How advanced is theglobal harmonisation in

todays world

23/09/2010 27th International Aerosol Congress Alain D'HAESE


2/24

Global harmonisation

Regulatory perspective

on some topics:

Flammability of aerosols

Aerosol labelling

Transport of aerosols

Aerosol can construction standard



3/24

Flammability of Aerosols



4/24


UN issue finalised in 2002!

Requirements in theUN Manual of Tests and Criteria

(supplement to the UN Model Regulations):

Part III, Section 31

Classification Procedures, Test Methods andCriteria relating to Flammable Aerosols of Class 2

Aerosols are considered for classification as

flammable on the basis of:

their contentin flammable components

the chemical heat of combustion

results of the tests:Ignition distance test (for spray aerosols)

Enclosed space ignition test (for spray aerosols)

Foam test (for foam aerosols)



7/24


When product not submitted to the classification

scheme

automatically the strictest classification applies

Flammable Aerosols Category 2,

i.e. extremely flammable



8/24


Implementation for transport of dangerous goods

Linked to the implementation ofUN Model Regulations from rev.13 (2003)

Implemented:

air transport: ICAO TI (international)

sea transport: IMDG Code (international)

road transport: EU27+19 countries (ADR), USA

(49CFR), Australia (ADG), Chile, China, Japan,

Korea, ... but pending for Canada, Mercosur...



9/24


Implementation for supply and uses

Linked to the implementation ofUN GHS from the 1st edition (2003)

Implemented:

EU27 (transition period until June 2015 for

mixtures) China

Future FEA Proposals

Decrease maximum allowed volume of theliquid phase at 50C (90%)

Alignment with Aerosol Dispensers Directive

Increase maximum allowed internal pressure at

50C (15bar issue)For non

flammable propellants only

Plastic aerosolsAs metal aerosols + drop tests

Needs and opportunities to harmonise?

FEA and CSPA will jointly assess the differencesand will discuss possible globally harmonised

standard

Plastic Aerosols ...

Renewed interest

Potential to define global standard
