Ingress Protection as a control method to meet QGN 34
The Queensland Coal Inspectorate has recently released Queensland Guidance Note 34 to address best practises for managing settled dust in electrical enclosures, and protect workers from dust inhalation exposure.
Ingress Protection as a control method to meet QGN 34
The simplest and most cost-effective method is ingress protection (see IP ratings below), preventing the entry of dust and water. The experts at ExTC can perform fast turnaround NATA accredited testing up to IP68, with one of the largest dust testing chambers in Australia, contact us for a quote.
How ExTC can help with Ingress Protection
- Enclosures protected by IP6X could be removed from cleaning registers e.g. RS20
- Demonstrate SHMS compliance with CMSHR 2017, and is compatible visual inspections as a monitoring system for reduced complexity
- IP design is cost-effective and time-saving than maintaining a pressurisation or filtration system
