Overview
EN ISO 13397-3:1996 (adopted by CEN) is the international specification for H‑type dental scalers - a subset of periodontal instruments used to remove calculus and accretions from tooth surfaces. This part of the ISO 13397 series defines the required designs, dimensional limits and points of measurement for H‑type scalers, ensuring consistent form, interchangeability and safe clinical use. The standard was published as ISO 13397-3:1996 and is incorporated in national editions (for example SIST EN ISO 13397-3:2000).
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Specifies dimensional requirements for H‑type dental scalers (hand instruments for scaling).
- Design illustrations: Instrument shapes and variants are shown in figures (H‑types 3–9), covering chisel, cleoid and sickle profiles.
- Overall length: The maximum overall length for instruments is specified - 178 mm maximum irrespective of design.
- Measurement points: Tabled definitions identify critical points of measurement, including:
- blade width, thickness and length
- blade height and radius of curvature (reference dimension)
- shank height and length to first bend
- blade angle (glaze surface angle) and offset angle
- Dimensional tables: Numeric dimension ranges and tolerances for each H‑type variant are provided (figures and Table 1).
- Normative references: Uses terminology and dental instrument vocabulary from standards such as ISO 1942‑3 and general requirements in ISO 13397‑1.
Applications and who uses this standard
- Manufacturers and product designers: Ensure tooling and finished H‑type scalers meet dimensional criteria for performance, ergonomics and compatibility with sterilization/handles.
- Quality assurance and inspection teams: Use defined measurement points and tolerances to verify compliance during production and incoming inspection.
- Regulatory and procurement specialists: Reference the standard in technical specifications, conformity assessment and purchasing documents for dental instruments.
- Dental clinics and educators: Understand instrument types and standard dimensions for training, clinical selection and replacement ordering.
- Standards bodies and testing labs: Adopt and apply the specification for certification, harmonization and inter‑laboratory testing.

Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
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. IS0
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(I EC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard IS0 13397-3 was prepared by Technical Committee
lSO/TC 106, Dentistry, Subcommittee SC 4, Dental instruments.
IS0 13397 consists of the following parts, under the general title
Periodontal cure ttes, dental scalers and excavators:
- Part 7: General requirements
- Part 2: Periodontal curettes - Gr-type
- Part 3: Dental scalers - H-type
4: Dental excavators - Discoid-type

It i s anticipated that additional types of instruments will form the subject
of future parts.
