Dentistry - Manual Toothbrushes - General Requirements and Test Methods
Also Known As:
The goal of the DIN EN ISO 20126 standard is to set requirements and methods for testing manual toothbrushes. Its main goal is to make sure that these toothbrushes adhere to strict physical property standards for the benefit of user safety.
Manual interdental brushes and powered oral hygiene tools are expressly excluded from this standard because they are governed by different international standards. In light of this, DIN EN ISO 20126 only addresses manual toothbrushes.
The standard specifies test procedures and evaluation standards for assessing the physical characteristics of manual toothbrushes. These standards could cover elements like bristle stiffness, head size, handle toughness, and other aspects of the design and functionality of the toothbrush. This standard assists producers and users of manual toothbrushes in ensuring the effectiveness and safety of those products by offering clear instructions and test procedures.
