What is PD CEN/TR 16386 - Guidelines for handling methacrylate-based materials about?
PD CEN/TR 16386 is a technical report on dentistry. PD CEN/TR 16386 layouts guidelines for handling all methacrylate-based materials for dental purposes used in dental laboratories to maintain the safety of the occupational environment.
The intention of PD CEN/TR 16386 is to lower the risk of adverse effects on skin and airways when working with such materials.
Who is PD CEN/TR 16386 - Guidelines for handling methacrylate-based materials for?
PD CEN/TR 16386 on the guidelines for handling methacrylate-based materials is useful for:
- Manufacturers of methacrylate-based materials
- Dental laboratories
- Personnel handling methacrylate-based materials
- Regulatory authorities
Why should you use PD CEN/TR 16386 - Guidelines for handling methacrylate-based materials?
Methacrylate is an ester of methacrylic acid. The rationale for the group was concern about occupational health issues for personnel working with methacrylate-based products in dentistry. These materials (e.g., removable denture and orthodontic base materials, tray materials, dental repair materials, etc.) may pose a risk because of the presence of methacrylate monomers. Therefore, the guideline for handling methacrylate-based materials in dental laboratories is important.
PD CEN/TR 16386 guideline assists you with risk management, risk assessment, health surveillance, medical advice, reduction of risks, and eye protection for handling the methacrylate-based materials in the dental laboratory.
With obedience and compliance to PD CEN/TR 16386, you can efficiently handle methacrylate-based materials in the dental laboratory and ensure the safety of occupational areas as well as personnel handling methacrylate-based materials.
