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.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. 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.

ISO 6876 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 106, Dentistry, Subcommittee SC 1, Filling and restorative materials.

This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 6876:2001), which has been technically revised. The main modifications are the following:

— the test procedures for flow, working time and solubility have been revised and a new limit value has been set;
— the test to determine dimensional change following setting has been removed.
