Overview

EN 14849:2005 (CEN) is a European standard that specifies the critical dimensions of aerosol valve ferrules for glass containers. It defines dimensional requirements that ensure an effective and secure fastening of valves to glass aerosol containers with nominal neck finishes of 11 mm, 13 mm, 15 mm, 17 mm, 18 mm and 20 mm as referenced to EN 14854. The standard includes figure(s) and a table of numeric limits (in millimetres) and geometric tolerances that control interchangeability and fit between valve ferrules and glass neck finishes.

Key Topics

• Scope: dimensions important for the fastening of valves on glass aerosol containers (nominal neck finishes 11–20 mm).
• Dimensional variables: defined ferrule features are identified by letters (for example A, B, C) and measured according to the standard’s figure(s).
  • A is explicitly noted to be measured at the base of the radius.
  • A small feature tolerance X = 0.4 ± 0.05 mm and angular tolerance < 0°30' are shown on the ferrule detail.
• Numeric limits: Table 1 in the standard provides minimum/maximum values for the ferrule internal and external dimensions and other critical limits in millimetres.
• Conformance: the document is part of a harmonized CEN series for aerosol container dimensions and is intended for national adoption by CEN members.

Applications

EN 14849 is practical for anyone involved in the design, manufacture, procurement, testing or quality control of aerosol systems using glass containers:

• Glass container manufacturers - to design neck finishes compatible with standard valve ferrules.
• Aerosol valve and ferrule manufacturers - to produce ferrules that reliably fasten to specified glass neck finishes.
• Contract packagers and OEMs - to specify valve/neck compatibility and ensure leak-free assembly.
• Quality engineers and laboratory personnel - to verify dimensional conformity during incoming inspection and process control.
• Regulatory and standards professionals - to reference a harmonized European dimensioning practice for product compliance and interoperability.

Practical benefits include improved interchangeability, reduced assembly failures, better sealing performance and clearer procurement specifications for valve-to-container assemblies.
