DIN EN 15051-1:2011-11

This document is Part 1 of a three part standard on the measurement of the dustiness of bulk materials.This document specifies the environmental conditions, the sample handling and analysis procedures and the method of calculating and presenting the results. Reasons are given for the need for more than one method and advice is given on the choice of method to be used. A classification scheme for dustiness is specified, to provide a standardised way to express and communicate the results to users of the bulk materials. Details of the scheme for each method are given in prEN 15051-2 (rotating drum method) and prEN 15051-3 (continuous drop method).This document is applicable to powdered, granular or pelletised materials.This document is not applicable to test the dust released during mechanical reduction of solid materials (e. g. cut, crushed) or to test application procedures for the materials.
