Combustible Dust Testing
Get the Data You Need to Control Risk, Ensure Compliance, and Protect What Matters
Combustible dust poses serious, often underestimated risks from catastrophic explosions to regulatory violations and business interruptions. DEKRA’s combustible dust testing services help you detect hazards early, comply with NFPA 660 and 652, and implement control measures that save lives and protect assets. With decades of process safety experience and ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratories, DEKRA is the trusted partner for companies managing flammable powders, fibers, and other combustible dust risks across manufacturing, processing, and storage environments.
Why Combustible Dust Testing Matters
Failure to understand the explosibility or ignition sensitivity of your materials can lead to:
- Dust explosions or flash fires
- Injuries, fatalities, and facility loss
- Legal liability and fines
- Permitting delays and shutdowns
- Production interruptions and reputational damage
Whether you're launching a new process, performing a Dust Hazard Analysis (DHA), or responding to a compliance gap, our combustible dust testing helps you take the right steps with confidence.
