BS EN ISO/IEC 80079-20-2:2016 describes the test methods for the identification of combustible
dust and combustible dust layers in order to permit classification of areas where such
materials exist for the purpose of the proper selection and installation of electrical and
mechanical equipment for use in the presence of combustible dust.The standard atmospheric conditions for determination of characteristics of combustible dusts
are:temperature -20 °C to +60 °C,pressure 80 kPa (0,8 bar) to 110 kPa (1,1 bar) andair with normal oxygen content, typically 21 % v/v.The test methods defined do not apply to:recognized explosives, propellants (e.g. gunpowder, dynamite), or substances or mixtures
of substances which may, under some circumstances, behave in a similar manner ordusts of explosives and propellants that do not require atmospheric oxygen for
combustion, or to pyrophoric substances.Cross References:ASTM 1491-06EN 13821EN 14034-1ISO 4225ISO/IEC 80079-34VDI 2263All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
