Dentistry - Endodontic instruments - Part 8: Accuracy of electronic apex locator (ISO 3630-8:2026); German version EN ISO 3630-8:2026
Abstract
This document specifies requirements and test methods for measuring the accuracy of electronic apex locators that are used to determine the apex location during endodontic treatment. An electronic apex locator is a device used to locate the apex of a root canal to facilitate an evaluation of root canal length. This document does not apply to requirements and test methods related to electrical components. Such specifications are available through other standards such as IEC 60601-1 and IEC 80601-2-60. This document does not apply to specific qualitative and quantitative test methods for demonstrating freedom from unacceptable biological hazard. For the assessment of possible biological hazards, ISO 10993-1 and ISO 7405 can be used.
