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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 9714-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 150, Implants for surgery, Subcommittee SC 5,
Osteosynthesis and spinal devices.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 9714-1:1991), which has been technically revised.
ISO 9714 consists of the following parts, under the general title Orthopaedic drilling instruments:
— Part 1: Drill bits, taps and countersink cutters

Orthopaedic drilling instruments —
Part 1:
Drill bits, taps and countersink cutters
1 Scope
This part of ISO 9714 specifies materials and mechanical properties, and dimension and marking requirements
for drill bits, taps and countersink cutters made of stainless steel for use in orthopaedic surgery with bone
screws specified in ISO 5835.
NOTE The interrelationship of International Standards dealing with bone screws, bone plates and relevant tools is
shown in Annex A.
This part of ISO 9714 is not applicable to self-drilling pins, such as those used in external fixation, and self-
drilling guide pins.

Annex A
(informative)
Interrelationship of International Standards dealing with bone screws,
bone plates and relevant tools
lt has been decided that the set of International Standards dealing with bone screws, bone plates and relevant
tools should be divided into two parallel series. The basis of the division into two series is the essentially
different designs of the screw threads of the bone screws (HA and HB type screws as opposed to HC and HD
type screws).
A simplified schematic guide illustrating the interrelationship between screws, plates and tools covered by the
parallel series of International Standards is given in Figure A.1.
