What is BS 6989 – Loose bulk materials about?
BS 6989 standard discusses the safety of storage equipment for loose bulk materials. With a bulk material, the particle components are too small to be counted individually and these materials are typically stored in heaps or within silos.
BS 6989 gives as an adjunct to the general safety rules laid down in ISO 1819, special safety rules for storage equipment for loose bulk materials, such as hoppers, silos, storage bins and bunkers, and bin gates.
