Grain Sieves • ISO 5223 (Intervention Grain)

Laboratory test sieves in accordance with the international standard EN ISO 5223 are a specialty product that finds application in the classification of grains and cereals as required by Government Intervention Boards. Grain analysis using test sieves has become the obligatory classification method in the majority of grain-producing nations and Blau-Metall has specialized in the production of test sieves according to EN ISO 5223 for over 25 years. As such, we offer all sieve aperture dimensions included within ISO 5223 as well as accessories to deliver an integrated solution for all grain sieving tasks.

All Blau-Metall laboratory test sieves are of robust design using high-stability frames and perforated plates made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel to ensure a long life and reliable sieving results over an extended period. Blau-Metall sieves are fully compatible with quality sieves of other manufacturers and can be used in combination with sieve shakers from all major suppliers. Our construction methodology with ease of use in mind enables a simple cleaning process for our sieves.

Rigorous optical inspection of all Blau-Metall sieves with modern digital measurement technology guarantees an outstanding quality of our products and full compliance with the tolerances specified in EN ISO 5223. The individual laser engraving on every sieve allows for full traceability and ever sieve is shipped with a Certificate of Compliance with the Standard (EN 10204 2.1) or, if required by the customer, with a Certificate of Inspection 3.1 (EN 10204) showing the results obtained from the optical inspection process.

Full Compliance

Blau-Metall manufactures test sieves using only norm-compliant materials; precision aperture technology ensures compliance with all tolerances specified in EN ISO 5223 (including reduced tolerances for aperture pitch). Every test sieve undergoes optical inspection using the instruments and methods specified in EN ISO 5223 to confirm compliance with the Standard which is documented according to EN 10204 and made available to the customer. Additionally, Blau-Metall keeps in its own records inspection documents for every sieve we ship so that full traceability is possible if requested by our customers.

Documentation of Norm Compliance of Test Sieves

For many of their applications, laboratory test sieves are classified as measurement instruments and, depending on national and international regulations, have to be inspected by their manufacturer prior to shipment. Blau-Metall complies with these regulations as every single sieve we deliver has undergone optical inspection according to the standard with which the sieve complies. Operators of test sieves are also obligated to re-certify sieves at regular intervals if they are being used as measurement instruments under applicable statutory regulations. Blau-Metall offers cost-efficient re-certification services with fast turnarounds and complete documentation made available to the customer.

Inspection Documents According to EN 10204

Certificate of Compliance with the Standard / Certificate of Compliance with Tolerances For every Blau-Metall test sieve, we issue a free Certificate of Compliance 2.1 to attest that the sieve was manufactured according to the specified standard or tolerances and has passed optical inspections as required by the respective standard. Additionally, a Test Sieve Record Card is issued for every Blau-Metall sieve to keep track of inspections carried out for that specific sieve.

Certificate of Inspection 3.1 / Certificate of Calibration 3.1

Upon customer request, we can deliver test sieves with an Inspection Certificate that includes all results obtained during optical inspection of the sieve to demonstrate its norm-compliance and increase confidence in the results of sieve analyses carried out with our products. Optionally, the inspection process can be carried out as a calibration in which at least three times as many apertures are measured than are required for the conventional certification according to ISO 3310 / EN ISO 5223 or their ASTM equivalents.

Inspection results for each sieve we deliver are saved in our records for at least one year so that Inspection Certificates can be ordered by our customers after the fact, should they be required.
