- What is BS EN 17199-1 - Respirable NOAA measurement about? Airborne NOAA and other respirable particles released during the handling and transportation of bulk materials are an important consideration for workers’ exposure. BS EN 17199-1 provides the methodology for measuring and characterizing the dustiness of a bulk material that contains or releases respirable NOAA and other respirable particles. BS EN 17199-1 specifies the environmental conditions, the sample handling procedure, and the method of calculating and presenting the results. Guidance is given on the choice of method to be used. BS EN 17199-1 is applicable to all bulk materials, including powders, granules, or pellets, containing or releasing respirable NOAA ad other respirable particles. Note: BS EN 17199-1 does not provide methods for assessing the release of particles during handling or mechanical reduction by machining (e.g., crushing, cutting, sanding, sawing) of nanocomposites. Who is BS EN 17199-1 - Respirable NOAA measurement for? BS EN 17199-1 on respirable NOAA measurement is beneficial for: Manufacturers of products that release respirable particles Health and safety inspectors Regulatory bodies Quality control personnel Why should you use BS EN 17199-1 - Respirable NOAA measurement ? The aim of dustiness testing is to simulate typical powder processing and handling in order to enable a comparison of the relative dust release potential of different bulk materials. BS EN 17199-1 provides a methodology that enables the quantification of dustiness in terms of health-related dust...
