Safety of machinery - Evaluation of the emission of airborne hazardous substances - Part 8: Room method for the measurement of the pollutant concentration parameter (ISO 29042-8:2011, IDT)
This Malaysian Standard specifies a room method for the measurement of the pollutant concentration parameter of a given airborne hazardous substance from machines, located in a test room and operating the machines under defined conditions. This method is applicable only to machines with a local exhaust ventilation with an air flow rate >=500 m3/h and machines without recirculated air. Measurement of the pollutant concentration parameter of a machine can serve for the: a) evaluation of the performance of a machine;
b) evaluation of the improvement of the machine;
c) comparison of machines within different groups of machines with the same intended use (such groups being defined by the function and materials processed)
d) ranking of machines from the same group according to their pollutant concentration parameters;
e) Determination of the state of the art of a machine with respect to its pollutant concentration parameter
