Dentistry - Number coding system for rotary instruments - Part 1: General characteristics (ISO 6360-1:2004)
ISO 6360-1:2004 presents a number coding system for dental rotary instruments and accessories, and provides guidance with regard to its interpretation and use.
ISO 6360-1:2004 specifies the code numbers for materials used for the working parts of instruments, the coating and the binding of abrasives for instruments. This three-digit number forms the first group of three digits in the 15-digit overall number.
ISO 6360-1:2004 further specifies the code numbers for shanks, handles, or bore diameter of unmounted instruments, and for the overall lengths of instruments. This three-digit number forms the second group of three (two plus one) digits in the 15-digit overall number.
Several examples of complete 15-digit identification numbers are given to demonstrate the number coding system, including examples of three (additional) optional digits (16 to 18) for diamond instruments.
In addition to terms for rotary instuments and accessories used in two of the three official ISO languages (English, French and Russian), ISO 6360-1:2004 gives the equivalent terms in the German language; these are published under the responsibility of the member body for Germany (DIN). However, only the terms given in the official languages can be considered as ISO terms.

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 6360-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 106, Dentistry, Subcommittee SC 4, Dental
instruments.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 6360-1:1985), which has been technically
revised. It also incorporates the Amendment ISO 6360-1:1985/Add 1:1988.
ISO 6360 consists of the following parts, under the general title Dentistry — Number coding system for rotary
instruments:
Part 1: General characteristics
Part 2: Shapes
Part 3: Specific characteristics of burs and cutters
Part 4: Specific characteristics of diamond instruments
Part 6: Specific characteristics of abrasive instruments

Introduction
This part of ISO 6360 is one of a series of International Standards relating to dental rotary instruments. A wide
variety of dental rotary instruments, including root-canal instruments, is manufactured throughout the world for
use by the dental profession.
ISO 6360 provides a general number coding system for all types of dental rotary instruments, including
accessories used in connection with these rotary instruments.
The benefits of this system for dentistry in its entirety will only be derived if the system is widely adopted;
manufacturers of dental instruments, as well as the dental trade, are therefore requested to refer to ISO 6360
in their catalogues.
This part of ISO 6360 was prepared in response to a need by the dental trade and industry and the dental
profession for a universal system of classification and designation for these instruments. It establishes a
comprehensive number coding system suitable for all dental rotary instruments by use of a 15-digit code
number identifying general and specific characteristics of instruments or groups of instruments.
The first group of three digits identifies the materials used for the working part of instruments.
The second group of three digits identifies the shanks and handles used for instruments and the overall
lengths of instruments.
The third group of three digits identifies the shapes of instruments.
The fourth group of three digits identifies the specific characteristics for groups of instruments.
The fifth group of three digits identifies the nominal diameter of the working part of the instruments, nominal
size.
The code numbers are generic code numbers. They do not provide exact product information. This
information is given in the respective product standard for dental rotary instruments.
For the application of the system and for the correct allocation of numbers or their identification, it is intended
that the user consult this part of ISO 6360 and ISO 6360-2 for general information, and in addition one of the
subsequent parts (ISO 6360-3 to ISO 6360-7) for further information on specific characteristics of instruments
or groups of instruments.
For the allocation of new numbers complying with ISO 6360, an application supported by a description and a
drawing should be sent to the secretariat of ISO/TC 106/SC 4, Dental instruments, which keeps updated
records of all numbers currently allocated. An international group of experts will then decide on an appropriate
identification number for the instrument in question, including its specific characteristics. The Secretary will
inform the applicant, in due course, of the result and assist him in using the number correctly. The Secretariat
of ISO/TC 106/SC 4 can be contacted at:

General characteristics
1 Scope
This part of ISO 6360 presents a number coding system for dental rotary instruments and accessories, and
provides guidance with regard to its interpretation and use.
This part of ISO 6360 specifies the code numbers for materials used for the working parts of instruments, the
coating and the binding of abrasives for instruments. This three-digit number forms the first group of three
digits in the 15-digit overall number.
This part of ISO 6360 further specifies the code numbers for shanks, handles, or bore diameter of unmounted
instruments, and for the overall lengths of instruments. This three-digit number forms the second group of
three (two plus one) digits in the 15-digit overall number.
In Annex A several examples of complete 15-digit identification numbers are given to demonstrate the number
coding system, including examples of three (additional) optional digits (16 to 18) for diamond instruments.
NOTE In addition to terms for rotary instruments and accessories used in two of the three official ISO languages
(English, French and Russian), this part of ISO 6360 gives the equivalent terms in the German language; these are
published under the responsibility of the member body for Germany (DIN). However, only the terms given in the official
languages can be considered as ISO terms.

5.1 General
The general characteristics of the dental instrument are indicated as follows.
a) The first group of three digits identifies the material used for the working part of the instrument.
The material of the working part is a general characteristic of the dental instrument, and is designated by
a three-digit number, which appears as the first three digits of the 15-digit overall number.
The first two of these three digits indicate the material of the working part of the instrument, including the
grit size for diamond instruments.
For burs, finishing burs, cutters, implant burs and root-canal instruments, the third digit indicates the
coating (plating) and for diamond and abrasive instruments the binding of the grit.
b) The second group of three digits identifies the shank or handle used for the instrument, and the overall
length of the instrument.
Shank and handles are general characteristics of dental instruments and are designated by a two-digit
number, which appears in locations four and five of the 15-digit overall number.
The overall length of an instrument is a general characteristic, and is designated by a one-digit number,
which appears in location six of the 15-digit overall number.
