Standard
ISO  8325 Second edition 2004-09-15
Dentistry - Test methods for rotary instruments
Scope/Abstract
This International Standard specifies methods for measuring the dimensional characteristics, neck strength and surface roughness of dental rotary instruments, such as burs, cutters, polishers, diamond and abrasive instruments.

This International Standard does not provide test methods for the characteristics of materials used for dental rotary instruments.

NOTE For testing of these characteristics, see the respective product standards.

This International Standard is not applicable to dental root-canal instruments (see ISO 3630-1).
Extent of Recognition
Complete standard
Rationale for Recognition
This standard is relevant to medical devices and is recognized on its scientific and technical merit and/or because it supports existing regulatory policies.
Transition Period
FDA recognition of ISO 8325 Second edition 2004-09 [Rec# 4-244] will be superseded by recognition of ISO 8325 Third edition 2023-03 [Rec# 4-317].
