BS EN 50281-2-1 is a British standard which specifies two test methods for determining the minimum ignition temperatures of dust for the purpose of selecting electrical apparatus for use in the presence of combustible dust in accordance with EN 50281-1-2:1998 and constructed in accordance with EN 50281-1-1:1998.
The methods mentioned in BS EN 50281-2-1, are of a general nature, and may be used for purposes of comparison, but in certain industrial situations further tests may be necessary.
BS EN 50281-2-1 on electrical apparatus is helpful for:
Having access to reliable guidelines is essential to prepare and use quality test methods to determine the minimum ignition temperatures. BS EN 50281-2-1 provides manufactures with steps for the preparation of dust sample, test apparatus, test acceptance criteria, steps for reporting of results, and application of results which allows them to effectively test electrical apparatus.
