scope:

This International Standard specifies requirements and test methods for powered polymerization activators in the 400--515 nm wavelength region intended for chairside use in polymerization of dental polymer-based materials. This international standard applies to powered and rechargeable battery powered quartz-tungstenhalogen lamps, and light-emitting diode (LED) lamps Powered polymerization activator could have internal power supply (rechargeable battery powered) or connected to external (mains) power supply. Lasers or plasma arc devices are not covered by this standard. This International Standard does not cover powered polymerization activators used in laboratory fabrication of indirect restorations, veneers, dentures or other oral dental appliances. This Part of ISO 10650 takes priority over IEC 60601-1:2005+A1:2012 where specified in the individual clauses of this International Standard.
