IS 13701 : 2024/ISO 8325: 2023 Dentistry - Test Methods for Rotary Instruments
NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Second Revision) which is identical to ISO 8325 : 2023 'Dentistry - Test methods for rotary instruments' issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Dentistry Sectional Committee and approval of the Medical Equipment and Hospital Planning Division Council.
This standard was first published in 1993 and was identical to ISO 8325 : 1985 'Dental rotary instruments test methods'. The standard was revised in 2018 to align it with the latest version of ISO 8325 : 2004. This revision of this standard has been brought out to align it with the latest version of ISO 8325 : 2023. After publication of this standard, IS 13701 : 2018/ISO 8325 : 2004 stands withdrawn.
The text of ISO standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are however not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard'; and
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
