18、igences gnrales et mthodes dessai EN ISO 20127:2005ii iiiForeword 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 committee
19、s. 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 Inter
20、national 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 technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International St
21、andards 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 sub
22、ject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 20127 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 106, Dentistry, Subcommittee SC 7, Oral hygiene products. EN ISO 20127:2005iv Introduction Powered toothbrushes are used for the removal of den
23、tal plaque and oral debris in order to facilitate oral hygiene. EN ISO 20127:20051Dentistry Powered toothbrushes General requirements and test methods 1 Scope This International Standard specifies requirements and test methods for the physical properties of powered toothbrushes in order to promote t
24、he safety of these products for their intended use. Specifically excluded are other types of powered oral hygiene devices (such as powered interdental brushes) and manual toothbrushes. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. F
25、or dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

27、42 and the following apply. 3.1 powered toothbrush hand-held electrically-powered appliance, the brush head of which carries filaments, used primarily for cleaning surfaces within the oral cavity 3.2 brush head fixed or removable working end of an electrically-powered toothbrush to which the filamen
28、ts are attached 3.3 filament single strand within the brush head 3.4 tuft group of filaments gathered together and attached to the brush head EN ISO 20127:20052 3.5 tuft removal force force required to remove one tuft from the brush head 4 Requirements 4.1 Pass-fail criteria Eight electrically-power
29、ed toothbrushes shall be tested. If none of the eight sampled powered toothbrushes fail, the powered toothbrush passes. If one toothbrush does not meet the minimum requirement, another eight powered toothbrushes shall be tested. If no more toothbrushes fail, the powered toothbrush passes. If a total
30、 of two or more powered toothbrushes of the sixteen fail, the powered toothbrush fails. 4.2 Physical inspection The powered toothbrush, its components and all accessories shall be intact and free of visible contamination and sharp or rough surfaces when examined according to 5.3. 4.3 Electrical safe
31、ty All the powered toothbrushes and related accessories shall conform to the requirements described in IEC 60335-1 and IEC 60335-2-52. 4.4 Tuft retention The tuft removal force shall not be less than 15 N when tested according to 5.4. 4.5 Mechanical strength All powered toothbrushes and related acce
32、ssories shall conform to the requirements described in IEC 60335-1:2004, Clause 21 and IEC 60335-2-52. 4.6 Resistance to chemical challenge After being subjected to a chemical challenge test according to 5.5, the brush head shall conform to the requirements of the spring operated impact test as desc
33、ribed in IEC 60335-1:2004, Clause 21, and the brush head shall be operational and free of sharp or rough surfaces when examined. 5 Test methods 5.1 Sampling The powered toothbrushes obtained for testing shall be as manufactured and not modified in any way except as specified for this International S
34、tandard. Eight powered toothbrushes of each type shall be tested. 5.2 General test conditions All tests shall be conducted using dry brushes at (23 5) C and relative humidity (50 10) %. 5.3 Physical inspection Inspection of the powered toothbrush and related accessories shall be performed using norm
35、al visual acuity without magnification. Tactile inspection shall also be performed to detect sharp or rough surfaces. EN ISO 20127:200535.4 Tuft retention 5.4.1 Apparatus 5.4.1.1 Gripping unit, to secure the brush head, having a structure such that compressive force is not induced on the brush head
36、(Figure A.1). 5.4.1.2 Clamp for securely holding all of the filaments in one tuft, for example a tuft gripping clamp (see Figure A.2). A collet chuck can also be used. 5.4.1.3 Apparatus for applying, measuring and indicating the removal force, a digital force gauge or a universal testing machine (fo
37、rce range from 5 N to 50 N, accurate to 0,1 N and a range of pulling speed from 20 mm/min to 100 mm/min). 5.4.2 Procedure Place the brush in the gripping unit (5.4.1.1) and lock into place so that the clamp (5.4.1.2) pulls the tuft along the long axis of the tuft without any twisting. The brush head
38、 shall not be compressed during and after the placement. Place the clamp on the filament tuft. Be sure to clamp all of the filaments from one tuft only; do not include filaments from the surrounding tufts. The filaments from one tuft should be secured at approximately the midpoint of the tuft length
39、. Record the force required to pull out the tuft using the testing apparatus (5.4.1.3). Test two tufts of each tuft type (if available). The tufts should be non-adjacent. 5.5 Resistance to chemical challenge 5.5.1 Apparatus and chemicals 5.5.1.1 Apparatus for mixing the chemical challenge, for examp
40、le stirring bar or mixer. 5.5.1.2 Container which can be sealed and is chemically inert, for example a polypropylene bottle. 5.5.1.3 Chemicals, of minimum purity and of the amounts listed in the Table 1.

Add 250 g water (ISO 3696:1987, Grade 3)
42、and stir well to obtain a clear solution. Add 200 g glycerine and 432 g water (ISO 3696:1987, Grade 3) and stir to obtain a clear solution. Place the removable brush head in the chemical-challenge solution. Ensure that the portion of the head containing filaments and at least 80 % of the total lengt
43、h of the removable head is immersed. If the head is not EN ISO 20127:20054 removable, immerse the portion of the head containing filaments and an additional 80 % of the portion of the head exposed to a chemical challenge during normal toothbrushing. After immersion seal container. After 24 h without
44、 agitation, remove the toothbrush, rinse with water (ISO 3696:1987, Grade 3) and shake off excess water. Perform the spring-operated impact test as described in IEC 60335-1:2004, Clause 21. 6 Test report The test report shall contain the following information: a) identification of the powered toothb
45、rush; b) results and the units of measure used; c) any unusual features noted during the test; d) reference to this International Standard (ISO 20127:2004); e) statement of conformance with this International Standard. 7 Marking and labelling 7.1 Powered toothbrush components The powered toothbrush,
46、 all components and related accessories shall be marked in accordance with IEC 60335-1 and IEC 60335-2-52.
