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).
