Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 4073 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 106, Dentistry, Subcommittee SC 6, Dental equipment.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 4073:1980), which has been technically revised. The following changes have been made:

• a) deletion of annex with the recommendation for a paper identification card;
• b) addition of definitions for new devices or improved systems;
• c) deletion of symbols for location of dentist's or dental assistant's instrumentation.

Introduction

The identification system provides the means of giving general information about the presence of items and of describing relevant characteristics concerning dimensional flexibility and adaptability of the items and parts of their accessories.

In addition, this International Standard provides definitions for general terms used in the area of dental equipment.
