Introduction
There are three levels of European Standards dealing with medical devices used in dentistry. These are as follows:
— Level 1: General requirements for medical devices;
— Level 2: Particular requirements for families of medical devices used in dentistry;
— Level 3: Specific requirements for types of medical devices used in dentistry.
There are no level 1 standards written exclusively in respect of medical devices used in dentistry.
This standard is a level 2 standard and details requirements that apply to those materials used in the practice of
dentistry for the restoration of the form and function of the dentition (for dental implants see EN 1642). It is also
indicated that there are additional requirements in the level 3 standards. Where available, these are included as
normative references. To cover all the requirements for a particular product, it is necessary to use a standard of the
lowest available level.
The manufacturer will need to consider whether:
1) The material incorporates, as an integral part, a substance which, if used separately, may be considered
to be a medicinal product as defined in Article 1 of Directive 2001/83/EEC [2], and whose action in
combination with the material can result in its bioavailability. Directive 2001/83/EEC specifies the
appropriate methods for assessing the safety, quality and usefulness of that substance.
2) The material includes a constituent which may be classified as a hazardous substance according to the
Dangerous Substances Directive 67/548/EEC [3], as amended by the Dangerous Preparations Directive
1999/45/EC [4]. Attention is drawn to the labelling requirements of these Directives where the hazardous
constituent content is above certain concentration limits.
In the Bibliography a reference for guidance on the classification of dental devices and accessories [5] is given.
