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.
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.
International Standard ISO 9873 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 106, Dentistry, Subcommittee 4,
Dental instruments.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 9873:1990), of which it constitutes a technical
revision.
Annex A of this International Standard is for information only.

Introduction
This International Standard specifies requirements for a type of dental viewing and retracting instrument in common
use throughout the world. However, it is well known that there are also other types of mirrors in use which have
different designs and/or are made of different materials. Amongst these other types are mirrors with plastics cases
and/or stems; mirrors with a polished metal reflecting surface (as opposed to a coated glass surface); mirrors with a
cone socket design; and single-use mirrors. Standardization of these other types may form the subject of future
work.
