ISO 11143

The ISO 11143 standard specifies the performance and testing requirements for amalgam separators used in dental practices. Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), this standard is vital in ensuring the effective removal of amalgam particles from dental wastewater. This contributes to reducing the environmental impact of mercury and other materials present in dental amalgams, safeguarding both the environment and public health.

ISO 11143 sets forth detailed guidelines on the design, efficiency, and performance of amalgam separators, ensuring that they capture and retain a high percentage of amalgam particles before wastewater is released into the environment. The standard also addresses safety and maintenance procedures, making it easier for dental practices to comply with environmental regulations related to mercury disposal.
