Amalgam separators
Amalgam separators serve to treat wastewater containing amalgam residues from treatment units in dental practices.
Regulatory framework
Amalgam separators fall under the Ordinance on the determination of the suitability of construction products and construction techniques under water law by means of verifications in accordance with the Building Codes of the federal states (WasBauPVO).
Cf. WasBauPVO, Section 1(1)(d) 'Amalgam separators for dental practices'.
Requirements for amalgam separators are described in DIN EN ISO 11143. However, this is not a harmonised standard under the Construction Products Regulation.
DIBt grants national technical approvals (abZ) in combination with general construction technique permits (aBG) for these systems. The abZ/aBG serve to verify the suitability of the systems both from a construction and water legislation point of view.
Note: Amalgam separators bearing the CE marking under other European Directives (e.g. the Medical Devices Directive or the Machinery Directive) are subject to a national technical approval in combination with a general construction technique permit.
The following approval principles are currently available:
