This standard classifies denture adhesives for use by wearers of removable dentures; it also specifies the requirements for the products, test methods and instructions for the use of such products. This standard applies to denture adhesives used by the public and does not include prescription or dental lining materials used by professional dentists. This standard does not contain qualitative and quantitative requirements for possible biological hazards, but it is recommended to refer to ISO 7405 and ISO 10993-1 when evaluating possible biological hazards.
