Overview - EN 14848:2020 (Aerosol containers, valve cup dimensions)
EN 14848:2020 is a CEN European Standard that defines the critical dimensions of valve cups intended for clinching into metal aerosol containers with a 25,4 mm (25.4 mm) aperture. It sets dimensional requirements that are used for process control, incoming goods inspection and to ensure reliable closure efficiency in aerosol production. The standard applies to metal containers used with EN 14847 (tinplate) and EN 15006 (aluminium) and covers cups made from various metals; it does not specify dimples on aperture containers.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Dimensions for valve cups suitable for clinching into 25,4 mm aperture metal aerosol containers.
- Materials: Cups in tinplate, blackplate, stainless steel, aluminium and aluminium alloys are permitted - the standard’s dimensions are largely material-independent.
- Wall thickness vs outside diameter: The standard specifies outside diameter (D) tolerances that depend on cup wall thickness (S). Representative values from the standard:
- S = 0,25 to 0,42 mm → D = 32,50 ± 0,10 mm
- S = 0,50 mm → D = 32,90 ± 0,10 mm
- S = 0,60 mm → D = 33,10 ± 0,10 mm
- Cup body diameter allowance: The cup body diameter may be smaller than the maximum figure of 25,15 mm ± 0,08 mm when using plastic sleeve gaskets.
- Dimples excluded: Dimples are not specified; they are optional but discouraged because they can damage the 25,4 mm aperture or cause coating defects on lacquered cups.
- Assembly caution: Avoid positioning clinching jaws too close to the cup base to prevent disturbance or rupture of the cup.
Practical applications and who uses EN 14848:2020
This standard is relevant to:
- Packaging engineers and product designers working on aerosol containers and valves
- Manufacturers of valve cups and aerosol cans (tinplate/aluminium)
- Fillers and contract packagers performing incoming goods inspection and clinch-setting
- Quality and process-control teams responsible for dimensional tolerances and closure integrity
- Test labs and regulatory/compliance personnel verifying conformity with European aerosol packaging standards
