We are considering ATEX-rated equipment, designed for handling explosive dust particles. I need to find a test house who can provide me the ST classification from dust samples of one of our products to determine the appropriate system requirements.

Can anyone recommend a partner for this testing? 

ST classification ranges are:

ST0  No explosion

ST1  Weak explosion

ST2 Strong explosion

ST3 Very strong explosion

thanks in advance

I am not use if we are able to recommend actual companies on the forum however, if you search the internet for dust explosion analysis (I looked to see who came up) I have used a varity of the higher results in the past with no complaints as a couple of them are local to me on the south coast.
