This part of ISO 1942 defines terms associated with the testing of dental products. General and clinical terms, and terms con-cerning dental materials, instruments and equipment are incor-porated in the four other parts of this International Standard. Equivalent terms and definitions are given in both English and French.
This International Standard is intended to provide accepted definitions for a number of terms used in dentistry that could prove useful for the comprehension of documents aiming at the preparation and implementation of Standards, and to improve communication, through close cooperation with the Federation dentaire Internationale, the World Health Organization and other national or international interested organizations.
