Irradiance reduction and high radiant accumulated temperature will compromise the treatment results as there is a lack of curing output efficacy and safety awareness for powered polymerisation activators. Insufficient attention has been paid to the activator’s quality control, irradiance attenuation and radiant accumulated temperature excessive temperature rise during its lifetime. The present manuscript has been drafted by the Society of Dental Equipment, Chinese Stomatological Association to fill the quality control gap and guide the quality control process, following tested steps, using a metered radiometer and a thermometer to record the irradiance and radiant accumulated temperature separately. The testing result may indicate the equipment’s situation in service and provide information about the irradiance values and performance of the powered polymerisation activator for its usage and maintenance.
