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 on 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 the following
URL: www .iso .org/iso/foreword .html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 106, Dentistry, Subcommittee SC 4, Dental
instruments.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 3630-1:2008), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— reorganization with the intention of presenting the requirements and test methods for endodontic
instruments in an orderly manner;
— change of the main element of the title of the ISO 3630 series to "Endodontic instruments";
— addition of requirements for the current use of Nickel-Titanium;
— clarification of the option for the handle shape for the manufacturer;
— addition of the new identification symbols in Figure 10.
A list of all parts in the ISO 3630 series can be found on the ISO website.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A
complete listing of these bodies can be found at www .iso .org/members .html.

Introduction
This document specifies general requirements and test methods for endodontic instruments. Other
parts of the ISO 3630 series provide the specific requirements and test methods for six areas of
endodontics (enlargers, compactors, auxiliary instruments, shaping and cleaning instruments, numeric
coding system and ultrasonic inserts).
With current use of Nickel-Titanium alloys for manufacture of endodontic instruments a need for
adequate expertise in their safe use is recommended. This document does not attempt to provide
information for proper use of any instruments.
The sizes of the endodontic obturating points (cones) specified in ISO 6877 should be aligned with the
corresponding sizes for endodontic instruments specified in all parts of the ISO 3630 series.
