ISO 16409:2016 PDF Download

A standard called ISO 16409:2016 focuses on the use of manual interdental brushes for oral hygiene in dentistry. For performance criteria, the standard specifies precise requirements and test procedures. Interdental brushes with a circular brush head cross-section and a wired stem with inserted filaments must meet these requirements. The associated information, including packaging labeling and use instructions from the manufacturer, is also covered by the standard.

It is significant to note that interdental brushes with a plastic core are not covered by ISO 16409:2016. Powered interdental brushes, manual toothbrushes, dental floss, tapes, and strings are also not included in the standard. It is intended especially for interdental brushes with filaments.
