What is Aerosol Container?

To be defined according to the AEROSOL CONTAINERS REGULATION (75/324/EC),

Aerosol Container: Made of metal, glass or plastic; are non-reusable containers containing a gas compressed, liquefied or dissolved under pressure, with or without a liquid, paste or powder, and fitted with a mechanical device capable of expelling the contents in the form of foam, paste, powder or liquid phase, liquid particles in gas or solid.

The Aerosol Containers Regulation 75/324/EC is a regulation adopted by the European Economic Community (EEC). This regulation specifies which criteria aerosol containers must meet before they can be placed on the market. The regulation covers specific requirements for the design, manufacture, filling and labeling of aerosol containers. The aim is to ensure the safety of consumers and the environment.

Among the main provisions of this regulation are:

1. **Maximum Allowable Pressure:** Indicates that aerosol containers must be under a certain maximum pressure.

2. **Construction and Material:** Indicates that aerosol containers must be made of certain materials and have a certain structure.

3. **Tightness and Safety Tests:** Indicates that aerosol containers placed on the market must pass some safety tests such as leakproofness and explosion.

4. **Labeling:** Indicates that aerosol containers must have labels with specific information. This includes information such as directions for use, warnings and ingredient information.

5. **Environmental Impact:** Restricts the use of certain aerosol propellants. For example, the use of ozone-depleting CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) is restricted by such regulations.

Compliance analysis with the Aerosol Containers Directive is performed to evaluate whether an aerosol product complies with the criteria set out in this regulation. This analysis covers the physical and chemical properties of the product, pressure values, label information and other relevant parameters.

Companies that produce aerosol products or offer them to the European market must fully comply with the criteria specified in this regulation. Non-compliance may result in serious sanctions and withdrawal of products from the market. Therefore, it is important to carefully analyze products for compliance with this regulation.
