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.
