Potentially explosive atmospheres. Explosion prevention and protection. Determination of minimum ignition energy of dust/air mixtures
This EN specifies a method of test to determine the minimum ignition energy of a dust/air mixture by an electrically generated spark.
It is intended that the dust be tested in a form representing conditions of actual use so that assessment of the hazard present can be made.
Ignition energies determined by this method would be compared with ignition by a pointed source.
This EN is applicable to the determination of the minimum ignition energy of a combustible dust dispersed in air, referred to hereafter as a 'dust/air mixture'.
