EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of NFPA 61 standard. NFPA 61 applies to grain elevators, nut processing, feed mills, pet food, etc. It covers all agricultural facilities, including bakeries, and food processing facilities such as confectionery.
NFPA 61 was developed to address industry-specific hazards and provides detailed prescriptive requirements for bucket elevators, conveyor belts, spray dryers and silos/bins, among others.
The 61 edition of NFPA 2020 was designed with several updates in mind, including updates to equipment-specific requirements and aligning with the requirements of NFPA 652.
Dust Hazard Analysis
A DHA is similar in many ways to a Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) in that it combines the evaluator(s) knowledge of both federal and industry standards, and the experience and process insights provided by facility personnel with potential hazards in industrial facilities.
The primary difference is that DHA evaluators must provide specific information regarding possible and potential flare scenarios at each site and current mitigation strategies that can be applied. This includes mechanical sparks, static electricity, electrical equipment, etc. Includes evaluation of potential ignition sources such as
Facility owner/operators, safety and health consultants, and law enforcement refer to NFPA 61 for better protection of life and property in mass agricultural processing facilities, animal feed manufacturing facilities, starch manufacturing facilities, and food manufacturing facilities such as bakeries, grain processing facilities.
NFPA 61, Standard for the Prevention of Fires and Dust Explosions in Agriculture and Food Processing Facilities, provides vital information on implementing an appropriate dust control program.
Eurolab provides industry-specific hazard safety measures to protect companies from explosion hazards under the Test Standard for the Prevention of Fires and Dust Explosions in Agriculture and Food Processing Plants.
