Dentistry — Dentifrices — Requirements, test methods and marking
ISO 11609:2017 specifies requirements for the physical and chemical properties of dentifrices and provides guidelines for suitable test methods. It also specifies requirements for the marking, labelling and packaging of dentifrices. ISO 11609:2017 applies to dentifrices, including toothpastes, destined to be used by the consumers on a daily basis with a toothbrush to promote oral hygiene. Specific qualitative and quantitative requirements for freedom from biological and toxicological hazards are not included in this document. These are covered in ISO 7405[1] and ISO 10993‑1[2].
Médecine bucco-dentaire — Dentifrices — Exigences, méthodes d’essai et marquage
ISO 11609:2017 spécifie des exigences relatives aux propriétés physiques et chimiques des dentifrices et donne des lignes directrices concernant les méthodes d'essai appropriées. Elle spécifie également des exigences relatives au marquage, à l'étiquetage et à l'emballage des dentifrices. ISO 11609:2017 s'applique aux dentifrices, y compris les pâtes dentifrices, destinés à être utilisés quotidiennement par les consommateurs avec une brosse à dents, dans le but de favoriser l'hygiène buccale. ISO 11609:2017 ne spécifie pas d'exigences qualitatives ou quantitatives spécifiques pour une absence de risques biologiques et toxicologiques. Celles-ci sont traitées dans l'ISO 7405[1] et l'ISO 10993‑1[2].

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 document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions
related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the World Trade
Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 106, Dentistry, Subcommittee SC 7, Oral care
products, in collaboration with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee
CEN/TC 55, Dentistry, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN
(Vienna Agreement).
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 11609:2017), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— edits and clarifications to align with the ISO directives;
— updates for abrasive availability;
— corrections for contacting the manufacturer of the cross-brushing machine;
— correcting Clause 2 and the Bibliography.
— 4.2 has been modified to use ISO 21392 for the analysis of five elemental impurities.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

Avant-propos
L’ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d’organismes nationaux
de normalisation (comités membres de l’ISO). L’élaboration des Normes internationales est en général
confiée aux comités techniques de l’ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire
partie du comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l’ISO participent également aux travaux. L’ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (IEC) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les procédures utilisées pour élaborer le présent document et celles destinées à sa mise à jour sont
décrites dans les Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 1. Il convient, en particulier, de prendre note des différents
critères d’approbation requis pour les différents types de documents ISO. Le présent document
a été rédigé conformément aux règles de rédaction données dans les Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 2
(voir www.iso.org/directives).
L’ISO attire l’attention sur le fait que la mise en application du présent document peut entraîner l’utilisation
d’un ou de plusieurs brevets. L’ISO ne prend pas position quant à la preuve, à la validité et à l’applicabilité de
tout droit de brevet revendiqué à cet égard. À la date de publication du présent document, l’ISO n’avait pas reçu

Introduction
Il convient que les dentifrices ne provoquent pas de réactions indésirables des tissus mous de la cavité
buccale lorsqu’ils sont utilisés conformément aux recommandations du fabricant en matière de fréquence et
de durée d’utilisation, et qu’ils ne causent pas d’effets secondaires connus.
Des lignes directrices concernant l’évaluation de l’efficacité déclarée ou implicite des dentifrices
