BAMA introduces stand-alone aerosol safety guides
The British Aerosol Manufacturers’ Association (BAMA) has published advice from the third issue of The BAMA Standard for Consumer Safety and Good Manufacturing Practice as two stand-alone guides. The standard, says BAMA, provides a step-by-step guide for companies to assess their performance against clear requirements for every stage of the aerosol lifecycle including design, filling, warehousing, disposal and emergency planning.

Two separate guides are available: The BAMA Guide to Aerosol Design (2009) and The BAMA Guide to Emergency Planning. The design guide sets out good practice in aerosol product design and testing including specifications, compatibility of formulation with packaging materials, toxicity assessments, understanding corrosion potential and test methods, while the emergency planning guide advises on emergency plans for sites manufacturing aerosols and handling filled aerosols. Both are available to non-members for £150 and £25 respectively.
