Testing capabilities
Turbulent dust and driving dust/sand
For listed non-explosive stores and equipment, page 1 lists turbulent dust and driving dust/sand. Separate chamber-temperature and duct-velocity combinations are published below. Confirm the required method, specimen, dust/sand, airflow and conditioning. These are not simultaneous maximum operating conditions.
Scheduled solids and water ingress tests
The schedule lists IP3X, IP4X, IP5X, IP5KX, IP6X and IP6KX, plus IPX4, IPX5, IPX6, IPX6K, IPX7 up to 1 m immersion and IPX8 submersion. References include IEC 60529:1989 with Amendment 2:2013, BS EN 60529:1992+A2:2013 and ISO 20653:2023/2013. IPX9K is not listed in this schedule.
Component cleanliness extraction and analysis
For listed non-explosive stores/equipment, page 3 lists extraction by pressure rinsing, agitation and ultrasonic techniques, particle sizing/counting by microscopy, and mass by gravimetry. All use ISO 16232:2018 and TM101, with respective 2007 parts 3, 2, 4, 7 and 6. No detection threshold or numerical particle-size range is supplied.
General-ventilation air-filter performance
Page 4 lists pressure drop and efficiency to BS EN ISO 16890-2:2022, dust loading to -3:2024/-3:2016, and discharged performance to -4:2022, with TM62, TM63, TM64, TM65 and TM67 as applicable. BS EN 779:2012 is also listed, while 779:2002 is marked withdrawn. DEHS aerosol charging to the Boltzmann equilibrium charge level is not carried out.
Equipment and published limits
| Specification | Published value | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Separate dust/sand chamber combinations | Turbulent dust 6.0 × 5.5 × 4.0 m. Driving dust/sand 3.8 × 4.0 × 2.6 m at 110°C, separately 12.5 × 6.0 × 4.0 m at 71°C | Page 1 maximum chamber sizes and their stated temperature combinations. These are not universal specimen dimensions or a high-temperature limit for the larger chamber. |
| Separate driving-test duct and velocity statements | Maximum test section 300 mm diameter. Typical maximum velocities 60 m/s with 150 mm duct, separately 30 m/s with 300 mm duct | Page 1 pairs each typical maximum velocity with its duct diameter. No 60 m/s through the 300 mm section or simultaneous chamber/load/airflow maximum is inferred. |
Access and contact
Use sales@particletechnology.com or +44 1283 520365, matching the owner contact page and schedule, or the owner’s enquiry form. Agree the material/specimen, fixture and dimensions, exact method edition, conditioning and exposure, acceptance criteria, witnessing, accredited report requirements, quotation and programme. The schedule applies to the Hatton main address only.

Standards and accreditation
- UKAS 4109 and ISO/IEC 17025:2017
- The current result links issue 024 dated 6 January 2025. Accreditation follows the exact Hatton site, material and method rows. The owner’s wider services and advertised IPX9K work do not add a row to this schedule or establish unrestricted accredited scope.
- Printed method editions and filter exclusions
- The retained rows include ISO 20653:2023/2013, ISO 16232:2018 and specified 2007 parts with TM101, plus the stated ISO 16890 editions and filter methods. The schedule marks BS EN 779:2002 withdrawn and excludes DEHS aerosol charging to the Boltzmann equilibrium charge level. Confirm the required procedure and report status with the laboratory.
What to confirm with the facility
- The schedule restricts testing to Unit 1 in Hatton. Non-explosive material blocks, general-ventilation air-filter scope, separate dust chamber/duct combinations and filter exclusions remain method-specific. No combined maximum or unrestricted specimen capacity is inferred.
- The owner advertises IPX9K and historical immersion/pressure-washer equipment, while IPX9K is not listed in the current schedule. No owner-only numerical tank capacity or additional accredited ingress code is allocated. Wider analytical, test-dust manufacturing and generic approval statements do not extend retained rows.
- Provide the specimen configuration, dimensions/mass, contamination or exposure objective, exact standard and report requirements so the provider can confirm suitability, preparation and cost.

Sources and review
Reviewed by Arc on 1 October 2026 in Europe/London using five fresh official sources. All four complete pages of current UKAS 4109 issue 024 were visually inspected. Exact Unit 1 Hatton main-site-only identity, material blocks, four selected groups, separate dust/sand chamber-temperature and duct-velocity pairs, exact ingress codes and filter exclusions are mapped. BS EN 779:2002 remains marked withdrawn and the DEHS Boltzmann charging exclusion is retained. Owner IPX9K and historical tank/washer claims do not establish additional scheduled accreditation or allocated numerical capacity. Original bodies, headers, retrieval metadata, titles, canonicals, date metadata, extraction and full page renders are preserved. Issue date 6 January 2025 is distinct from PDF creation/modification on 7 January 2025 and this review. Owner WebPage/Article dates are retained separately, while UKAS directory-template dates do not date the result. Earlier discovery remains unchanged, with the schedule byte-identical and the current homepage body differing. Imported postcode coordinates are cleared.
