Full title and description
ISO 15087-6:2000 — Dental elevators — Part 6: Flohr elevators. Specifies the form, principal dimensions, marking and basic requirements for Flohr-type dental elevators used in tooth elevation and extraction procedures.
Abstract
This part of ISO 15087 provides dimensional specifications, identification/marking conventions and basic manufacturing requirements for Flohr dental elevators. It is a focused, short specification intended to ensure interchangeability, safe handling and consistent identification of Flohr elevators produced by different manufacturers. The publication has since been withdrawn and its subject matter consolidated into a later revision of the ISO 15087 series.

- Edition / version: Edition 1 (2000).
- Number of pages: 3.
Scope
ISO 15087-6:2000 defines the shape, essential dimensions and marking requirements specific to Flohr elevators (a subtype of dental elevators). It is intended to standardize basic characteristics so that clinicians, procurement professionals and manufacturers can rely on consistent form and identification for instruments described as Flohr elevators. The part focuses on dimensional and identification details rather than clinical technique or sterilization procedures, which are covered elsewhere.
Key topics and requirements
- Definition and designation of Flohr elevator variants and nominal sizes.
- Principal overall and working-end dimensions (lengths, blade widths, profiles) and tolerances.
- Marking/identification conventions for manufacturer traceability and size designation.
- Material and basic finish expectations to ensure safe handling and sterilizability (general, not prescriptive to a single alloy).
- Reference to the series’ general requirements (e.g., Part 1) for common criteria and conformity assessment.
Typical use and users
Used by dental instrument manufacturers (design and quality), dental procurement and supply organizations, hospital and dental clinic procurement officers, regulatory/standards professionals, and technical libraries. Clinicians consult the standard indirectly through procurement/specification and instrument labelling to ensure instruments meet recognized form and identification conventions.
Related standards
Other parts of the ISO 15087 series (general requirements and other elevator types), national adoptions (EN/DIN/BS/Ukrainian/Czech adoptions), and related dentistry instruments standards that address materials, sterilization resistance and general instrument requirements. The part has been withdrawn and its content incorporated into a later consolidated edition of ISO 15087.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: ISO 15087-6:2000 is the International Standard that specified the form, dimensions and marking conventions for Flohr-type dental elevators.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers principal dimensions, identification/marking and basic requirements needed to ensure consistent form and interchangeability for Flohr elevators. It does not provide clinical guidance or detailed sterilization protocols.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Instrument manufacturers, procurement professionals, standards and regulatory bodies, and dental supply chains use the standard when specifying, producing or verifying Flohr elevators.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: ISO 15087-6:2000 has been withdrawn and its subject matter consolidated into a later revision of the ISO 15087 series. Users should refer to the current consolidated ISO 15087 edition for up-to-date requirements.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: Yes — it is one part of the ISO 15087 series (dental elevators). Other parts cover general requirements and other elevator types; the series has since been revised and consolidated.
