BS EN 15429-3:2015

What is BS EN 15429-3 – testing and evaluation of PM collection about?  

BS EN 15429-3 provides guidelines to test and evaluate the machine’s capability of collecting particulate matters.

BS EN 15429-3 contains various test methods to determine PM10 and PM2,5 efficiency of road sweepers. It helps to identify their ability to remove particulate matter from asphalt surfaces and reduce air pollution.

BS EN 15429-3 helps to determine the PM10 and PM25 ability of road sweepers to-

• Remove and Capture PM10 and PM2,5 particulate matter, and coarse fractions, from typical urban road surfaces.
• Minimize the amount of Airborne and entrained PM10 and PM2,5 particulate matter resulting from the sweeping process.

Who is BS EN 15429-3  - testing and evaluation of PM collection for? 

BS EN 15429-3 on testing and evaluation of PM collection is useful for: 

• Manufacturers of mechanical street sweepers
• Private parking lot owners
• Authorities concerned with road operation equipment and products
• Manufacturers of road sweeper technologies
• Government organizations
• Airport authorities

Why should you use BS EN 15429-3 - testing and evaluation of PM collection?

The government has taken initiatives to improve air quality. Excessive air pollution can have a harmful effect on health and cause respiratory issues.

Sweeper machines play a huge role in keeping the streets clean and disease-free. Therefore, the BS EN 15429-3 guidelines help the manufacturers to test the product to check its ability to consume the harmful PM10 and PM2,5 present in road dust components. 

The testing and evaluation guidelines of BS EN 15429-3 will help the users to calculate the efficiency of the sweeper on roads. Moreover, they will have a numerical assessment of the sweeper’s performance before it reaches the streets.

Using BS EN 15429-3 guidelines, you can comply with the laws and guidelines on air pollution set by the government. You can also participate in keeping air pollution in check and improving the citizen’s health.
