This document specifies the requirements and test methods for sterilized absorbent points used in endodontic procedures. Absorbent points are marketed sterilized or non-sterilized. The requirements apply to absorbent points which have been sterilized once in a manner approved by the manufacturer. This document specifies numerical systems and a colour-coding system for designating the sizes of absorbent points. Clause 7 specifies the labelling and packaging needed, including the instructions for use. A claim by the manufacturer that the contents of the unopened pack are sterile is the responsibility of the manufacturer (see Table 2 ). This document does not specify requirements or test methods for sterility. NOTE 1 Reference to applicable national regulations can be made. Reference is made to internationally accepted pharmacopoeia. NOTE 2 National requirements can apply. Standards on methods of validating sterilization processes are also available: ISO 11137 - 1 , ISO 11137 - 2 and ISO 11137 - 3 .
