23、 spray. The standard applies to aerosol products that have a spray distance of 150 mm or more. It does not apply to aerosol containers fitted with a metering valve. NOTE Aerosol products dispensed in the form of a foam, mousse, gel or paste which have a spray distance of less than 150 mm are specifi
24、ed in EN 14851. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 ignition source gas burner providing a blue non-luminous flame 40 mm to 50 mm in height 2.2 sustained combustion stable flame maintained for 5 s 3 Principle An aerosol is sprayed
25、 towards an ignition source at distances from 150 mm to 900 mm in increments of 150 mm. Any resulting ignition is noted and any sustained combustion which occurs is timed for up to 5 s. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Scale, for measuring height of flame, graduated in millimetres. 4.2 Support and clamp, for holding
26、 the graduated scale in position. 4.3 Chronometer (stopwatch), accurate to 0,2 s. 4.4 Candle, wax taper, match or lighter. 4.5 Calibrated laboratory scales (balance), accurate to 0,1 g. 4.6 Water bath, accurate to 1 C and maintained at 20 C. 4.7 Thermometer, accurate to 1 C. 4.8 Hygrometer accurate
27、to 5 %. 4.9 Pressure, gauge, accurate to 0,1 bar. 5 Test conditions The tests shall be carried out in a fume hood capable of ventilation, with the temperature controlled at 20 C 5 C and relative humidity in the range 30 % to 80 %. Ventilate the fume hood and room for at least 3 min after each test.

29、C 1 C by immersing at least 95 % of the container in water at this temperature for at least 30 min before each test. Before testing, prime each aerosol by discharging for approximately 1 s. NOTE The purpose of this action is to remove non-homogeneous material from the diptube. 7 Test sequence Each a
30、erosol container shall be tested: a) when full by carrying out the complete procedure, with the gas burner in the range of 150 mm to 900 mm from the actuator of the aerosol container; b) when 10 % to 12 % full (nominal % by weight) by undergoing only one test, either at 150 mm from the actuator when
31、 the spray from a full container did not ignite at all, otherwise at the Flame Ignition Distance of the spray of a full container plus 150 mm. The ignition source shall be positioned accordingly. 8 Test procedure NOTE The following procedure requires spray to be tested at intervals of 150 mm in the
32、distance between the burner flame and the aerosol actuator orifice, within the range of 150 mm to 900 mm. It is convenient to start at 600 mm distance between burner flame and aerosol actuator. The distance between burner flame and aerosol actuator should be increased by 150 mm if the spray ignites
33、at 600 mm distance or decreased by 150 mm if the spray does not ignite. The aim of the procedure is to determine the maximum distance between aerosol actuator and burner flame that leads to sustained combustion of the spray or to determine that ignition could not be obtained at 150 mm distance betwe
34、en the burner flame and the aerosols actuator. 8.1 Record the temperature and relative humidity of the environment (see clause 5). 8.2 Determine the total mass of the full aerosol dispenser. 8.3 Determine the internal pressure within the aerosol dispenser and initial discharge rate at 20 C 1 C. If t
35、he internal pressure or the initial discharge rate indicate that the dispenser is likely to be faulty or incompletely filled it shall not be used for the test. 8.4 Support the gas burner on a flat horizontal surface or fix the burner to a support by means of a clamp. 8.5 Ignite the gas burner and ad
36、just it to produce a non-luminous flame 40 mm to 50 mm high. 8.6 Place the aerosol actuators orifice at the required distance from the flame. NOTE The aerosol is tested in the position it is designed to be used in, e.g. upright or inverted. 8.7 Ensure the aerosol actuators orifice is directed toward
37、s and level with the burner flame, so that the spray will be expelled through the top half of the flame (see Figure 1).

38、8.8 Immediately before spraying, shake the dispenser in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. 8.9 Follow strictly the manufacturers instructions for use, including whether the container is intended to be used in the upright or inverted position. Actuate the valve of the aerosol container,
39、to discharge its contents for 5 s. If ignition occurs, continue discharging and time the duration of the flame for up to 5 s, from the start of ignition. 8.10 Record the ignition results for the relevant distance between the gas burner and the aerosol container in a table similar to that shown in Ta
40、ble 1. 8.11 If no ignition occurs during step 8.9, test the aerosol in alternative orientations, e.g. inverted for upright products, to determine whether ignition is obtained. 8.12 Repeat steps 8.7, 8.8, 8.9, 8.10 and 8.11 twice more (a total of three times) for the same container at the same distan
41、ce between the gas burner and the aerosol actuator. 8.13 Repeat the test procedure (8.6 to 8.12) for another two aerosol containers of the same product at the same distance between gas burner and aerosol actuator. 8.14 Repeat steps 8.6 to 8.13 of the test procedure, increasing or decreasing the dist
42、ance between the aerosol actuator and the flame by 150 mm (within the range 150 mm to 900 mm), depending on the outcome of each test. 8.15 If no ignition occurs at 150 mm, the procedure is finished for initially full containers. The procedure is also finished when ignition and sustained combustion i
43、s obtained at a distance of 900 mm. If ignition could not be obtained at 150 mm distance, record that ignition did not occur. The maximum distance between burner flame and the aerosols actuator for which an ignition and sustained combustion was observed is noted as the Ignition Distance in all other
44、 circumstances. 8.16 One test should also be conducted on 3 containers of 10 % to 12 % nominal fill level. Discharge an aerosol container to a 10 % to 12 % nominal fill level (by mass) in bursts of 30 s maximum. Observe a 300 s minimum time period between bursts. During this interim period container
45、s shall be placed in the water bath for conditioning. These containers should be tested at a distance between the aerosols actuator and the burner flame of the Flame Ignition Distance of full containers plus 150 mm. 8.17 Repeat steps 8.6 to 8.13 for 10 % to 12 % nominal fill aerosol containers, omit
46、ting step 8.11 and 8.12. Perform this test only once on each container in the position (e.g. upright and inverted) that resulted in ignition (if any) when the full container was tested.
