Paragraph 4.1.4 FillingF1
Aerosol dispensers filled with compressed gas shall not be required to withstand a pressure of more than 9 bars at 50°C.
Aerosol dispensers filled with dissolved gas shall not be required to withstand a pressure of more than 8 bars at 50°C.
Aerosol dispensers containing liquefied gas or mixtures of liquefied gas shall not be required to withstand, at 20°C, pressures higher than those shown in the following table:
| Total capacity | Percentage by weight of liquefied gas in the total mixture | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 % | 50 % | 80 % | |
| 50 to 80 ml | 3.5 bars | 2.8 bars | 2.5 bars |
| < 80 to 160 ml | 3.2 bars | 2.5 bars | 2.2 bars |
| < 160 to 220 ml | 2.8 bars | 2.1 bars | 1.8 bars |
This table shows the pressure limits permitted at 20°C in relation to the percentage of gas.
Pressure limits for percentages of gas not shown in the table shall be extrapolated from it.
