DOP TESTING AVAILABLE FROM ALL PREPARATION EQUIPMENT

WHAT IS DOP TESTING?

DOP Stands for Dispersed Oil Particulate test, which is required to meet the Australian standard (IEC60335.2.69 section AA.22.201.2).

A DOP Test is a test that gives the facts about the efficiency of a tool or equipment’s filters.

The test is to ensure no leaks in the HEPA Filter or the seals inside your machine, for H-Class we’re testing for at least 99.995% filter efficiency.

DOP TESTING can be performed on your equipment at All Preparation Equipment Service Centre located at 1/40 Rivergate Place, Murarrie. 4172.

According to the new Silica Regulations in QLD, in order to maintain an H-class rating, the Vacuums must be DOP tested every 12 months and maintained in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations. In the vast majority of cases, this means that the filters will need to be changed at the same time as DOP testing if they haven't already been replaced in the previous 12 months.

- Vacuum manufacturers outline a service schedule in order to maintain performance and the warranty. Usually 12 months of use coincides with the HEPA filter requiring replacement.
- Since you pay per DOP test, if your vacuum failed the test and required the HEPA filter being replaced, you'd then need to pay for a second test.
- HEPA filter replacement requires a service technician in most cases to avoid damaging the motor packs, it's far more cost effective to replace the HEPA filter at the same time that you've already got it in for DOP testing.
