against them
3.11
working time
period of time beginning with the commencement of mixing and ending before the material being mixed
has begun to exhibit elastic properties that prevents the material from being manipulated as required
to form an impression or a mould having the desired surface detail and dimensional characteristics

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.

— ISO Online browsing platform: available at http:// www .iso .org/ obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at http:// www .electropedia .org/
3.1
consistency
degree of firmness with which particles of a material, prepared for use, cohere so as to allow the
material to flow, or resist flow
3.2
elastic recovery
elastic properties required to recover adequately after deformation
3.3
extrusion mixing
method by which two or more material components are extruded simultaneously from their separate
primary containers through a mixing nozzle from which the material components emerge as a
homogeneous mixture
3.4
hand mixing
method of mixing the components of a material by means of manual kneading or spatulation

3.5
hardness
Shore hardness according to ISO 48-4:2018 Type A
3.6
minimum time in the oral cavity
minimum time span the material has to stay in the oral cavity before removal to sufficiently minimize
deformation
3.7
mixing time
time, measured from first contact between different components of a material being mixed, required
to achieve a homogeneous mixture when the components are mixed according to the manufacturer’s
instructions
Note 1 to entry: The time of first contact between extrusion-mixed material components is defined as the time
when the material components can be seen entering into the mixing nozzle.
3.8
outer package
wrapping or carton, which may be required by law or a standard to bear specified labelling, used to
cover one or more primary containers in preparation for retail marketing
3.9
primary packaging
container designed to come into direct contact with the product
[SOURCE: ISO 21067:2007, 2.2.2, modified — “packaging” replaced by “container” in the definition.]
3.10
strain in compression
〈elastic impression materials〉 flexibility/stiffness property ranges of materials so as to determine
whether the set materials, when formed as impressions, can be removed from the mouth without injury
to impressed oral tissues and will have adequate stiffness in the more flexible portions of impressions
to resist deformation when model-forming products are poured against them
3.11
working time
period of time beginning with the commencement of mixing and ending before the material being
mixed has begun to exhibit elastic properties that will prevent the material from being manipulated
as required to form an impression or a mould having the desired surface detail and dimensional
characteristics
4 Classification
Materials covered by this International Standard are classified according to the following
consistencies determined immediately after completion of mixing according to the manufacturer’s
instructions (see 5.3):
— Type 0: putty consistency;
— Type 1: heavy-bodied consistency;
— Type 2: medium-bodied consistency;
— Type 3: light-bodied consistency;
— Type B: bite registration materials.

5 Requirements for packaging, labelling, and information in manufacturer's
instructions
5.1 Packaging requirements
No packaging requirements are specified in this International Standard, but it is important for
manufacturers to take into account that the packaging should be such that it will not contaminate
or permit contamination of ingredients of the material components during recommended storage
conditions. Structure of the primary packaging should also be such that no leakage or inadvertent
extrusion of the contents can occur during storage and such that the containers will not rupture during
use of the extrusion methods recommended by the manufacturer.
5.2 Labelling requirements
5.2.1 Outer packages (containing one or more primary containers)
Labelling of the outer packaging prepared for retail marketing containing one or more primary
containers shall bear the following information:
a) recommended storage conditions for the unopened package;
b) brand name;
c) name and address of the manufacturer or the name of another company authorized by the
manufacturer to market the material under a different brand name;

bodied (see Clause 4) (the type number may also be included);
e) manufacturer's batch reference(s);
f) USE BEFORE DATE, identified as such, beyond which the material may not exhibit its best
properties. The date shall be expressed as a six-digit number, for example, 2014-09, where the first
four digits indicate the year (2014) and the last two digits indicate the month (September);
g) minimum volume that would result from mixing the entire component contents included in the
outer package.
5.2.2 Primary containers within outer packaging
Labels for primary containers shall bear the following information:
a) brand name;
b) name of the manufacturer or name of another company authorized to market the material under a
different brand name;
c) component identification (not required when the components for extrusion mixing are supplied in
separate but joined primary containers);
d) manufacturer’s batch references.
5.3 Requirements for information in manufacturer's instructions
5.3.1 General
Each package in which the components of an impression material are prepared for retail marketing shall
