# The Aerosol Dispensers Regulations 2009, Paragraph 1.8: Flammable contents


Contents of aerosols shall be considered as flammable if they contain any component which is classified as flammable:
(a) flammable liquid means a liquid having a flashpoint of not more than 93°C.
(b) flammable solid means a solid substance or mixture which is readily combustible or may cause or contribute to fire as a result of friction; readily combustible solids are powdered, granular, or pasty substances or mixtures which are dangerous if they can be easily ignited by brief contact with an ignition source, such as a burning match, and if the flame spreads rapidly.
(c) flammable gas means a gas or gas mixture having a flammable range with air at 20°C and a standard pressure of 1.013 bar.
This definition does not cover pyrophoric, self—heating or water—reactive substances and mixtures, which shall never be components of aerosol contents.
