Aerosol containers - Determination of the ignition distance of the spray jet

This European Standard describes a method of determining the maximum distance between the orifice of an aerosol container and a flame that results in ignition and sustained combustion of an aerosol spray. The standard applies to aerosol products that have a spray distance of 150 mm or more. It does not apply to aerosol containers fitted with a metering valve.
NOTE   Aerosol products dispensed in the form of a foam, mousse, gel or paste which have a spray distance of less than 150 mm are specified in EN 14851.

Aerosolpackungen - Ermittlung des Entzündungsabstandes des Sprühstrahles

Récipients pour aérosols - Détermination de la distance d'inflammation du jet de pulvérisation

La présente Norme européenne décrit une méthode permettant de déterminer la distance maximale entre l’orifice d’un récipient pour aérosols et une flamme avant inflammation et combustion prolongée d’une pulvérisation d’aérosol. Cette norme s’applique aux produits en aérosol dont la distance de pulvérisation est d’au moins 150 mm. Elle ne s’applique pas aux récipients pour aérosol munis d’une valve doseuse.
NOTE   Les produits en aérosol délivrés sous la forme d’une mousse, d’un gel ou d’une pâte, dont la distance de pulvérisation est inférieure à 150 mm sont spécifiés dans l’EN 14851.

1 Scope
This European Standard describes a method of determining the maximum distance between the orifice of an
aerosol container and a flame that results in ignition and sustained combustion of an aerosol spray. The
standard applies to aerosol products that have a spray distance of 150 mm or more. It does not apply to
aerosol containers fitted with a metering valve.
NOTE Aerosol products dispensed in the form of a foam, mousse, gel or paste which have a spray distance of less
than 150 mm are specified in EN 14851.
2 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1
ignition source
gas burner providing a blue non-luminous flame 40 mm to 50 mm in height
2.2
sustained combustion
stable flame maintained for 5 s
3 Principle
An aerosol is sprayed towards an ignition source at distances from 150 mm to 900 mm in increments of
150 mm. Any resulting ignition is noted and any sustained combustion which occurs is timed for up to 5 s.
