70 FOREWORD
71 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
72 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
73 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
74 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical
75 Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
76 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
77 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations
78 liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International
79 Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two
80 organizations.
81 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
82 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
83 interested IEC National Committees.
84 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
85 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
86 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
87 misinterpretation by any end user.
88 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
89 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
90 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
91 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification b odies provide conformity
92 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
93 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
94 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
95 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
96 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
97 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
98 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
99 Publications.
100 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
101 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
102 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
103 patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
104 International Standard IEC 60721-2-5 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 104:
105 Environmental conditions, classification, and methods of test.
106 This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 1997, and constitutes a
107 technical revision.
108 This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
109 edition:
110 a) The Information provided in previous issue has been extensively enhanced and revised.
111 b) New information on methodologies for deriving dust and sand severities has been
112 included.
IEC CDV 60721-2-5 © IEC 2023 5 104/1025/CDV

113 c) Annex A has been removed because, despite extensive investigation, the source and
114 accuracy of the severities could not be verified. Equivalent information is now provided
115 within the text.

157 4 Dust and sand
158 4.1 Classification of dust and sand
159 'Dust' and 'Sand' are terms for solid non-cohesive particulate matter, usually of mineral origin, found on
160 the surface of the earth or suspended in the atmosphere. The range of particle diameters of dust and
161 sand together extends from about 0.1 µm to 2 000 µm. The 2 000 µm value is generally considered as
162 the lower limit for very fine pebbles. Conversely, particles below 1 µm are usually termed smoke and
163 fumes. Although dust and sand are normally differentiated on the basis of particle diameters, no
164 universally accepted demarcation value exists.
165 In this document, a classification based on their different aerodynamic behaviour is adopted. Particles
166 of less than 75 µm diameter can remain suspended in the atmosphere by natural turbulence of the air
167 for very long periods, even years. These are termed 'dust' by most authorities. Conversely, those
168 greater than 150 µm diameter are unable to remain airborne unless continually subjected to strong
169 natural winds, powerful air flows or the turbulence which may be caused, for example, by aircraft,
170 helicopter or convoys of land vehicles. These particles are termed 'sand'. Over the intermediate range
171 of diameters from 75 µm to 150 µm, there is a gradual transition in settling times and the particles are
172 variously referred to as 'dust' or 'sand' in different documents.
173 For the purposes of laboratory simulation, the default demarcation value for distinguishing sand from
174 dust is typically 149 µm, which is the diameter of the smallest particles retained by a No 100 standard
175 sieve.
176 4.2 Sand – distribution, hardness and angularity
177 4.2.1 Distribution
178 Sand is distributed widely over the Earth's surface. There are vast sandy regions in the Sahara and in
179 Saudi Arabia as well as significant areas in most the world's deserts. All the continents have sandy
180 beaches of various widths and there are large deposits at or near the surface in mainly inland areas
181 formerly covered by water. On account of this widespread occurrence of sand, it should be assumed

IEC CDV 60721-2-5 © IEC 2023 8 104/1025/CDV

182 that most unprotected products have the potential to be exposed to sandy conditions at some time
183 during their life.
184 4.2.2 Hardness and angularity
185 Hardness of the individual particles can determine their ability to scratch objects upon contact. Sand
186 which consists mainly of tiny broken chips of crystalline quartz or other mineral is generally harder than
187 most fused silica glass compositions. Consequently, sand can scratch the surface of most glass optical
188 devices. Table 1 lists a few common substances and hardness levels according to the Mohs scale.
189 Substances with a higher number can scratch any substance with a lower number.
190 Table 1 -- Hardness scale

2 - Gypsum Kaolinite, Alabaster, Mica (muscovite)
3 - Calcite Limestone, Marble

7 - Quartz Flint, Fused Silica, Olivine, Andalusite, Agate, Tourmaline
8 - Topaz Emery
9 - Corundum Sapphire, Silicon Carbide, Tungsten Carbide
10 - Diamond -
191 Hardness and angularity are usually the most important characteristics of sand grains. On a world-wide
192 basis, the majority of sands are composed of quartz (SiO2), which, in its most common form, has a
193 hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale. Other minerals which may be found in sand range from hardness 2
194 for white gypsum, to hardness 9 for corundum. Table 2 shows the main constituents of natural dusts
195 and sand, and the relative hardness of the particles. Minute quantities of other minerals such as zircon,
196 garnet, mica, magnetite, etc. may also be found. In addition, particulates resulting from industrial
197 processes, as well as microscopic vegetable and microbiological entities, may be present in dust. On a
198 world-wide basis, the majority of sands are composed of quartz.

200 Although in time, grains of sand become rounded by mutual abrasion; those having angular shape are
201 found in substantial proportion in most samples of sand. The latter arise from the tendency of some
202 rock-forming minerals, particularly quartz, to fracture along cleavage planes through impact action.
203 In general, the movement of sand by wind pressure is confined to the air layer within the first metre
204 above the ground. Even within this layer, about half the sand grains (by weight) move within the first
205 10 mm above the surface and most of the remainder are within the first 100 mm. As a consequence of
206 the low elevation at which the majority of sand grains move, most abrasion damage caused by sand
207 outside high wind periods is at or near ground level.

208 4.3 Dust - distribution, concentration and particle size
209 4.3.1 General
210 The extent to which dust penetrates the atmosphere depends on several factors. The primary
211 requirements for a dust storm include the existence of loose dry soil and a strong wind, whilst a deep
212 layer of convection will favour the upward distribution of the dust. Extreme conditions occur over desert
213 terrain. The critical wind velocity depends on the size and distribution of particles and so is extremely
214 variable from one region to another. Dust storms are more likely by day than by night and are more
215 likely in dry summer months than in rainy winter months.
216 In those regions which are part cultivated land and part desert the wind-blown material is likely to consist
217 of a true mixture of dust and sand, but even in a true sand desert region some dust particles are likely
218 to be present.
219 4.3.2 Distribution
220 In contrast to sand, dust particles can remain suspended in air indefinitely and may settle on surfaces
221 anywhere.
222 In dry conditions, soils with more than 9% by weight of dust particles become at least moderately dusty
223 and those with 14% or more are potentially very dusty. Thus, as over 40% of the land surface of the
224 world, excluding Antarctica, is classified as moisture deficient and a further 40% is seasonally dry, dust
225 should be expected to be present over much of the land surfaces of the world for substantial parts of
226 the year. Even in regions and seasons of heavy rainfall, dust continues to create problems where the
227 protective cover has been broken. Many moist areas are so well drained that most unprotected soil
228 becomes dust in a remarkably short time after heavy rain. There is evidence that dust problems are
229 aggravated by higher atmospheric temperatures, by relative humidities below 30% and by the drying
230 action of winds.
231 4.3.3 Concentration
232 The concentration of dust in the atmosphere varies widely with geographical locality, local climatic
233 conditions and the degree of human activity taking place. Under suitable conditions enormous additions
234 of dust may be injected locally and temporarily at the surface whilst the suspended dust drifts away with
235 the wind.
236 Table 3 indicates typical concentrations encountered in various regions within an area having a
237 temperate climate. Degrees of visibility and concentrations at various altitudes over an Australian desert
238 are given in Table 4.
239 Probably the most effective dust production agent is human activity, especially when equipped with
240 machinery to increase speed and mobility. Trucks, bulldozers, aircraft, and people are effective in the
241 destruction of protective cover and the consequent generation of small particles to such an extent that
242 dust problems should be expected nearly everywhere these activities take place. Possible exceptions
243 are those locations which are under permanent snow, ice or water cover, and where precipitation is so
244 frequent that the surface never dries out.
245 Measured about 2 metres above ground dust concentrations as high as 3,5 g/m have been observed
246 adjacent to tracked vehicles moving across deserts. Table 5 shows average measured concentrations
247 surrounding a tracked vehicle operating over desert terrain.

252 For the active area of a dust storm, a useful relationship exists between visibility and dust
253 concentrations.
-0.8
254 V = 25100∙C
255 Where;
256 V = Visibility (m)
257 C = Dust concentration, at a height of 2 m, (mg/m ).
-0.28
258 NOTE 1: Within the lowest 6 m of the atmosphere; C α h where h is the height in metres.
259 Thus, for a visibility of 30 m the average dust concentration, 2 m above the ground, would be 4,5 g/m
260 reducing to 3,3 g/m at 6 m above ground. Visibilities as low as 15 m can occur in severe dust storms;
3 3
261 although likely to be rare, the dust concentrations would then be 10,7 g/m at 2 m and 7,9 g/m at 6 m.
262 It should be noted that the above relationship does not apply for dust clouds some distance from the
263 storm area or at heights greater than 6 metres above the ground. The formula was derived from
264 observations in the region of Kansas and Colorado.
265 4.3.4 Particle size
266 Particle size refers to the mean diameter. The following sub-divisions of the overall size range of
267 airborne desert dust and sand have been proposed, based on the falling velocities of the particles:
268 a) Instantaneously airborne dust' comprises small pebbles and large particles greater than 150 µm
269 with a falling velocity in still air exceeding 1 m/s. The larger particles in this category are raised
270 by artificial means, such as vehicles and aircraft and missile propulsion systems, and are
271 unlikely to remain in suspension for more than a few seconds. 'Instantaneously airborne dust'
272 generally forms less than 50 % by weight of the total material in suspension.

IEC CDV 60721-2-5 © IEC 2023 11 104/1025/CDV

273 b) For 'temporarily airborne dust' the particle size range is between 2 µm and 150 µm and the
274 falling velocity in still air 0,002 m/s to 1 m/s. Dust in this category may be raised by artificial
275 means or natural winds, and the settling velocity is sufficiently low for the dust to remain in
276 suspension for a considerable time, particularly if the air flow is turbulent. Particles in this size
277 range comprise between 50 % and 100 % by weight of the total dust suspension.
278 c) 'Very slow settling dust' comprises dust with a particle size below 2 µm. The period of
279 suspension will depend on the terminal velocity of the particle. A particle of diameter 2 µm has
280 a terminal velocity of about 0,003 m/s, and if raised to a height of 1 km it would take about
281 30 days to fall to the ground even if the up currents no longer existed. Hence it is not surprising
282 that dust clouds can cover very large distances (several 1 000 km). The proportion by weight
283 for this range is generally less than 3 % of the total dust in suspension.
284 The particle size distribution may be stated on a percentage weight or count basis, sometimes in terms
285 of the percentage by weight of the particle that will pass through sieves of varying mesh sizes.
286 Particle size distributions to be expected in dust storms at various heights are illustrated in Table 6. It
287 should be noted that these data are given as percentage by count and cannot be directly compared
288 with size data given on a weight basis.

290 4.3.5 Dust concentrations in sheltered or enclosed locations
291 In sheltered or enclosed locations, with negligible movement of air, the following actions may occur.
292 a) Sedimentation. Sedimentation of dust and sand on products can occur due to the four different
293 mechanisms set out below. Movement of air tends to retard or inhibit sedimentation of dust and
