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, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
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.
ISO 7494-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 106, Dentistry, Subcommittee SC 6, Dental
equipment.
This first edition of ISO 7494-1 cancels and replaces ISO 7494:1996, of which it constitutes a minor revision.
ISO 7494 consists of the following parts, under the general title Dentistry — Dental units:
Part 1: General requirements and test methods
Part 2: Water and air supply
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 7494-1:2004(E)
Dentistry — Dental units —
Part 1:
General requirements and test methods
1 Scope
This part of ISO 7494 specifies requirements and test methods for dental units, regardless of whether or not
they are electrically powered.
It also specifies requirements for manufacturer's instructions, marking and packaging.
This part of ISO 7494 is one of a series of International Standards based on IEC 60601-1; in IEC 60601-1 (the
“General Standard”), this type of International Standard is referred to as a “Particular Standard”. As stated in
IEC 60601-1:1988, 1.3, the requirements of this part of ISO 7494 take precedence over those of IEC 60601-1.

For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in IEC 60601-1 and ISO 1942 (some of
which are repeated below for convenience) apply.
3.1

[ISO 1942]
4 Classification
4.1 According to type of protection against electric shock
Dental units may be classified as follows.
a) Class I equipment
Equipment in which protection against electric shock does not rely on basic insulation only, but which
includes an additional safety precaution in such a way that means are provided for the connection of
accessible conductive parts to the protective (earth) conductor in the fixed wiring of the installation so that
accessible conductive parts cannot become live in the event of a failure of the basic insulation.
b) Class II equipment
Equipment in which protection against electric shock does not rely on basic insulation only, but in which
additional safety precautions such as double insulation or reinforced insulation are provided, there being
no provision for protective earthing or reliance upon installation conditions.
4.2 According to degree of protection against electric shock
Dental units may be grouped by type as follows.
a) Type B equipment
Class I or II equipment or equipment with an internal electrical power source providing an adequate
degree of protection against electric shock, particularly regarding
allowable leakage currents;
reliability of the protective earth connection (if present).
Type B equipment is, for example, suitable for intentional external and internal application to the patient,
excluding direct cardiac application.
b) Type BF equipment
Type B equipment with an F-type isolated (floating) applied part.
4.3 According to mode of operation
Dental units are a type of equipment with intermittent operation.

5 Requirements and recommendations
5.1 General requirements
5.1.1 Design
5.1.1.1 Electrical requirements given in 5.3 are only applicable to electrically powered dental units. The
general requirements referred to in IEC 60601-1:1988, are applicable to non-electrical dental units as well.
If the dental unit is an integral part of the dental patient chair, then ISO 6875 applies in addition.
5.1.1.2 Dental units shall be designed, constructed and manufactured so that when properly transported,
stored, installed, used and maintained according to the manufacturer's instructions, they cause no reasonably
foreseeable danger to the patient, to the operating personnel or to the surroundings in normal use and in
single-fault condition.
These requirements cannot be objectively assessed. They are considered as fulfilled if all the tests specified
in Clause 7 are passed.
5.1.1.3 Dental units shall have the strength and rigidity necessary to resist the stresses to which they
may be subjected in normal dental practice without risk of introducing fire, electric shock or accident hazard.
These requirements cannot be objectively assessed. They are considered as fulfilled if all the tests specified
in Clause 7 are passed.
5.1.1.4 Any item of equipment recommended by the manufacturer for use in conjunction with the dental
unit shall not render the unit unsafe.
These requirements cannot be objectively assessed. They are considered as fulfilled if all the tests specified
in Clause 7 are passed.
5.1.1.5 Edges and corners of components and parts of the unit accessible to the patient or personnel
shall be finished so as to avoid injury to the patient or operator.
Compliance shall be checked by visual inspection.
5.1.1.6 Instrument hoses connected to the unit shall be disconnectable for cleaning and disinfection.
The disconnectability shall be checked by manual inspection.
5.1.2 Moving parts
Moving parts that may constitute a hazard under normal working conditions shall be covered to prevent the
risk of injury to the patient and personnel.
The distance between power-activated moving parts and counterparts accessible to the patient's and
personnel's hands and fingers shall be less than 10 mm (i.e. < 10 mm) when fully opened or a minimum of
20 mm (i.e. W 20 mm) when fully closed.
Safety features shall be provided to protect the patient and personnel from accessible power-activated moving
parts. These can include safety switches, limit switches or controls requiring continuous activation.
All electrical cables and hydraulic tubes shall be adequately protected against wear, fracture and damage due
to rubbing or strain incurred during normal operation of the unit.
Testing shall be carried out in accordance with 7.2.2.
ISO 7494-1:2004(E)
5.1.3 Operating controls
Controls should be located to comply with ergonomic conditions and in such a position or be of such design
that they cannot be accidentally activated.
Operating symbols in accordance with ISO 9687 shall be used where applicable.
Testing shall be carried out in accordance with 7.2.1.
5.1.4 Cleaning and disinfection
All exterior parts including instrument hoses shall be cleanable and disinfectable, without deterioration of the
surface or markings, by using agents recommended by the manufacturer.
Testing shall be carried out in accordance with 7.1.8.
5.1.5 Excessive temperatures
