    This document defines and explains combustibility testing of deposited dust samples. The test involves attempting to ignite a small strip of dust with a hot platinum wire to see if and how quickly a fire will start and spread. The results are classified on a scale of BZ1 to BZ6, ranging from does not catch fire to very rapid combustion. For melting substances, the test is also conducted after mixing the sample with 20% kieselgur to better indicate combustion behavior.

    Combustibility
    Definition These test checks whether and to what extent a fire started by external ignition can spread in deposited dust. Determination An attempt is made to ignite the dust sample heaped to form a strip of product about 2 cm wide and 4 cm long at one end with a glowing platinum wire with a temperature of about 1000 C. The wire is immersed only briefly in the dust sample, so that the latter is not heated. A 5 mm to 20 mm thick ceramic plate is used as a base. In the case of melting substances, a modified combustion test is also carried out on a sample to which 20 % in weight kieselgur has been added. The result frequently indicates obvious combustion behaviour. The combustibilityis evaluated by the class numbers BZ 1 to BZ 6.

    Combustibility Does not catch fire Catches fire briefly and extinguishes rapidly Local burning or glowing without spread Spread of a glowing fire Spread of an open fire Very rapid combustion

    BZ BZ 1 BZ 2 BZ 3 BZ 4 BZ 5 BZ 6

    Remark The values specified in brackets refer to the modified combustion test with melting substances after admixing 20 % by weight kieselgur. Back
