ISO/TC 106/SC 2/WG 7 - Impression materials

This document specifies the requirements and test methods for hydrocolloid impression materials. This document helps to determine whether elastic aqueous agar and alginate hydrocolloid dental impression materials, as prepared for retail marketing, are of the quality needed for their intended purposes. It also specifies requirements for labelling and instructions for use. This document does not address possible biological hazards associated with the materials. Assessment of these hazards is addressed in ISO 7405 and the ISO 10993 series.

This document specifies the requirements and their test methods for elastomeric impression and bite registration materials. NOTE This document does not address possible biological hazards associated with the materials. Assessment of these hazards is addressed in ISO 7405 and the ISO 10993 series.

ISO 14356:2002 specifies requirements and tests for the duplicating materials used in dentistry which are primarily intended for forming flexible moulds needed to produce positive refractory investment copies of properly blocked-out master models.

ISO 4823:2015 specifies the requirements and tests that the state-of-the art body of knowledge suggests for helping determine whether the elastomeric impression materials, as prepared for retail marketing, are of the quality needed for their intended purposes. NOTE This International Standard does not address possible biological hazards associated with the materials. Therefore, interested parties are encouraged to explore ISO 7405 and ISO 10993 for assessment of such hazards.

ISO 21563:2013 specifies the requirements and tests for helping determine whether the elastic aqueous agar and alginate hydrocolloid dental impression materials, as prepared for retail marketing, are of the quality needed for their intended purposes. It also specifies requirements for labelling and instructions for use.

Specifies requirements for physical properties and other characteristics of impression materials and tests for determining compliance with those requirements. It also specifies requirements with respect to the manufacturer's instructions, and the essentials for packaging, labelling and marking. Replaces the first edition to which a great number of amendments were made.

Establishment of the classification of and specification of the requirements for impression materials in powder form containing an alginate as the gel-forming ingredient. This standard replaces ISO/R 1563/1970 of which it constitutes a technical revision. The figures show the different test apparatus, instruments and components.
