What the source supports
The source links below support the regulatory, standards-development, investigation, or test-characteristic context stated on this page. DustDHA does not reproduce paywalled standard text and does not turn general source material into a facility-specific engineering conclusion. Where a fact depends on the current NFPA 660 edition, use the official NFPA publication and record the edition reviewed.
How to apply the answer at a real facility
Record the material form, process conditions, equipment and enclosure, current safeguards, authority having jurisdiction, and the evidence used. Separate verified facts from assumptions. If a decision affects life safety, explosion protection, code compliance, or a signed engineering deliverable, have a qualified professional evaluate the actual site rather than relying on this summary.
Keep the evidence chain connected.
