What the buyer is looking for
Among other things, the DGUV operates the Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (IFA), based in Sankt Augustin, which primarily supports the statutory accident insurance institutions in Germany and their institutions with regard to scientific and technical issues in occupational health and safety. Among other things, the IFA also publishes so-called positive lists about once a year, in which devices tested and certified by the IFA that meet certain test criteria are listed, including for recognition by the institutions of the statutory accident insurance pursuant to §10(2) GefStoffV. However, some devices that are tested by other testing bodies and certified by other certification bodies are also included in the positive lists. The present procedure is specifically concerned with the positive list ""Machines for the elimination of hazardous dusts" , No. in the IFA Manual: 510 210/1.
