Title (German)

Arbeitsplatzatmosphäre - Routineverfahren zur Bestimmung des Staubungsverhaltens von Schüttgütern - Teil 3: Verstaubung in ruhender Luft

Overview

A routine method for determining dustiness is defined that may be used to simulate dust formation processes in the baking industry under practical conditions. The method provides parameters for the dustiness of the inhalable fraction and the alveolar fraction of the airborne particles. If necessary the thoracic fraction may also be determined. Granulometric and other parameters are determined to characterize the test material. The method applies to the determination of the dustiness of bakery-type raw materials and may also be used to determine the dustiness of other powdery materials. This document does not apply to measurements of the dustiness of bulk materials for which compliance with the requirements of DIN EN 15051 shall be demonstrated. In the course of the editorial revision of the previous edition, the existing content-related difference from the standard DIN EN 15051 has been reworded in terms of language and references to it were rearranged in accordance with the new standard structure of DIN EN 15051 (available as a three-part series of standards since 2014). In addition, reference has been made to the terminology standard DIN EN 1540 with regard to the terms used in the standard. Normative and informative references have been updated where necessary. The present document has been prepared by Working Group NA 095-03-01-01 AK "Staub" ("Particulate matter") of NA 095-03-01 AA "Messstrategien und Anforderungen an Messverfahren" ("Measurement strategies and requirements for test methods") at DIN Standards Committee Safety Design Principles (NASG).
