Flammability of Aerosols
Aerosols are considered for classification as
flammable on the basis of:
their contentin flammable components
the chemical heat of combustion
results of the tests:Ignition distance test (for spray aerosols)
Enclosed space ignition test (for spray aerosols)
Foam test (for foam aerosols)

Flammability of Aerosols
When product not submitted to the classification
scheme
automatically the strictest classification applies
Flammable Aerosols Category 2,
i.e. extremely flammable
