Foreword
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 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 liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn 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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to
the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 106, Dentistry, Subcommittee SC 6,
Dental equipment, in collaboration with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical
Committee CEN/TC 55, Dentistry, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between
ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 9680:2014), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— normative references have been updated;
— requirements and test methods for the illumination pattern, illuminance in patient’s eyes, colour
fidelity and photobiological hazards have been updated.

Introduction
This document provides the dentist and his staff with means to enable them to work with optimum
visual ease and comfort, i.e. a visual acuity of 90 % to 100 % according to zone, without adversely
affecting their perception of colour or causing excessive fatigue or photobiological injury.
In this document, the safety of an operating light is assessed in combination with its power supply. Such
power supplies may be incorporated in dental units or dental patient chairs.
Any item of equipment recommended by the manufacturer for use in conjunction with an operating
light should not render the equipment unsafe nor affect its qualities adversely.
IEC 60598-1 has been taken into account during the preparation of this document.
This document refers to IEC 60601-1, the basic standard on safety of medical electrical equipment,
wherever relevant, by stating the respective clause numbers of IEC 60601-1.
This document takes priority over IEC 60601-1 as specified in the individual clauses of this document.
Only the specifications laid down in this document are applicable.

Foreword
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 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 liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn 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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www .iso .org/

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 106, Dentistry, Subcommittee SC 6, Dental
equipment.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 9680:2014), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— updated normative references;
— updated requirements and test methods for the illumination pattern, illuminance in patient’s eyes,
colour fidelity and photobiological hazards.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

Introduction
The aim of this document is to provide the dentist and his staff with means to enable them to work
with optimum visual ease and comfort, i.e. a visual acuity of 90 % to 100 % according to zone, without
adversely affecting their perception of colour or causing excessive fatigue or photobiological injury.
In this document, the safety of an operating light is assessed in combination with its power supply. Such
power supplies may be incorporated in dental units or dental patient chairs.
Any item of equipment recommended by the manufacturer for use in conjunction with an operating
light should not render the equipment unsafe nor affect its qualities adversely.
In preparing this document account has been taken of IEC 60598-1.
This document refers to IEC 60601 1, the basic standard on safety of medical electrical equipment,
wherever relevant, by stating the respective clause numbers of IEC 60601-1.
This document takes priority over IEC 60601 1 as specified in the individual Clauses of this document.
Only the specifications laid down in this document are applicable.
