Specifies a gravimetric method for the collection and determination of respirable dust. The aim of this revision is to align the Standard more closely with the definition of respirable dust given in ISO 7708.

This Standard sets out a method for the collection and gravimetric determination of respirable dust in workplace atmospheres. This method does not consider the measurement of ‘inhalable’ dust which is covered in AS 3640.
