IEC 61340-4-4 Electrostatics, Part 4-4: Standard Test Methods for Special Applications

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC 61340-4-4 testing. IEC 61340-4-4 specifies requirements for flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs) between 0,25 m3 and 3 m3 in volume, intended for use in hazardous explosive atmospheres. An explosive atmosphere may be created by the contents in the FIBC or may exist outside of the FIBC.

Requirements include:

• Classification and labeling of FIBC;
• Classification of inner linings;
• Specifying test methods for each type of FIBC, inner lining, label and document pockets;
• Design and performance requirements for FIBC, inner liners, labels and document pockets;
• Safe use of FIBC in different areas defined for explosive atmospheres (including those with inner liners), areas where flammable dust is present or may be present (IEC 60079-10-2) and explosive gas atmospheres (IEC 60079-10-1);
• Procedures for type qualification and certification of FIBC, including the safe use of inner liners.
