Overview
EN ISO 13017:2020 - Dentistry: Magnetic attachments (ISO 13017:2020) specifies requirements and test methods for evaluating dental magnetic attachments used to provide retention, support and stabilization of removable prostheses (crowns and bridges, partial dentures and overdentures), implant superstructures, and orthodontic or maxillofacial prostheses including obturators. This European adoption of ISO 13017 (published July 2020) supersedes the 2012 edition and aligns manufacturer, laboratory and regulatory expectations for performance, safety and labelling of magnetic retention elements.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and definitions: Terminology and intended uses for magnetic attachments in dentistry.
- Materials and composition: Requirements for magnet cores and non‑core components; manufacturers must report chemical composition including nickel content and permitted deviations.
- Hazardous elements: Identification of recognized hazardous elements and inclusion of cadmium, beryllium and lead limits (lead added in this edition).
- Magnetic performance: Tests for retentive force, device performance (single‑shaft retentive-force tester), measurement procedures and analysis - including specimen cleaning and fixation methods (e.g., cyanoacrylate adhesive, self‑curing acrylic resin) and a specified cross‑head speed for measurements.
- Magnetic flux leakage: Apparatus and procedure to assess stray magnetic fields.
- Corrosion resistance: Static immersion tests with quantitative analysis (limits of detection) and anodic polarization procedures to evaluate ion release and breakdown potential.
- Risk analysis, marking and labelling: Requirements for instructions for use, labelling (including quantity), and traceability information.
- References for biological assessment: For biocompatibility/toxicology, the standard refers users to ISO 10993‑1 and ISO 7405.
Practical applications
- Ensures consistent, reproducible evaluation of magnetic attachments used in:
- Overdentures and partial dentures
- Implant superstructures and crowns/bridges with magnetic retention
- Orthodontic and maxillofacial prostheses (obturators)
- Supports product development, quality control, and regulatory compliance by defining test methods for retentive force, corrosion resistance, and magnetic safety.
Who should use this standard
- Dental device manufacturers and R&D teams
- Dental laboratories and prosthodontic technicians
- Test laboratories performing materials and performance testing
- Regulatory bodies, procurement specialists and clinicians assessing device suitability
Related standards
- ISO 10993‑1 (biocompatibility assessment)
- ISO 7405 (dental implants - biologic evaluation)
- ISO 10271 (corrosion test methods)
- ISO 5832‑1, ISO 14233, ISO 15223‑1, ISO 1942, ISO 3585
Using EN ISO 13017:2020 helps ensure magnetic dental attachments meet recognized performance and safety expectations for clinical use.

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.

Introduction
The early practical uses of permanent magnets were as navigational compasses. Magnets have since
become firmly integrated into today’s modern electronic device technology. The development of
magnetic technology has generated rare earth magnets. Their excellent magnetic character properties
permit predictable clinical applications and use. Dental magnetic attachments are one of the products
composed of rare earth magnets, providing retention, support and stabilization of dental and
maxillofacial appliances.
Specific qualitative and quantitative test methods for demonstrating freedom from unacceptable
biological hazard are not included in this document, but for the assessment of possible biological or
toxicological hazards, reference can be made to ISO 10993-1 and ISO 7405.
