The work of preparing
24、 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 liais
25、on 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, Part 2. The main task of te
26、chnical 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 dr
27、awn 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 11143 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 106, Dentistry, Subcommittee SC 6, Dental equipment. This secon
28、d edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 11143:1999) which has been technically revised by means of the following changes: a) the description of the test method has been improved; b) testing at a minimum flow rate for certain types of separator is now required; c) updated labelling requ
29、irement has been introduced. BS EN ISO 11143:2008ISO 11143:2008(E) vi ISO 2008 All rights reservedIntroduction Amalgam separators are items of dental equipment designed to retain amalgam particles carried by the waste water from the dental treatment centre, so as to reduce the number of amalgam part
30、icles and therefore the mass of amalgam entering the sewage system. Separation of the amalgam particles may be effected by the use of a centrifuge, sedimentation, filtration, or a combination of any of these methods. It is recognised that the test sample used to assess the efficiency of an amalgam s
31、eparator should have a particle size distribution which reflects the actual situation in dental treatment centres. The test sample used in this International Standard is based on investigations that have been carried out to determine the particle size distribution of amalgam particles in waste water
32、 from dental treatment centres (see Annex D). The principle of the test is that the effluent water from the amalgam separator is collected in a vessel. The collected effluent water, containing amalgam particles not retained by the amalgam separator, is filtered through a series of preweighed filters
33、. The filters, with the amalgam particles collected on them, are dried to a constant weight in a desiccator at room temperature and the total mass of collected particles is measured to determine the collection efficiency.

It specifies the efficiency of the amalgam separators in terms of the level of retenti

It also includes requirements for the safe functioning of the amalgam separator, for marking, and for instructions for use, operation and maintenance.

46、f this International Standard, amalgam separator systems are classified according to the method of separation into the following types: Type 1: centrifugal system Type 2: sedimentation system Type 3: filter system Type 4: any combination of Types 1, 2 and 3. This classification is applicable to all
47、amalgam separators, irrespective of whether the amalgam separator is included in every dental treatment centre or built as a central amalgam separator for one or several dental treatment centres.

48、ficiency of the amalgam separator shall be at least 95 % (mass fraction). The determination of the efficiency shall be carried out under empty and full conditions for all types of amalgam separators. Test in accordance with 9.1 to 9.6. 5.2 Warning system for collecting container The amalgam separato
49、r shall include a warning system to indicate the degree of filling at which the collecting container should be emptied or replaced. The warning signal shall be activated at the warning level and before the maximum fillable volume is reached. Test in accordance with 9.7. For Type 2 amalgam separators, the requirement for the warning system can be met if the manufacturer clearly defines procedures by which the proper function of the amalgam separator is ensured, giving controllable maintenance and recovery procedures as in 11.
