DIN ISO TS 16506 DIN SPEC 19407 E 2018-03 PDF

Full title and description

STB DIN ISO TS 16506 DIN SPEC 19407 E 2018-03 — Dentistry — Polymer-based luting materials containing adhesive components (ISO/TS 16506:2017); text in German and English. This reference combines the international technical specification (ISO/TS 16506:2017, corrected version 2018-03) with the corresponding German/DIN pre-standard designation (DIN SPEC 19407 / DIN ISO/TS adoption).

Abstract

Specifies test methods and information on bond strength to dentine and on the physical and chemical performance of polymer‑based luting materials that contain adhesive components. The document covers materials supplied for mechanical or hand mixing (including auto‑mixing tips), for self‑curing and/or external energy activation, intended for cementation or fixation of restorations (inlays, onlays, veneers, posts, crowns, bridges). Excluded are polymer luting materials without adhesive components and materials intended solely for veneering sub‑frames.

General information

• Status: Adopted / published as an ISO Technical Specification (ISO/TS 16506:2017, corrected 2018-03); adopted/handled in German standards workflow as DIN SPEC 19407 (draft/pre‑standard stage) and later published as DIN ISO/TS 16506 editions.
• Publication date: ISO/TS original publication July 2017 (Edition 1); corrected version March 2018; DIN listings show German publication/adoption activity in 2018 (03/2018) and a later DIN ISO/TS republication in May 2021.
• Publisher: International: ISO (International Organization for Standardization); National adoption/publisher: Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) for the DIN/DIN SPEC editions.
• ICS / categories: 11.060.10 (Dental materials / Dentistry).
• Edition / version: ISO/TS 16506:2017 (Edition 1) — corrected version 2018-03; DIN references: DIN SPEC 19407 (2018-03 draft/pre‑standard) and later DIN ISO/TS 16506 republications (noted 2021 edition in DIN catalogs).
• Number of pages: ISO/TS original: 41 pages (ISO record). DIN catalog entries indicate different print/adoption formats (draft listing showing 97 pages for early draft package; later DIN ISO/TS published edition indicates ~52 pages depending on edition/format).

Scope

Provides standardized test methods and information for evaluating polymer‑based self‑adhesive and adhesive-containing luting materials used for dental cementation. It defines required performance characteristics, specimen preparation and conditioning, bond strength testing to dentine, and physicochemical property tests applicable to materials intended for cementing indirect restorations and prosthetic components. The document explicitly excludes polymer luting materials that do not contain adhesive components and materials intended for veneering sub‑frames.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and classification of polymer‑based luting materials containing adhesive components.
• Requirements and test methods for bond strength to dentine (sample preparation, substrate conditioning, test procedures).
• Physical and chemical performance tests (degree of conversion, water sorption/solubility, mechanical properties relevant to luting applications).
• Instructions on mixing forms and activation modes (self‑curing, light/energy activation, mechanical/hand mixing, auto‑mixing delivery).
• Limits and exclusions (materials without adhesive components; materials for veneering sub‑frames — refer to ISO 4049 and ISO 10477 for related scope).

Typical use and users

Used by dental materials manufacturers (product development, quality control), testing and certification laboratories, dental researchers, regulatory bodies assessing conformity and safety of luting cements, and dentists/clinical researchers referencing standardized performance and test criteria for adhesive luting materials.

Related standards

Relevant related standards and documents include ISO 4049 (dental polymer restorative materials), ISO 10477 (polymer-based crown and bridge materials), and other dental materials test standards. The DIN adoption process and DIN SPEC cross‑references may list additional national guidance and related DIN/EN standards for dental materials.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO/TS 16506 is a Technical Specification that defines test methods and performance information for polymer‑based luting materials that contain adhesive components; DIN SPEC 19407 and subsequent DIN ISO/TS listings are the German/DIN adoption and publication references for the same technical specification.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers specimen preparation, bond strength testing to dentine, and selected physical and chemical property tests for adhesive-containing polymer luting materials intended for cementation of indirect restorations. Materials without adhesive components and materials for veneering sub‑frames are excluded.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Product developers and manufacturers of dental luting cements, independent test laboratories, conformity assessment bodies, dental researchers and, to a lesser extent, clinicians who consult standards for material selection or research validation.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The ISO technical specification was published in 2017 with a corrected version dated 2018‑03; ISO indicates the document remains the published TS (reviewed status on the ISO record). Nationally, DIN issued related draft/DIN SPEC material in 2018 and shows later DIN ISO/TS republications (catalog entries note a May 2021 DIN ISO/TS edition). Users should confirm the exact national edition and its current status before relying on a specific printed version.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It sits within the family of dental materials standards (ICS 11.060.10) and cross‑references related ISO standards such as ISO 4049 and ISO 10477 for other polymer dental materials and applications. It is a Technical Specification (TS) rather than a full ISO International Standard, which reflects its scope and development status.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Polymer‑based luting materials, adhesive components, self‑adhesive, bond strength, dentine, dental cementation, ISO/TS 16506, DIN SPEC 19407.
