Overview
EN 14854:2021 - Glass packaging: Dimensions of neck finishes for aerosol and spray glass containers - is a CEN European standard that defines dimensional requirements for glass container neck finishes to guarantee tight sealing with valves or pumps using ferrules specified in EN 14849. The standard applies to both moulded and tubular glass neck finishes with nominal neck diameters commonly called FEA 11, 13, 15, 17, 18 and 20. EN 14854:2021 supersedes the 2005 edition and introduces clearer separation between tubular and moulded specifications and updated tolerances and nomenclature.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and purpose: Ensures compatibility and leak-tight sealing between glass neck finishes and aerosol/spray ferrules.
- Applicable neck diameters: Nominal finishes around 11 mm, 13 mm, 15 mm, 17 mm, 18 mm and 20 mm for both moulded and tubular glass.
- Dimension tables and figures: Detailed dimensional charts (ØA, ØB max, ØC, D, D1, E, F min, G min, H min, I min, J, K) and geometrical symbols are provided for each finish size.
- Critical features:
- Flange finish (ØA, D, D1) and sealing bead diameter (ØC, E) to ensure valve ferrule engagement.
- Neck under-flange diameter (ØB max) measured at a defined height (F) - includes guidance for anti-rotation lug locations.
- Neck height (H), through-bore (I), cone angle (β) and radii (R1–R4) for finish geometry and crimping compatibility.
- Tolerances & updates:
- Introduced tolerances for sealing bead height on moulded glass.
- Recalculation of dimension F for better finish geometry consistency.
- Added specifications such as distance (G) from anti-rotation lug to under flange and minimum skirt heights.
- Annex A: Symbol definitions for consistent interpretation.
Practical applications and users
EN 14854:2021 is essential for:
- Glass container manufacturers - design and produce neck finishes that fit standard ferrules and pumps.
- Aerosol valve and pump suppliers - ensure ferrules specified in EN 14849 correctly seal on standardized neck finishes.
- Packaging engineers and product designers - select compatible glass containers and design crimping/assembly processes.
- Quality control and testing laboratories - verify dimensional conformity and sealing performance.
- Regulatory and procurement teams - specify compliant components for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, household aerosols and technical sprays.
Using this standard reduces leakage risk, improves interchangeability across suppliers, and streamlines production tooling and quality inspection.

— clear separation of the specifications for tubular glass from those for moulded glass;
— the height of the sealing bead on moulded glass only now has tolerances (and therefore the tolerance
of the flange height is slightly increased);
— the dimension F has been recalculated to be more consistent with the finish geometry (driven by
B max) for both moulded and tubular glass;
— addition of some complementary specifications for moulded glass: distance (G) from the lug to under
flange, minimum height (H min) for a standard skirt and some angles and radii;
— introduction of a nomenclature of the specified dimensions.
