Overview
oSIST prEN ISO 17254:2026:2026 specifies requirements and test methods for coiled springs used in orthodontic appliances, focusing on their physical and mechanical characteristics, as well as packaging and labelling. This European and International standard is developed by CEN and ISO/TC 106/SC 1, aligning global best practices for dental materials-especially those integral for orthodontic treatments. The standard helps manufacturers, suppliers, and clinicians ensure product quality, compatibility, and compliance with safety regulations.
Key Topics
- Scope: Applies to individual coiled springs used in orthodontics. Excludes devices made of multiple coiled springs.
- Dimensional Definitions: Standardizes measurement of key features, including inner diameter, outer diameter, total spring length, wire cross section, and free length.
- Mechanical Properties: Stipulates measurement of elastic characteristics such as maximum extension, maximum compression, and spring load on the return cycle at specified intervals.
- Hazardous Elements: Limits and declares concentrations of cadmium, beryllium, lead, and nickel, helping to reduce health risks associated with dental materials.
- Test Methods: Defines procedures for sampling, dimensional accuracy, and mechanical property testing using calibrated apparatus under specified conditions.
- Packaging and Labelling: Details manufacturer obligations for providing accurate chemical composition, dimensional range, design type, mechanical properties, and necessary warnings about hazardous content.
Applications
ISO 17254:2026 is essential for:
- Manufacturers and Quality Control: Provides detailed criteria for production, batch testing, and ongoing quality assurance of orthodontic coil springs.
- Procurement and Supply Chain: Supports purchasing decisions by requiring clear labelling and specification of product characteristics, facilitating comparison between different suppliers and products.
- Clinicians and Dental Laboratories: Enables informed selection of orthodontic springs, thanks to standardized data on dimensions, mechanical performance, and biocompatibility.
- Regulatory Compliance: Assists organizations in meeting legal requirements for dental products, ensuring that hazardous substances are adequately controlled and declared.
Adopting this standard in practice means:
- Enhanced safety for patients using coil springs in orthodontic treatments
- Consistency in product performance for predictable clinical outcomes
- Easier global trade and market entry by meeting internationally recognized requirements

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.
