Looking for Explosibility Data?

The NFPA combustible dust standards provide explicit language around the sourcing of test data which make it essential for organizations to evaluate the explosibility of their own specific dust. This assures that the true hazard can be quantified and the appropriate protection measures put in place.

However, access to open source data can be highly beneficial when navigating the testing process, particularly when deciding on the right number of samples to submit for testing.

Visit the Combustible Dust Dashboard to view open source data and enjoy enhanced features by sharing your data.
