BS EN ISO 16954:2015 pdf free.Dentistry—Test methods for dental unit waterline biofilm treatment.
BS EN ISO 16954 provides type test methods for evaluating the effectiveness of treatment methods intended to prevent or inhibit the formation of biofilm or to remove biofilm present in dental unit procedural water delivery systems under laboratory conditions.
This International Standard does not apply to devices intended to deliver sterile procedural water or sterile solution. It also does not apply to lines, tubing, or hoses that deliver compressed air within the dental unit.
This International Standard does not establish specific upper limits for bacterial contamination or describe test methods to be used in clinical situations. It also does not establish test methods for evaluating any deleterious side effects potentially caused by treatment methods.
The test methods provided in this International Standard can be used to test other dental equipment that delivers non-sterile water to the oral cavity.
