1、Designation: D7952 15Standard Test Method forMeasuring Aspiration Potential of Aerosol Products1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7952; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A
2、 number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers a small-scale laboratory proce-dure to determine the aspiration potential of aerosol productsby determining sp
3、ray pattern and aerosol deposition rates.1.2 This test method has been developed to address a needto identify which aerosol products may present an aspirationrisk such that special labeling and/or child-resistant packagingwould be appropriate. Studies based on this method may allowthe development of
4、 a practice to identify such aerosol products.1.3 Although this method may be useful for testing non-pressurized aerosol products, its development has been limitedto testing pressurized aerosols.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses
5、are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safet
6、y and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Terminology2.1 Definitions:2.1.1 aerosol product, na product that dispenses liquid asan aerosol.2.1.2 ballistic stream (or stream), na stream pattern thatdeposits entirely in the test cup.2.1.3 cone spr
7、ay, nspray pattern where the bottom of thetest cup is completely covered duringa5to7stest but aportion of the aerosol is deposited outside of the cup during theentire test.2.1.4 deposition rate, nthe amount of aerosol (in grams)that dispenses in a test cup in one second.2.1.5 mist, nspray pattern wh
8、ere the aerosol only partiallycovers the bottom of the test cup duringa5to7stest.2.1.6 pressurized aerosol product, nan aerosol productthat is self-pressurized and does not require pumping todispense an aerosol.2.1.7 spray pattern, nthe pattern in which an aerosol isdispensed and deposited.3. Summar
9、y of Test Method3.1 After shaking and discarding 5 s worth of spray, the testaerosol is sprayed onto a test cup held in place with sticky waxfrom an aligning apparatus (see Fig. 1) for 5 to 7 s. The test cupis weighed before the test and within 60 s after concluding thetest.4. Significance and Use4.
10、1 This test method provides a means of measuringwhether or not an aerosol product may present an aspirationrisk if a dispensed aerosol gets into ones mouth.4.2 The degree of risk for aspiration of an aerosol dependsboth on spray pattern as well as aerosol deposition rate.24.3 This test method will b
