Dust laboratory services

Dust deposition analysis is conducted in accordance with ASTM (the American Society for Testing and Materials) methodology. Collected sample containers are transported to the laboratory under controlled conditions where analyses are conducted under SANAS ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation (No T0685).

Extensive scope of accredited testing methods

Until recently, dust fall-out monitoring equipment, which adhered to the strict ASTM D1739–98 regulations, were difficult or nearly impossible to come by in South Africa.

Dustco wanted to make a difference...

Realising this need, Dustco set out to create and manufacture fall-out dust solutions in South Africa that were 100% compliant to the legislation pertaining to the “Standard Test Method for Collection and Measurement of Dustfall”.

Aquatico only uses the Dustco units for dust deposition monitoring.
