ISO 24234 Dentistry – Test Standard for Dental Amalgam

It can be applied to dental amalgam alloys supplied as a free flowing powder in bulk or as a compressed powder in tablet form or as a powder in capsule.

Regarding dental mercury, coverage is limited to dental mercury supplied in pre-encapsulated or pre-dosed sachets only. Both are limited to sufficient mass for a mixture. A mass of dental mercury in a capsule or sachet will be sufficient to produce a homogeneous plastic mixture suitable for a small or medium restoration in a single tooth. This international standard does not apply to mercury supplied in a single primary container in masses greater than this. Dental mercury supplied in bulk volumes will not comply with this international standard.

This international standard does not exclude the separate supply of dental amalgam alloy or dental mercury.

This international standard is not applicable to metallic materials where an alloy powder reacts with an alloy that is liquid at ambient temperature to form a solid metallic material for dental restoration.
