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. 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. www.iso.org/patents

to Trade (TBT), see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 106, Dentistry, Subcommittee SC 6, Dental equipment.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 9680:2007), which has been technically
revised via the following changes:
a) The scope was expanded to consider any light source technology, including light emitting diodes (LEDs);
b) Normative references have been updated;
c) The requirement for the adjustable level of illuminance has been changed to eliminate an upper limit
on the minimum illuminance level and to reduce the lower limit on maximum illuminance to 15 000 lx;
d) The requirement for the Illumination pattern has been revised to specify a minimum size and shape
of the outer area of illumination, area B;
e) A requirement has been added to measure, plot and report the 10 %, 50 % and 75 % of maximum
illuminance isolux lines;
f) The CIE chromaticity coordinates for corner point 1 in Table 1 have been changed to set this corner
point within 0,02 of the Planckian locus in the CIE 1960 Uniform Chromaticity Space [i.e. (u,v)
chromaticity space];
g) The colour rendering index requirement was revised to exclude LED operating lights since current
LED operating lights may not meet the requirement and an accepted method for measuring the
colour rendering properties of white LEDs is not yet established;
h) In the requirement for ultraviolet light irradiance the lower limit of the wavelength range was
changed from 180 nm to 200 nm in order to reflect the measurement range of available radiometers;
i) A requirement for compatibility with light-activated restorative materials has been added;
j) The requirement for operating forces has been simplified;
k) The requirement for expelled parts has been revised;

m) A requirement on usability has been added;
n) Requirements for test conditions have been simplified;
o) Electrical tests have been deleted due to reference to IEC 60601-1:2005+A1:2012;
p) Optical tests have been clarified and a test for compatibility with light-activated restorative
materials has been added;
q) The requirements for instructions for use and technical description have been revised;
r) The requirements for marking on the outside of mains-operated operating lights have been revised;

requirement for graphical symbols;

ISO 9680:2014(E)
Introduction
The aim of this International Standard 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.
In this International Standard, 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 International Standard account has been taken of IEC 60598-1.
This International Standard refers to IEC 60601-1, the basic standard on safety of medical electrical
equipment, whereever relevant, by stating the respective clause numbers of IEC 60601-1.
This International Standard takes priority over IEC 60601-1 as specified in the individual Clauses of this
International Standard.
Only the specifications laid down in this International Standard are applicable.

The level of illuminance shall be adjustable between a minimum level and maximum level specified by
the manufacturer. The maximum level of illuminance shall be at least 15 000 lx.
NOTE Manufacturers are advised that there is indication in the dental ergonomics literature that a higher
[14]
specified level of illuminance up to a certain limit may be warranted. This requirement will be evaluated in
the next revision of this Standard and modified with respect to the lower limit and/or upper limit for maximum
illuminance, if appropriate, with consideration for current research.
The adjustment of illuminance may be either continuous or in discrete levels.
