Overview

SIST EN 15008:2017 is a European Standard developed by CEN that defines the dimensions and volumes of one-piece aluminium aerosol containers with a standardized 25,4 mm aperture. This standard applies specifically to monobloc (one-piece) aluminium aerosol cans featuring various shoulder profiles-ogival, spherical, or flat. It ensures uniformity and compatibility within the packaging and aerosol industries by specifying key dimensional requirements and volume capacities.

Key Topics

• Scope and Application: Focuses on one-piece aluminium aerosol containers with a 25,4 mm aperture, used widely in spray and dispensing applications.
• Construction Definition: Specifies monobloc construction, which means containers are manufactured without seams, welding, or soldering, enhancing container integrity and durability.
• Dimensional Standards: Defines five critical dimensions:
  • Brimful capacity (total volume in millilitres)
  • Nominal outside diameter with ±0.3 mm tolerance
  • Cover seat height with ±0.5 mm tolerance
  • Nominal overall height with ±0.4 mm tolerance
  • Shoulder profile types: ogival, spherical, and flat
• Filling Volumes: Sets nominal filling volumes considering different propellant types-liquefied gas, compressed gas, or gases with specific Bunsen coefficients-to optimize aerosol performance.
• Tolerance and Measurement: References EN 15010 for tolerances related to the clinch (container bottom seal) ensuring precise manufacturing.

Applications

SIST EN 15008:2017 is essential for manufacturers, designers, and quality control specialists in the aerosol container industry. Its practical applications include:

• Aerosol Packaging Design: Ensures reliable, standardized container dimensions for seamless fitting with valves and actuators.
• Quality Assurance: Provides clear dimensional tolerances to avoid defects in production and guarantee compatibility with filling and sealing machinery.
• Product Safety and Performance: Accurate volume specifications allow for correct propellant filling, maintaining container safety and spray efficiency.
• Supply Chain Harmonization: Enables suppliers and manufacturers across Europe to maintain consistency, facilitating trade and reducing costs.

Common sectors benefiting from this standard include cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, household products, and industrial aerosols.

Related Standards

SIST EN 15008:2017 is part of a comprehensive package of aerosol container standards, including:

• EN 15010: Aluminium container tolerances related to the clinch - complements EN 15008 by detailing manufacturing precision.
• EN 14847: Tinplate aerosol containers-dimensions for 25,4 mm aperture containers.
• EN 15007: Tinplate containers with two or three pieces.
• EN 15009: Standards for compartmented aerosol containers.
• EN 14849 / EN 14854: Standards for glass aerosol containers focusing on valve ferrules and neck finishes.

Additionally, EN ISO 90-3 provides definitions and measurement methods for aerosol can dimensions, serving as a fundamental reference across these standards.
