Dentistry - Amalgam separators (ISO 11143:2008)

ISO 11143:2008 specifies requirements and test methods for amalgam separators used in connection with dental equipment in the dental treatment centre. It specifies the efficiency of the amalgam separators in terms of the level of retention of amalgam based on a laboratory test and the test procedure for determining this efficiency. It also includes requirements for the safe functioning of the amalgam separator, for marking, instructions for use, operation and maintenance.
All tests described in ISO 11143:2008 are type tests.

Zahnheilkunde - Amalgamabscheider (ISO 11143:2008)

Diese Internationalen Norm legt Anforderungen an und Prüfverfahren für Amalgamabscheider fest, die in Verbindung mit der zahnärztlichen Ausrüstung am zahnärztlichen Behandlungsplatz eingesetzt werden. Diese Norm spezifiziert den Wirkungsgrad eines Amalgamabscheiders über die Menge des zurückgehaltenen Amalgams, das in einem Laborprüfverfahren ermittelt wird. Außerdem werden Anforderungen an eine sichere Funktionsweise des Amalgamabscheiders, an die Kennzeichnung und an die Gebrauchsanweisung sowie an die Anweisungen für den Betrieb und die Wartung festgelegt.
Alle in dieser Internationalen Norm beschriebenen Prüfungen sind Typprüfungen.

Art dentaire - Séparateurs d'amalgame (ISO 11143:2008)

L'ISO 11143:2008 spécifie les exigences et les méthodes d'essai relatives aux séparateurs d'amalgame utilisés en association avec le matériel dentaire du centre de traitement dentaire. Elle spécifie le rendement des séparateurs en termes de niveau de rétention d'amalgame, basé sur un essai en laboratoire, ainsi que le mode opératoire d'essai permettant de calculer ce rendement. Elle comporte également des exigences relatives à la sécurité de fonctionnement du séparateur d'amalgame, au marquage et aux instructions d'utilisation, de fonctionnement et de maintenance.
Tous les essais décrits dans l'ISO 11143:2008 sont des essais de type.

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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, P
