DIN EN 15051-3
Workplace exposure - Measurement of the dustiness of bulk materials - Part 3: Continuous drop method; German version EN 15051-3:2013

Title (German)

Exposition am Arbeitsplatz - Messung des Staubungsverhaltens von Schüttgütern - Teil 3: Verfahren mit kontinuierlichem Fall; Deutsche Fassung EN 15051-3:2013

Overview

The DIN EN 15051 standard series establishes test methods that classify the dustiness, in terms of health-related fractions, of solid bulk materials. The dustiness classification is intended to provide users (for instance, manufacturers, producers, occupational hygienists and workers) with information on the potential for dust emissions when the bulk material is handled or processed in workplaces. It provides the manufacturers of bulk materials with information that can help to improve their products. It allows the users of the bulk materials to assess the effects of pre-treatments, and also to select less dusty products, if available. Although this document does not discuss the analysis of dust released from bulk materials (except in terms of health-related fractions), the test method produces samples with the potential for chemical analysis of the contents. This third part of the DIN EN 15051 standard series specifies the continuous drop test apparatus and associated test method for the reproducible production of dust from a bulk material under standard conditions. Moreover, the measurement of the inhalable, thoracic and respirable fractions of this dust is specified or reference is made for this purpose to existing European Standards. The standard has been prepared in CEN/TC 137 "Assessment of workplace exposure to chemical and biological agents" (secretariat: DIN). The responsible German standardization committee is Working Group NA 095-03-01-01 AK "Staub" ("Particulate matter") of Working Committee "Messstrategien und Anforderungen an Messverfahren"("Measurement strategies and requirements for test methods") of NASG.
