ISO 10650:2026

OVERVIEW

This document specifies requirements and test methods for powered polymerization activators in the 380 nm to 515 nm wavelength region intended for chairside use in polymerization of dental polymer-based materials.

This document is applicable to quartz-tungsten-halogen lamps and light-emitting diode (LED) lamps. Powered polymerization activators can be powered by an internal power supply (rechargeable battery powered) or can be powered by external (mains) power or can be powered by a dental unit. Lasers or plasma arc devices are not covered by this document.

This document does not apply to powered polymerization activators used in laboratory fabrication of indirect restorations, veneers, dentures or other oral dental appliances.
