Aerosol Filling (2009)

£500

The purpose of the Aerosol Filing Guide to help maximise safety levels across the complete aerosol manufacturing process and to ensure safety for the consumer through adherence to all required quality controls. The Guide aims to cover the whole range of aerosol filling, both large and small operations, and all types of products with the exception of pharmaceuticals. Therefore, whilst all five parts are relevant to all aerosol fillers, some of the advice may not be applicable to a particular filling operation. In some cases guidance is given as to the applicability of advice, but in the majority of cases the decision is left to the assessor’s common sense.

FEA Guidelines on Basic Safety Requirements in Laboratories dealing with Aerosols

Free to Members ONLY

These Guidelines represent a valuable contribution in achieving this goal, not only for our industry, but also for laboratories which are not dealing with aerosol dispensers on a regular base. These Guidelines are recommended by FEA as a practical contribution to good and safe practice in the various operations encountered in laboratories engaged in the development or testing of aerosol products. Please note that these Guidelines should be considered in addition to local legislation, which will always take priority

 BAMA members can obtain a free copy by using the BAMA Members Log-on; otherwise the Guide can be purchased for €50 from FEA at www.aerosol.org/publications.html
