1.1 General
This European Standard specifies general requirements for the
dust measurement of electric motoroperated tools supplied from mains or from batteries. This European Standard applies to those tools with and without
dust extraction unit where
dust such as mineral
dust containing silica or wood
dust is expected.
1.2 Types of dust
Dust is a disperse distribution of solid substances in gases, particularly air, resulting from mechanical
processes. According to EN 481, two size categories are to be differentiated: the
inhalable dust and
the
respirable dust fraction.
Inhalable dust refers to the entire inhalable fraction of the
dust through mouth and/or nose.
Respirable dust relates to the fraction of the
inhalable dust that can reach the pulmonary alveoli due to its small particle size.
