# The Aerosol Dispensers Regulations 2009, Paragraph 6.2.2: Tests on filled aerosol dispensers


Air and water-tightness inspection tests shall be carried out by immersing a representative number of filled aerosol dispensers in a bath of water. The temperature of the bath and the period of immersion must be such as to enable the contents of the aerosol dispenser to attain a uniform temperature of 50°C during the time required to ensure that there is no bursting or rupture.
Any batch of aerosol dispensers which does not pass these tests must be considered unsuitable for use.
