Introduction
This part of ISO 9917 has been prepared in order to present the requirements and test methods for
cements in which setting is achieved by a combination of an acid-base reaction and polymerization.
The polymerization component of the reaction may be activated by mixing different components or
through application of energy from an external source. As far as possible, test methods employed
within this part of ISO 9917 have been harmonized with those used in ISO 4049 and ISO 9917-1.
Specific qualitative and quantitative requirements for freedom from biological hazard are not included
in this part of ISO 9917, but it is recommended that reference be made to ISO 109931 and ISO 7405 when assessing possible biological or toxicological hazards.
1 Scope
