PD CEN/TS 17274:2018

What is PD CEN/TS 17274 - Explosivity and flammability of powders containing nano-objects about?

PD CEN/TS 17274 discusses protocols for the explosivity and flammability of powders containing nano-objects nanotechnologies. PD CEN/TS 17274 provides protocol guidelines for determining explosivity and flammability characteristics of powders containing manufactured nano-objects.

PD CEN/TS 17274 supports you with these explosivity and flammability characteristics that are needed for safety data sheets for the safe storage, handling, and transport of any powder.

PD CEN/TS 17274  provides protocol guidelines concerning:

• The determination of flammability characteristics of powders containing nano-objects about sensitivity to ignition sources
• The ability of a powder containing nano-objects to generate an explosive atmosphere and the assessment of its explosion characteristics

Note: PD CEN/TS 17274 is not suitable for use with recognized explosives, such as gunpowder and dynamite, explosives which do not require oxygen for combustion, or substances or mixtures of substances that may under some circumstances similarly. Where any doubt exists about the existence of hazards due to explosive properties, it is best to seek expert advice.

Who is PD CEN/TS 17274 - Explosivity and flammability of powders containing nano-objects for?

PD CEN/TS 17274 on explosivity and flammability of powders containing nano-objects nanotechnologies is useful for:

• Manufactures of powders containing nano-objects
• Suppliers of powders containing nano-objects
• Test centres for nanotechnologies
• Regulatory bodies

Why should you use PD CEN/TS 17274 - Explosivity and flammability of powders containing nano-objects?

The powder is an assembly of discrete particles usually less than 1 mm in size. Nano-object is a discrete piece of material with one, two, or three external dimensions in the nanoscale. Powder containing nano-objects is a powder containing a specific relative amount of nano-objects in number or displaying a specific surface area per volume, above a specific threshold value.

PD CEN/TS 17274 guideline assists you with safe handling of powders containing nano-objects, preparation of samples, and characterization of samples for determining protocols for the explosivity and flammability of powders containing nano-objects (for transport, handling, and storage).

PD CEN/TS 17274 provides you test methods for pyrophoricity of a powder containing nano-objects, flammability characteristics in clouds, determination of explosion characteristics flammability characteristics in layers, and accumulations for determining protocols for the explosivity and flammability of powders containing nano-objects (for transport, handling, and storage).

This provides proper support while determining protocols for the explosivity and flammability of powders containing nano-objects and encourages standardizing these protocols.

In addition, it ensures safe transport, handling, and storage for powders containing nano-objects.
