United Kingdom
- (a)
Aerosol dispensers filled with compressed gas shall not be required to withstand a pressure of more than 9 bars at 50° C.
- (b)
Aerosol dispensers filled with dissolved gas shall not be required to withstand a pressure of more than 8 bars at 50° C.
- (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.
